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 has a few updates, but looks solid.

This is a great price. There’s definitely value despite the rust and replaced floor boards.
“Old classic Willys Jeep for sale. Needs restoration. Does not not run currently. It will need to be rewired. Has two sets of wheels, soft top in ok shape, and original drivetrain. No time to complete the project so it has to go.”
These photographs were taken by Ron Day, who wrote articles about the races and has hundreds of additional photos. I’ve contacted him, thanked him for publishing the photos, and asked if he had any additional information he could share. Ron now lives in Alaska and continues to photograph. You can see his website here: http://rondayvous.com/
This is a link to his jeep photos: http://rondayvous.com/YakimaJeeps.html
Not all the vehicles were modified. Many 1970s racers were trail jeeps with winches and tow bars still attached, such as this drag racer.

Bill from Lime Street Carriage Works was enjoying himself today, lining up some jeeps and photographing them. You’ll note the FC-170 he scored recently.
Here’s a rarely seen WW2 poster with a jeep that Alex shared.
No description, but I think the picture says it all. Looks good.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
I’ve seen lots of WW2 jeeps being loaded, but not a CJ-3A.

This is very much a project still.

This runs and drives. The square-edged gas tank suggests this might be an early ’42.

It runs. According the Ad title this was used by the Navy; I wonder if it includes a Navy plate of some type.
“This is a mostly original military jeep. looks like a CJ-5. It runs. needs a little brake work to drive. Body is really rough. it would make a great resto project or drive as is. Or trick it out. great project jeep. comes with a tow bar.”
