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 .

Bob forwarded me this image. We both felt the top looked more designed for GP, Bantam or Quad than for a MB/GPW.
Bob writes, “A woman at work gave me a small print today. Said it was in her aunt’s stuff when she died. It was taken around 1947. Looks like an MB sporting it’s combat wheels. It was her boyfriend who drove the jeep. He was int he Navy at the time, but I don’t know if it was his Jeep or the Navy’s. I think the top is pretty cool”
Gerald forwarded this story of the Jeeper Vineyards, the full text of which is on Autoblog. The story is from spring 2011.
“To help commemorate the 60th anniversary of Jeep, vineyard Jeeper has teamed up with Delta 4×4, a company well-known in Europe for aftermarket wheels, tires and other offroad accessories, to produce a limited-edition champagne.”
Visit the Jeeper Champagne website here.
A reader had a few specific questions about the Tuxedo Park Mark IV Page related to a jeep he’s considering buying, but needs to know the following:
1. The CJ-5 is missing the chrome rear bumper. Was the rear bumper also used on any other models? How hard is it to find a replacement.
2. The column shift assembly is missing and it is the stock three speed. Where these the same ones used on the DJ or Surrey or any other models?
3. Did all Mark IV Pages have a V6 and the Emblem on the side as shown below (from the early CJ-5 Page)?
If anyone has the answers offhand, that would be great.
UPDATE: Was $3500. **SOLD**

“1964 jeep model fc170 complete except for engine. set up for smallblock chevy. save it from the scrapyard.”
I look at this jeep and only one thought comes to mind: Banana.
“1948 Willys – I bought this vehicle with my son in 97 as a restoration project and its taken several years and a bunch of money to complete. We have both moved on to different projects and just don’t need it anymore. It was taken down to the frame and completely restored from there up. Sandblasted and painted, motor, transmission, transfer case, carburetor, radiator and differentials professionally rebuilt. New lift springs, shocks and exhaust system. The only real problem is that the tub was not repairable and we had to buy a aftermarket tub to complete the project. The motor, front grill, windshield, frame and all the drive train are original. It has 432 miles on the rebuilt motor and runs like new. As far as the 4 wheel drive this thing will go anywhere you have the guts to take it. I hate to see it go but hope the new buyer enjoys it as much as we have. Good Luck Bidding!”
UPDATE: **Sold**. Price was $5700.
“1948 Willys Farm Jeep “Universal Jeep”
Model: CJ2A
Mileage: 24,150
Color: LUZON RED
Monroe Hydraulic Three Point Hitch

Front Counter Weight
Clean Ohio Title
I started disassembling mostly the front end of the Jeep, and have
documented the parts and stored in marked containers. I found this Jeep in a
barn with a concrete floor, stored for unknown decades.
The first picture shows the Jeep at the barn where found, I have 210 digital
pictures of the Jeep to send on a CD to interested buyers documenting its
condition and current state. All pictures are labeled for easy viewing.
Contact me ASAP to get your CD before it sells.
When I brought the Jeep home last year, it was put in a heated barn and I
started to soak the cylinders with Mystery Marvel Oil. I put the oil
directly into the cylinders as well as through the throat of the carburetor,
cycled the engine by hand for over two months off and on. The Motor WAS
NEVER STUCK, turned free by hand.
After replacing the spark plugs and the points, the motor fired up easily,
only putting gas in the throat of the carburetor. The engine ran smooth, no
noises or hick-ups. Oil pressure came up right after the engine started. The
engine has only been run twice for a very short period because I have not
put water or anti-freeze in. When I took the radiator cap off, it still had
pressure in the system, but no visible fluid. Total run time is about 1
minute, just enough to check oil pressure and hear the condition of the
motor.
The jeep has not been put in gear, rolls easily, no other electronics,
hydraulics, etc., have been tested at this point.
From disassembling the front of the Jeep, I have found that almost all the
bolts, nuts and screws come out with very little effort, not rusted tight.
I have purchased new parts for the jeep including new oil, temp, amp and
fuel gauges, fuel pump, fuel sending unit, air cleaner hose, points, cap,
rotor condenser, starter solenoid, and 6 volt battery. I used a new over the
counter generic oil gauge when starting the motor. I also purchased a new
over the counter generic water temp gauge to use while working on the jeep.
Two oil lines were installed to the oil filter canister to start engine and
a new oil filter was installed. I did not want to get the new Jeep gauges
damaged/scratched while working.
I also have the Parts and Service Catalog, with advertising pieces, dealer
advertising, Farm Jeep DVD, etc., for displaying at farm and car shows to
educate the public.
If you are not familiar with these jeeps, they are hard to find complete and
draw a lot of attention at shows.
What I know is missing: Top bar for the three point hitch, and the Governor,
it does have the double pulley on the front of the motor.
The front bumper is damaged, see picture.
The tailgate was installed at the manufacturer, taken off at the dealer to
install Monroe Three Point Hitch, tailgate has never been used.
When you look at the detailed pictures that will be sent by request, I used
80 Grit DA sandpaper to start to see the condition of some of the parts,
the rust showing is primarily pin holes that came through the paint and then
spread on top of the paint, overall the metal body etc, in great condition
for restoration.”
