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 .

Gerald forwarded some pics from Friday at the Bantam Festival.
Gerald wrote, “Well we got things started this year. I worked on setting up a Jeeps Thru The Decades display. one of each Jeep model. My 3B and brothers M-38 in in the group. Here are a couple shots from the grounds. The Underground Jeep guys have brought all their stuff. Boy they are nice and the Jeep Invasion on Main street was this evening. It was a show not a parade.”
Here’s Gerald with his kids in front of a wagon. He wants to get one someday.
Here’s the crowd in town:

Robin spotted this one. It is listed as a “Jeep 2A”, so I suspect that’s 2A body on it.

This appears worth a look.
“I have for sale a 1958 Willys Jeep FC 170 Forward Control 3/4 ton pickup with a 9 foot bed. Very cool old 4 x 4! This would be a one of a kind truck once you got her done! That’s the good news. The bad news is, it needs quite a bit of work. I was told by the previous owner that the engine had just been rebuilt and then reinstalled but that’s where the project was abandoned. I have not had the time to mess with it so it has not been running since I’ve had it. It appears to be all original and mostly complete as well but it will need a new back window and one of the sides which I was quoted about $150 for the pair. I do have one replacement door glass and several other small unique parts that will go with it. It does roll so no problem to load it. I do have a clear title on the way from the DMV so there won’t be any paperwork issues. Come check it out! I am also a gun dealer so I’ll accept fireams in trade as well as tools, old cars, parts, or other cool stuff. ”

“WWII body on a 1950’s frame. engine runs (ran) two years ago. I will entertain all offers as I am sure some will entertain me. 383-2025
will try to post some pics latter.”
Some assembly required.
“Up for sale is my 1943 ford gpw army jeep. I got it from a friend about 3 years ago, but haven’t done anything with it, so it needs to go to a new home. He had started restoration on it, but had stopped due to other interests.It is partially disassembled and would need a full restoration. The body was sandblasted and the metal is nice. You would look for quite some time to find sheetmetal on a gpw as solid as this one is.The engine block and head are marked gpw., and most of the sheetmetal parts are marked “F”. The engine turns over, and before I bought it i pulled the head to see what condition the motor was in. The cylinder walls were good with little wear. Most of the parts are there. The price is $5000 cash, or I would be willing to trade for a 1930-31 model a ford coupe in comparable condition. No lowballers or tire kickers please as I know what the gpw’s are going for right now. If it was an mb it would be worth a third less. If interested call (806)372-9033. And as always local pickup and cash only!”

Here’s a rare letter that advertises woodie kits from Station Wagons, Inc, for CJ-2A and MB/GPW models. This 2 page letter shows both a full and a half cab. Below the two page letter is an example of an ad that appeared in Popular Mechanics.
Popular Mechanics Ad from the January 1948 issue of Popular Mechanics, pg 266. This ad appeared in the February 1948 issue as well. I haven’t done a full accounting to determine how many other issues had the ad.
