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 .

Josh was in downtown Boise on Saturday morning with his son watching the holiday parade when two flatfenders appeared. He said they were both named “sidewinder” and both had 4 wheel steer with dual steering wheels. He said they were going a decent speed doing donuts or driving at an angle.
He snapped the picture below and then found a video of them. The jeeps show up at the 17 sec mark and then really show at the 44 sec mark. I’ll see if I can dig up some more info on these in the future.
The August 1941 issue of The Ford Dealer News includes this image of a Ford Pygmy. There are a variety of articles and other photos also.

“You are bidding on a 1943 Ford GPW Serial Number 95032 with a DOD of 2-1-1943. The jeep has matching frame and glovebox data plate. The motor is actually out of an amphibious Ford GPA jeep.
This jeep found it’s way to me a few years ago and came out of the Reno, NV area where it had sat in a hanger for the last 20-30 years. The jeep was incredibly intact and complete. Nearly all the hard to find parts were/are there including the original tandom tow bar, original f script rear seat, f script top bows, and a ton of the little stuff like the oil can bracket. Really it was kind of an unrestored barn find of a gem. Unfortunately it did not run, needed a couple of body repairs, and had a few extra coats of paint with the last coat not catalyzed properly leaving it with a cracked and gooey texture. So, it needed some work and paint . . .”
I like the box too.

Walter spotted this good looking truck.
“Rare truck right here, not fixed up real fancy, just a nice driver truck. It has a 283 power pack Chevy engine with 3speed manual transmission. It drives good & tight. Nice wheels & tires, the interior looks really nice, just a good ole truck.”
This needs the brakes examined. It could use a repaint, too. Looks solid otherwise.

“This is a totally restored rust free 1946 Willys CJ-2A that runs great and is a blast to drive. (Sorry about the pictures but it started to snow). This vehicle sat around in a dry parts depot in Texas for about 50 years before it was purchased and restored by a car dealer in Houston about 4 years ago. I’ve driven it about 900 miles since it was completed-the mileage on the odometer is correct. It has the original chassis, drivetrain, body, tub, and seat frames. As you can see from the pictures, there is no rust anywhere.
The original engine was replaced with a 4 cylinder Ford OHC Pinto Engine. Top speed now is somewhere just north of 50 mph-going downhill with a tail wind :). It has the original three speed transmission with overdrive which makes driving on city streets much easier. I replaced all of the gages with NOS models that all are functional. Also added a new battery, electronic ignition and trailer hitch. The 35″ Super Swamper Tires have less than 1,000 miles on them. Never used the Ramsey winch or had the vehicle off road. We keep it at our cottage in Norther Michigan and just use it to drive around the country roads and run errands . . . View more on eBay”
UPDATE: Was $3000. **Sold**

Glenn would like to learn more about this jeep. If anyone knows more about it or knows whose it is, can you let me know.
John took the time to scan the jeep related pictures from Bill Maudlin’s book “Up Front”. I’ve posted a couple below. You can see all of them on John’s Google Page. In 2010, the US Postal Service honored Bill with his own stamp.
You can find the book “Up Front” on Amazon
