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 .

(06/28/2012) The more I looked at the paint job the more I kind of liked it. The steering column is installed pretty low. I imagine you’ll really have to squeeze to get into the driver’s seat.

Ann and I thank everyone for the congratulations and well wishes!! We have been busy cleaning up after the wedding and spending time with my kids, so my eWillys time has been a bit crunched. I’ve got a few updates below.
Here is a pic from the wedding. No, there weren’t any jeeps involved in the wedding, however I did receive an embroidered eWillys hat and Ann an embroidered eWillys purse, so those will make an appearance on here soon.
The wedding was fun. Moments before the ceremony started my parents’ dog Jill realized that there were dogs just across the fence from her, causing her to start a major barking and growling episode. I had to jump into the surrounding bushes and chase her away. That even was quickly followed by a young child throwing up. The parent grabbed the child and rushed to the bathroom. Part way through the crowd, the child threw up again, causing guests to dodge digested matter. What fun would a wedding be without kids and dogs . . .

“1952 M151-Style Army Jeep (tags say M38A1). 4-wheel independent suspension. Body rough. Extra motor & transmission. Bill of Sale & Inspection Certificate ONLY. $1,500.00 OBO.”

(07/24/2012) Except for the giant hole in the dash, this looks pretty good for the price.

Colin forwarded this wonderful cover from the December 1947 issue of Unity Magazine, a Willys Overland Magazine.
Coling writes, “The cover shows a small girl, actually the daughter of the magazine editor, holding an Al-Toy Jeep truck and just below it, the box it came in. The Jeep truck was to the best of our knowledge, the Christmas toy for the Willys VIPs and high volume dealers for 1947.”
Here’s an unusual truck used by United Air Lines.

Here’s a version of this truck from a different angle
UPDATE: Sold to an eWillys reader.
This looks like a solid, stock CJ-3B.
“This 1961 Willys Jeep has the following features;
• 27,000 miles – Low, Low Miles
• 4 Wheel Drive
• Warren Hubs
• All Stock
• Tall Hood (OHV)
This great jeep was owned by a local Ford dealer for hunting at his Tahoe cabin.”
This appears to be a solid jeep.
“1946 Willys
23,936 Miles
Runs great, shifts great, 4WD and 4WD Low gears work great.
Current License in California.
This is what I know. Willys built this model Jeep for the Military only from 1942 to 1945. Then in 1946 Willys offered this model to the public. However very few were sold because there was a glutton of Jeeps available through Military auctions.
Was this a Military or Civilian ? I don’t know.
This Jeep has spent almost all of its life on a ranch on San Diego County.
I just purchased a brand new fuel gauge that needs to be hooked up.
The only thing this jeep needs is a passenger side seat frame to match the drivers side.
And maybe a straight front bumper.
The value of these Jeeps are all over the place. This is no show car but it may very well be the best running and most reliable Jeep around. . . .”

The seller thinks that’s a 3B windshield, but clearly it is a low hood windshield.
“Fairly original Willys for sale, except for wheels and windshield. Has an aftermarket 3B stainless steel windshield. Has the original flat head four cyclinder that runs just fine. Has a tow bar that works great if you want to pull it out with your truck or motor home, she tows great. I drive her daily to work in the summer, but top speed is about 45 and I take the back roads.
I do also have an original metal top for a 3B that has never been put on, its in restorable shape.”

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was available for $5000.
