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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .
I don’t know anything about this style of hardtop.
“Full fiberglass hard top for a 1955-1975 round top Jeep CJ5 or M38A1. Is in really good condition. Only part that isn’t good is the rear window is cracked (as pictured) but could easily be fixed with plexiglas. Great addition to any CJ or M38A1.”

Just a few updates tonight….
I drove up to Sandpoint, Idaho, today to meet with the McKay brothers, aka Minnesota Chris and Idaho Todd. I had a great time with them last year and was looking forward to another visit.
I once again met them at Todd’s business, Big Lake Recreation. We went to lunch (a delicious burrito at Joel’s), then went to see Todd’s newest Tux. In the picture below, you can’t see them, but those two guys are under the blue Tux discussing some finer points of PTOs. I’m pretty sure they forgot all about me. Or maybe I was supposed to join them?
About that time I remembered I hadn’t been taking pictures, so I took the one below. Then, I too fell under the jeep spell and managed to forget taking another photo over the remainder of our time together. Though I didn’t get any more photos, I did get some good parts from Chris. So, thanks go to Todd and Chris for the great afternoon!
Speaking of Chris, he’ll be heading East to Minnesota in a few days. If you need anything transported, contact him at nscustoms@hotmail.com or through his Vintage Willys Parts Page on Facebook and maybe he can help you.
Update **sold**
“I got this original fire jeep from VT. It’s all original with correct mb engine and 6v accessories including sparton horn! Needs restoration, but a good starting point. Engine should run, I need to tune it up.”
Here’s a neat photo that includes VEC CJ-2As on the assembly line.
“This is an original press photo. The peacetime version of the Jeep is in volume production at the Willys-Overland plant here. Shown is a sub-assembly line where bodies get finishing touches.

Leigh shared this one. It is a postcard of a Willys Truck with the CFA (Country Fire Authority – Victoria, Australia), one of a series of historic fire appliances with the CFA.
