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 .

“Reduced price to sell at $1500 is an early 1950’s Willys Overland 4X4 Truck. It has 68,445 miles on the odometer and has a four cylinder engine that runs fine and does not smoke.”
This is a project.

All the other drivetrain is stock but the steering box was relocated. This is a project but it would make a great winter project. Not much cooler than a old flat fender jeep. I have other parts too! Steering column, seats, roll bar etc.”

Saturday was my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary. Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!!
L to R: My mom’s sister Marilyn (AKA my book editor), Mom (Marjorie), Dad (Karl), and Dad’s brother B.B. This was taken on October 19, 1963, the date of their marriage.
We’ve traveled to the Seattle area to spend the weekend with family to celebrate, so eWillys will be a little disrupted until Monday morning’s posts. During our trip from Pasco to Seattle we detoured north to Wenatchee to pick up my great aunt. While there, we spotted a couple vintage jeeps (photos I’ll share on Monday). We even discovered (via the web) a “Jeepers It’s Bagels” Bagelry, which apparently has nothing to do with jeeps. Unfortunately, it will be closed by the time we arrive back in Wenatchee on Sunday to investigate.
Here’s a 1947 short story in “The Land” about the importance of the ubiquitous jeep to at least one farm in Australia. http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-page11396417
Charles forwarded these photos.
Here’s another great Baltimore Sun Archive photo that Marc found. It shows a jeep named Kitty traveling through a canal in England during the winter.

Charles forwarded this photo of a CJ-3A and trailer, with a few more jeeps in the background.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1950.
Joe spotted this Jeepster that maybe only a Green Bay Packer fan could love?
“THIS IS A UNIQUE ARIZONA BODY FOR THE PURPOSE OF YARD ART OR BRING BACK TO LIFE WITH RUNNING GEAR, GAUGES, ETC, I PRESENTLY HAVE AS A GREEN BAY PACKER KIND OF BAR CAR BECAUSE OF THE FLAT FENDERS*MISSING HOOD & GRILL HAVE LOCATED PARTS***DOES NOT COME WITH INTERIOR SEASTS AS SEEN IN PHOTO***NO TITLE ***”
Here’s a nicely modified 3B. I will be in Seattle this weekend.
“Built for hunting & summer fun. This Willy’s has been together a long time, old school built. Buick V-6, T-90 tranny, T-18 twin stick transfer case.
Dana 44 rear end with Detroit locker with Summer Brother axels. The front has a tru-trac locker. Both 538 gears, Excellent tires and wheels. Swampers 33×12.50, Warn 8274 wench, full cage, tilt wheel. List goes on.
This Willy’s is very well maintained. Adult owned and driven. I also tow bar for flat towing. Just like any other Jeep comes with extra parts. These pictures were taken two weeks ago and the wench and tires do go with the Jeep. This Jeep is not apart in my garage. This is a turn key Willy’s.
Thanks for your time.
