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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

Here’s a rare kit that looks complete.
“U.S. Army Amphibian Jeep (Quack)
MOD-AC Manufacturing Co
Los Angeles, Calif.
1/2 Inch Scale Wooden Model
I believe it is from 1943.
Very hard to find in used good condition.
Please examine all pictures carefully as I do not know if all the pieces are there.
The body of the Jeep is in very good condition as are the pieces and parts I do have.
The box does have wear and tear (see picts).
The paper portion of the kit does have some of the pieces cut out (see picts).
I am selling this model “as-is” with no warranty or returns.
I can only accept PayPal as the form of payment.
I will only ship within the United States.
If you have any questions please feel free to email me.
Thanks for looking.”
Only the cover is being sold. Apparently, a flat tire on the jeep has stalled a parade. Seems an odd cover?
“COVER ONLY. Bottom right corner damage; scuff at mailing label. Border creases.”

(06/24/2013) Marc spotted this pricey, but interesting brochure.
“Original part color catalog , 8.5 x 11 , 8 pages , has a small hole near the top border on all pages , shows and describes the custom Carcraft body for Willys CJ3A . Produced by Carson Machine Company , Oklahoma City , Oklahoma . This item is AutoLit Part #wt3764-WKSDCG.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
I’m unclear why the seller thinks this was in the Air Force. Looks like the driver’s side of the body has been patched and indents filled.
“this is a good old air force jeep mp this is a 1944 modle mb not a cj it was used for a guard jeep at an air force base so it had a machine gun mounted on it so the under carriage is built heavier than a Cj. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.

(08/16/2013) New paint would help this a great deal.
“I have been driving this Jeep around for the last couple of weeks. I hate to get rid of it. It runs and drives well. fairly new tires, lights work, floor starter works, 12v, bed is a little rough. Currently licensed and I drive it nearly every day. The price is firm.”

I found this jeep related article in a School Bulletin from 1968. Not a lot of information, but I thought it was interesting it was there in the first place. It documents a trip into the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in New Mexico.
