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 .

“This Jeep would be such a fun restoration, I bought it just over a year ago to do so but have to relocate for my job and the van can’t go with me:(
The information I have researched on this Jeep is to the best of my knowledge, and not guaranteed.
This is a 1965 Kaiser/ Jeep FJ-3 Fleet van (compact van)
manufactured by Willys motors & Kaiser Jeep
assembled in Toledo, Ohio
I believe the motor is the original F4-134 hurricane engine
odometer reads 52,474
the motor turns over but does not run right
this vehicle needs a full over haul from what I know it has been sitting for many years, I was told it was originally a mail van. ”

I can’t tell if there is much rust or not.

Leslie forwarded this story from the New York Times. In 2010 Mount Merapi in central Java, Indonesia, erupted killing 300 people. Following the eruption, visitors arrived to check out the damage. An enterprising man named Christian Ignasius bought a CJ-2A to provide tours of the area. That little operation has grown into enough jeeps and guides to serve one thousand tourists a month.
Here’s the article at the New York Times
I also found some great pics. These two are form the this website.
This image is from an online new article:
I found this picture of the volcano and a jeep on Flickr:
While looking for something else I ran across this Sedan-modified jeep at Bangshift. According to the article, someone combined a Renault 4L with a MB or GPW. I can’t find any clues as to which jeep was used.
This school project about the closing of the Walter P. Chrysler Museum was forwarded by Brian. There’s a really good shot of the WWII jeep exhibit.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000
Looks like a nice rig.

This is a project. Note the combat rims.
“I have a 1943 Ford GPW Jeep. Just like a Willys MB but built by Ford. Original with all its correct Ford stamped parts. Correct seats, handles, brackets everything. Way too much to list. Has 5 restored Combat wheels with new tires included. Boxes and boxes of parts and spares. Numbers matching frame and data plate. Non matching but correct GPW motor currently apart for rebuild. Has later willys motor too. Decent body with a little rust and a hole cut for a 2a gas tank. Have correct gas tank now. Lots of parts have been collected for this restoration. Good frame. Rolling chassis with body still mounted. Nearly $2000 spent on wheels and tires already, just to give you an idea this in not a pile of junk.”
