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 .

I’m not sure any of this was ever military, but I could see that being handy for someone.
“Enclosed military jeep trailer. Removable sides and back, good for small business, instruments, flea market and craft items, camping or hunting dogs. 15 inch wheels, 2 inch ball. 4 X 6 with shelves in the front 9” deep.”
We’d like to welcome a new addition to our family: a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee from Lithia Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Tricities in Kennewick.
After much discussion and the knowledge we’ll driving over 8,000 miles in the next four months, Ann and I decided we needed a different vehicle. Both my 15 year old BMW 540i and her 2008 Ford Mustang stretch at the seems when packed with camping equipment. Both fear the snow, quivering at the mere sight of slush. Both have V8s that cherish frequent stops at gas stations. And neither vehicle cares to leave the pavement for terra firma when nature heralds us.
To overcome those issues, we began shopping two weeks ago for a different vehicle, preferably an SUV. Ann took the lead, plowing through consumer reports, dissecting cargo space, comparing engines, and analyzing gas mileage. Satisfied with her research, late last week she selected several models for us to test drive, including the Jeep. Of course, it would be natural for me to want a jeep, but I tried very hard to be neutral about it, to decide on the merits and not the brand.
We started with a 2012 Ford Explorer. It looked good. Smelled fine. Was a nice color. However, thirty seconds into the test drive, I flicked the blinker, only to have it flick back at me. The blinker acted strange. After failing to understand what I was doing wrong, the sales guy told me it was the new style. All you had to do was press down on it (or pull up) to turn it on and press down on it (or pull on it) to turn it off. He said all the Mercedes had them. I responded, “no offense, but if I wanted my blinkers to act differently, I’d buy a Mercedes”.
Normally a patient and semi-sane person, this trivial little detail instantly turned me off the vehicle. I didn’t want to out think my blinker. I have other important things to think about, such as staying in between the lines while driving, what to post on eWillys, and how to keep my wife happy while continuing this quixotic jeep adventure of ours. Believe me, that keeps my mind plenty busy!
We moved on to test drive several other vehicles, including the Toyota Highlander, the Chevrolet Traverse, the Dodge Durango, and the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Rather than bore you with trivial details of each drive, I will tell you why we chose the JGC. 1) We got the most for the best price (off road capabilities, tow package and low mileage), 2) Our consumer report research showed jeep owners were extremely happy with their JGCs, and 3) It was a jeep and since our lives are tied up with jeeps, it just made sense.
So, special thanks to Stephen Huang, Travis Solso and the rest of the folks at Lithia Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Tricities, who not only patiently endured our questions and concerns, but also bought some of my books. Because of the great interest rate and the trade in on Ann’s Mustang — they didn’t want my old car 🙁 — our monthly payments dropped $100, which means we are actually saving money monthly by doing the deal. Even better, our insurance is less. So it’s a multiple win for us!
So, this car ought to get us across the country and back safely. In addition, If the timing works out, we’ll also be participating in Lithia’s upcoming Jeep Days this summer.
(BTW . . . don’t tell Biscuit!)
It’s the man in the photo that makes it most interesting. This seller has more jeep photos he is selling.
“This is an “ORIGINAL PERIOD GLOSSY PHOTO BY U.S. AIR FORCE” of JEEP INSPECTOR SGT. ELMER BANKE WHO WAS THE FIRST MAN TO BE SELECTED FOR THE PEACE-TIME DRAFT IN 1940, photo date -1947. The condition is very good and measures 8″ x 10″. I will be listing more Military Vehicle photos in the weeks to come if you are interested.”

These fuel tanks could be pulled by jeeps and other vehicles.
“This is an original vintage 1943 magazine advertisement by Fletcher Aviation Corp. (Pasadena, California) titled
“New Fletcher Jeep Tanks … give gasoline service on the double!”
with 2 WWII era photos.
The ad measures approximately 7 3/4″ x 11 1/4″, is in excellent condition, and can easily be matted & framed.”
This RPPC or Real Photo Postcard was taken near Atlanta, Idaho. Though I wanted to check out Atlanta, I never made it while I lived in Idaho. It’s lodged in the remote hills north east of Boise. Founded in 1855, it still has a post office. It seems it had some other claim to fame, but that bit of trivia escapes me at the moment. You can learn more here.

So far, so good. Plenty of work left.
“Too many projects, not enough years to complete. I am thinning down current projects from five to just two. NOTE..THIS IS A RESTORATION PROJECT!!! June 1957 built Willys 4WD sold and titled in NC in 1958. Excellent sheet metal. L-226 inline six rebuilt.T-90 transmission rebuilt. Correct date code radiator, generator, starter, fuel pump, carb.New clutch pac, engine and trans mounts. Five correct rims. Hood is ready to wet sand and paint, doors are 50% complete to spray, front fenders as well. Rear fenders are not yet started–see photo. All drive shafts are out of truck, brakes not yet complete. This is a project I bought from a fellow who had started but was forced to sell after having had the engine and transmission rebuilt. Truck had a twin cylinder dump bed installed on it. THERE IS NO BED WITH IT NOW. Cab, fenders, doors, grill and hood are in outstanding condition. Dump bed parts are on hand if you want them with the truck. Look over photos and ask any questions of me. TRUCK IS FOR SALE and I will take a big loss. Its your gain. I just have too many projects and at my age I must let several go.”
UPDATE: Was $7600. **Status Unknown**
(08/28/2012) This has the expanded windshield mod. There looks like some nice cage work done, too. I’ll bet this was a Fresno area jeep at one point.

(02/07/2013) Philip found this on eWillys, restored it, and is ready to sell it. Looks great!
“1951 Willys CJ3A (Jeep)
Complete frame up restoration. The body is all metal, not one bondo repair. All Original driveline with a 12v conversion. Runs between 10 and 30 psi hot and cold (see photo). Everything works, electrical, gauges, 4wd, etc. It is wired for turn signals, but turn signal hardware and bulbs are not installed. Beechwood canvas seats. Runs like it would have 60 years ago. It will go anywhere. It just won’t go anywhere fast. Add an overdrive if you want to go faster than 45 mph.
I kept it as original as I could. I only added a 1″ Superlift suspension lift and 1/2″ shackle lift as well as 31×9.50 Super Swampers, a CJ5 rollbar and a 12,000 lb electric winch.
Titled and Registered in my name (Tennessee).
$8500 OBO. May be interested in trades: 1928-1953 Fords with flathead V8, early ford parts, or maybe a solid CJ5, 7 or 8. But I won’t be adding any cash, straight up or your trade plus cash.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
“Selling my 1946 Jeep Willys CJ2A. Just bought it 4 months ago but now i moved to Seattle for work. All original running gear, stamped engine block, stamped hood, holds fluids, clear title. It has 2 rust spots that are not too bad at drain holes next to wheel wells as well as standard surface rust. Not running at the moment but all i need to do is pull the starter and clean the brushes then she will be running. Original owner had it on farm for hunting and stored in barn, sold to previous owner who’s wife had a child and had no time to fix it anymore (Held on to for 6 months), now i have it and cant keep it :(. I can have this delivered as far as Bellingham. Will sell for $1800 cash. I can arrange with my father if you would like to see the Jeep as it is being stored at their home.
The odd looking fender pieces are actually just steel that are welded to the front bumper and silicone on top of the originals. The original seats are taken out and the gas tank relocated and replaced with a 25 gallon aluminum tank. The last quark is that the tailgate is welded up to accommodate for the gas tank. This is a project car and would be great for anyone. Please contact me if you are interested. ”
It’s not perfect, but appears solid. It’s too bad a little more care wasn’t taken with the engine paint.

As it happens on the web, Art found a picture posted at the Jeep Wrangler Facebook Page and posted it on the Jeep Thing page. I saw the picture and wondered where it was taken, so I reposted it. Roberto had the answer, which leads us to a post about Jeep Village.
Opened in 1947, Jeep Village operates a shop just south of Paris in Chevilly Larue and another in the South of France at Aix en Provence. The sell vintage flatties and manufacture and sell parts. The resell MD Juan tubs as well.
You can read about them on Facebook Or visit their website
Here’s a picture floating around Facebook:
Here’s a picture from the Jeep Village’s Paris site:
This is the shop in Southern France:
Guy shared a video of someone who build a FJ-3A model using what you see below.

I never imagined someone would make soldier figurine soaps.
“This is a wonderful vintage children’s set, designed for little boys by the Helene Pessl Company. It is an Army Jeep with three figural soap soldiers. This set is from the 1940’s or 1950’s, as best I have been able to determine. The Soldiers fit into the bottom of the Jeep, and the Jeep slips into the outer box. It is in decent condition, showing some wear on the Jeep parts that fold, and appears to be missing a couple cardboard details from the Jeep. The soaps have never been used… it is being sold ‘as is’. The entire package measures 7 inches (17.5 cm) long by 3 inches (8 cm) wide and 3-1/2 inches (9 cm) tall.”
