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 .
David forwarded these images. He wrote, “Found some of my dads photos he took while stationed in Korea ……note the soldier standing outside the flatfender has a rifle pointed at the cameraman”
I especially like the photo of the kids leaning on the jeep. I can relate to doing that as a kid.
Alex forwarded me a variety of Joe Dope posters from WWII. I posted a couple several years ago, but didn’t realize how many others there were.
UPDATE: Was $6996. **SOLD**
“I have a 1949 Willys on a CJ5 frame. The engine is a rebuilt Chev 350 (balanced) with an RV cam. New Edlebrock carb. Jacobs ingnition system. 4 row aluminum radiator. Headers with turbo mufflers. T18 4-speed with Dana20 transfer case. Dana 30 front axle, AMC20 Rear Axle both have new 4:10 gears and equipped with ARB (Air) lockers. Front axle has disc brakes, rear axle drum brakes and also has full floating lock out hubs(real nice for towing). Power steering & power brakes. Hydraulic clutch. Has competition seats with harness. Roll bar. Recent soft top in excellent condition. CB radio, Kenwood cassette stereo. 18 gallon gas tank in back and a 10 gallon tank under the drivers seat. Tire & gas can rack on the back. Highlift jack mounted on the front. Total mileage on this rig since rebuild is under 500 miles. The CJ5 frame provides excellent stabilty while still being small enough overall to wind your way through the narrowest of trails. This rig successfully traveled several black diamond trails around the Gorman Area and easily climbed the sand dunes in Pismo Beach both in Califonia. Highway legal. I just don’t seem to use it enough and I hate to see it sit. Possible trade all or part depending on what you have. I’m interested in boats, 4 stroke outboards, marine/fishing stuff, maybe something along the lines of an older Honda accord type of car.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900
The outside looks good, but the interior is rough. Looks like someone is a Chargers fan.

“I have four 15 x 7 rims 5×5.5 pattern off of a Willys pickup.

Actually, for $300 there might be some good value if the engine spins.

(11/04/2011) It’s called a Jonco. I has a bobcat fiberglass hood. The desert scene on the back looks familiar, but I can’t quite place where I’ve seen it.
“Its named the Jonco, because its a 47 CJ3A on a 73 Bronco frame running
gear/frame, but has extended leaf springs both front and rear, 11″ brakes, 3.92 gear ratio, ford 9″ 4spider posi, lakewood scatter shield
over the clutch on the 3spd manual 289 ford big cam 4bbl Edelbrock torker
Full rollbar, 8k Warn winch, towbar, brake line lock.
It now has brand new, wheel cylinders, lines, brakes, drums,master cylinder.
We drained the fuel tank and installed new fuel line.
It was stored for years in a garage, the tires were rotted, we put on street tires to sell it. It used to have 12×15 large mud tires on the 10″ rims.
We have the clear title, this jeep used to race, its very strong, so its not for sale to any young drivers.”

Mark from sellajeep.com took a variety of pictures and a couple great videos from last month’s Great Willys Picnic. If you’ve never seen a working saw driven by a PTO, then check out his page:

Here’s a line up of some of the jeeps:
This truck has an neat paint job:

Jon forwarded this unusual brochure that I haven’t seen before. This is a Swedish brochure and not a Norwegian brochure.

With four combat rims and a body that doesn’t look too bad, this might be worth a look.
