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 .
John took these photos almost fifty years ago when he went to Vietnam between 10/1963-10/1964.
This first photo is from Khe Sahn:
Click on the photo and you’ll see a wagon on the right and, possibly, a CJ-3A on the left.
John calls these elephants the original 4x4s
I think this ‘4×4’ would have been the most practical for getting places quickly.
Marc found these photos at the Ukraine State Archive website.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This might be a good deal.

Blaine spotted this rare boat with a Willys motor.
“I found this beauty under a tree on my little old lady neighbor’s farm. COMPLETE, no parts missing, last running smooth in the water in 1998. Then her owner died, and his wife just pulled a tarp over her.
When I first saw this truck, I thought for sure it would have an updated motor.

“Up for sale is a 1962 Willys CJ3B. Barn Stored.
The truck is a friend’s fathers who put the truck away at least 25 years ago untouched in his spare barn. The truck had a piece of plywood and tarp over the roll bar to prevent anything from dripping or falling on top of it. He was also a mechanic.
It has been removed from the barn and is looking for a good home.
Ann and I had a ‘date night’ Tuesday night, so I didn’t get anything done.
Early Friday morning I plan to head for Portland where I’ll drop by the MVPA convention. I’ll spend a few hours there and then head north (via Herm’s place if he’s around — still have to call him). I’ll be in Seattle for at least a week. During the first week of August I’ll be dropping by the FC Event in Tacoma.
I’m half done tightening up the book (have dropped about twenty pages) and cleaned up bad transitions, dealt with a few logic problems, and fixed a variety of errors.
Marc found this photo of Santa I hadn’t seen.

I think I’ve only seen one other catalog. So these are pretty hard to find.
“19 Pages. Good condition.”
Here’s a neat combo that Steve spotted.
“1952 Military Jeep Trailer with Onan 5K Generator. This unit kept my house running for three weeks after Super Storm Sandy struck. Ran everything in my house. It struggled with the electric dryer. The generator is made to last forever. Electric start and even has a hand crank for an emergency. Large fuel tank was nice because it would run all day on one tank full and then all night on another tank full of gas. The trailer is solid with no rust. Tires are in good condition. I built a canopy to keep the rain and snow out and it is easily removed. There are multiple 110 outlets around the trailer and one 240/30 amp to connect to my house. There is also a circuit panel. The trailer was garage kept from 1952 to 2009. Contact Martin @ 908-50seven-054five.”
