Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
Gary shot this photo of his jeep and boat. He says it really helps to have the jeep for putting the boat into tight, uneven locations on small lakes, like the one below at Binnewater Lake in Rosendale, NY. Looks like a beautiful day for sailing.
Here’s a neat photo of a 8 passenger custom jeep wagon. It looks like “Twit’s Coach Services” is written on the side.
Charles says this photo shows soviet soldiers beside the jeep of Canadian front reporter Richter on the May 7th, 1945.
UPDATE: Todd had to cancel the sale. He will relist soon.
Only the lift is for sale.
“Very Rare Find! Up for sale is a complete, working Monroe Hydraulic System that was manufactured as an aftermarket item for Willys Jeeps in the 1950’s era. These hydraulic systems were made for Willys Jeep Models CJ-2A, CJ-3A, CJ-3B and CJ-5.
What makes this more interesting is that the unit comes with the original Maintenance and Mechanic’s Manual and the original purchase receipt from 1958, which totaled over $900.
As you can see int he pictures, this items has been outside and used for over 50 years, so there is surface rust covering most of the unit.
Although not pictured, there is also a counterweight for this unit that sits nicely in the front bumper area that comes with the unit. Also, the scoop appears to be manufactured by Ford. The “Ford” plate is attached to the scoop as seen in the pictures.
I am located in the San Francisco Bay Area and do not have the time to box the unit. Ideally, the unit would be picked up in the SF Bay Area. If not, I may be able to get the unit to a shipper for boxing and transport but only after discussing with the buyer.”

Bill has this hardtop for sale.
“I have this hard top for sale for an old Jeep CJ-5. It is in excellent condition, ready for a repaint. You will have a tough time finding one this good. If you don’t want one this good, I have another one to sell that looks pretty crappy. This nice top might keep you dry(er) and warm(er) this winter. The extra weight will (might) make your Jeep ride more comfortably, add a plow to the front and it will (might) ride even better. I do know someone who has 2 snow plows to sell you that happen to fit Jeep CJ’s should you have interest. This ad is for the top, rear gate, 2 doors + whatever hardware seems to go with it. It will be removed from the Jeep soon so we can get to work on the body. You haul it away on your Jeep, on your truck, or on your back…. whatever you like.
If you want to come see it, call me. My # is (717) 3nine3-5337. Please leave a message if I don’t answer, it can be really loud where I work and I might not hear the phone ring.
The Jeep is obviously not included. No scams, no spams, no offers to sell it for me. I will remove when sold. I am NOT interested in trading this even up for your $45,000 Harley unless I get the Harley + $500 cash. Thanks for looking.”

Our trip to Mica, Washington.
Ann’s cousin invited us to spend the night at her place Saturday night near Spokane, Washington. Normally the drive via the interstate takes just over two hours. We managed to make it last six by following an off-the-beaten path through the Palouse area of Washington. Here are a few of our adventures.
Our plan to leave at 9am was thwarted when I turned off the 7am alarm. I decided I wasn’t in enough hurry to leave that early. By the time we reached our first destination, Connell (only 30 miles from the house), we decided to eat some lunch. As we toured downtown, we ran across several ‘picnic’ tables with sculptures of squirrels on them. Here are Ann with our trusty cat-dog Zollie.
Under the hand of one squirrel is a ‘mortgage’ document. The squirrel is trying to get the rabbits to sign a loan. The money is being borrowed from Mr. Coyote. As best we could tell, this was the most exciting thing happening in Connell.
From Connell we left the Interstate and drove toward the tiny town of Kahlotus. Here’s a view through our front window:
When we arrived in Kahlotus, I spotted a trailer with the most unusual fenders. Ever seen anything like this? Both sides used worn tires as fenders.
Here’s a rare newsletter.
“Here is a vintage 1978, The Jeep Line Newsletter, from Toledo Ohio, Volume 2, number 2. The newsletter is in very good condition. There are a couple of small pen marks on the back page. It is complete with 8 pages in it. Sorry about the reflection from the light. I do ship internationally. Please email me with any questions.”

It runs via a Chrysler V8.
“Small displacement chrysler V8 engine . These were in production from 1956 until 1963. There arent many that have survived. This is the only rust free example i have ever seen. I have the complete history for this truck. It has been in the central valley of California since it was new. Complete truck running with a few new parts in boxes.”
UPDATE: Was $9500. **Status Unknown**
This has a Buick V6 in it.
“This is an original World War II Ford GPW (Willy’s MB) Jeep. The ford serial number is 94524 and was delivered to the U.S. Government on 1-21-43 (January 21st, 1943). The Army issue number is 20202246. It has been generally restored top to bottom, runs perfectly, and is mostly comprised of original parts. It has clear current title, starts with ease, runs beautifully and is simply a pleasure to both own and drive.
I originally discovered the Jeep in New Mexico several years ago. The tub and majority of the parts had little to no rust when I had the jeep sand blasted. Of particular note is that both the original WWII frame and original WWII data plate have the matching serial numbers 94524 (the frame stamp is faded but can still be read). Additionally, the tub (body) is genuine WWII manufactured by Ford with various “F” stamps throughout the body which add to its uniqueness.
Here is a rundown of his work I had done- It has a new battery, new gauges, brakes totally taken apart cleaned, inspected and rebuilt, brake lines, fuel lines, oil lines and wiring harness were all replaced with the best available in the last several years. Most of the Jeep was dismantled, stripped, repaired where needed, repainted and re-assembled. I did not remove the motor or transmission. The tires are vintage reproduction and correct to period. I added saftey belts and turn signals for safety.
The engine is a post war 70’s engine which I actually prefer as these engines are far more reliable and easier to maintain. I purposely did not replace the engine with a reproduction for I wanted to travel more than 45 MPH. The originals only traveled that fast and were shaking apart at that. I can easily merge with traffic and travel on the highway at 60-70 MPH with no problems.
Additional accessories include-
-U.S. WWII full Size Infantry Axe
-Original U.S. WWII dated gasoline can
-Garand/Thompson rifle rack on inside of windshield.
-New old Stock Side straps
There may be other WWII Jeeps on the market but very few that run as well and have as many authentic vintage parts. The Jeep was in service until 1957 where it was sold at auction. The Jeep has some changes to it as made at the TMP since it served during the Korean War era as well. I have the advertisement where it was sold in Texas. If you ever wanted a WW2 Jeep this is the one!”
UPDATE: Was $3850. **Status Unknown**
(10/28/2013) The Studebaker motor looks good in there.
“Very solid classically modified Willys CJ-2A, loaded with after market accessories.
I have owned this jeep for several years and lightly used it around my property. I picked it up in Salt Lake City from the son of the man who had owned it most of it’s life. He had used it for hunting and just tooling around in his retirement, in Arizona. He had purchased the Jeep from a family friend where it started it’s life, in Wyoming. Due to the Jeep’s life in dry climates, it remains very solid.
The Jeep was classically modified many years ago to give it more power. As was common in the 50’s, it had it’s motor replaced with a Studebaker Champion 6 Cyl for a boost in power. That engine remains and is a strong and solid runner. It does seem to need some carburetor work right now. It starts well and runs well but is a bit finicky getting the revs up. Once there, it cruises well. The only other real issue with the Jeep is the radiator has a few small leaks and has to be watched.
The Jeep is a classic example of a Jeep modified to meet the owner’s quirks through the addition of some Willys options and aftermarket accessories.
-It has two heaters in it (one for each side)
-It has mounting hardware for a soft top
-It had a special spare carrier mounted on the tailgate (removed and still have)
-It has a 6/12 volt radio
-It has an ash tray mounted in the dash
-It has turn signals
-It has heavy duty home made bumpers
-It had a folding game reck welded to the rear bumper (removed and still have)
-It had a gun rack mounted between the seats (removed and still have)
-It has a brake booster
-It has 16″ wheels (15″ was standard)
-It has lockout front hubs
-It has a welded rear end to give true 4wd capability
-It has a removable tow bar for 2″ hitch
-The coolest and rarest feature on the Jeep is a PTO driven winch, which works great and is very handy
The Jeep is very solid and with someone who can address the carburetor issue, will be a good strong vehicle for years to come.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
