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 .
UPDATE: The seller needs to sell just one jeep.

An article from February 10, 1967, in the Fort Myers’ News Press highlighted the creation of a Fruit Harvester by local inventor Robert Wehr. The device could be mounted to a variety of vehicles, but in this case is pictured mounted on a CJ-5. I was unable to find another other articles about this invention.
Here’s in the related patent: https://patents.google.com/patent/US3413786
This photo from the Denver Museum of Nature & Science shows Denver’s female Marine Reservists piled onto an M-38. The women were in their second week of training in San Diego.

“I have a bunch of Willys and Kaiser era Jeep parts. Some of this will work on later AMC era CJs too, but do not assume they will. Many things changed from 71 to 72 and then even more from 75 to 76. I have frames and tubs and axles and transmissions and cases and a bunch of other small parts. Email me and lemme know what you need.
I also have complete 46, 47, and 48 CJ2As. All are for sale. I have tons of random other parts as well – frames, axles, etc. Plenty to kick start a good project.”
Listed as a 1947, this militarized CJ-2A may be a 1946 VEC.

UPDATE: Nate pulled the head off and freed up the two stuck exhaust valves. It now runs great! Also replaced the water pump that started leaking.
(05/04/2021) Nate’s selling this pieced together CJ-5 Tux Park.
http://www.earlycj5.com/xf_cj5/index.php?threads/1965-tuxedo-park-mark-iv.147547/
“Selling this tuxedo park I pieced together from several different jeeps. All of the jeeps I used had issues. One had a bad frame, but good engine and transmission, one had a good frame with a title and the other had a decent body. Yes, it does have title with vin tag and jeep trim tag attached to the blue cowl in the pics.
Comes with a bunch of spare parts, including another junk windshield frame with a good glass, chrome windshield latches and chrome hinges, chrome tail gate hinges and a column shift T90. Has tuxedo park 10″ brakes and small yoke front driveshaft. Some column shift linkage is still on the column. Blue hood has chrome hood hinges as well. Jeep runs and drives, but it has a stuck exhaust valve. Blue cowl also has a column shift dash. I have 4 extra wheels that go with it, so there will be seven wheels that match. The white one is some sort of oddball thing. The matching ones are correct for a tux park. The only coolant leak I see is from the water pump. Asking $5000 or best offer. I can deliver to the Great Willys picnic in June.”
Looks like a good start for a Jeepster project.

“1st thing look up the zip code so you know where the item is located. If your not willing to come and get it or have someone haul it then please do not bother to proceed any farther. I can haul it but 1/2 down before moving and 1/2 down of haul fee.
From best i can find this is around a 1949 CJ-3, the motor, a overhead valve cylinder engine, we put in years ago but then just forgot about working on it. The tub is loose, the fender is off, one is missing. What you see in the pics is what you get, it is a project without a title. The jeep has the vin tag on the tub but is hard to read.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
Looks in good shape. Has an OD and PTO winch.
“CJ3B 1962 Jeep from southwestern US. Repowered with small V8. 3 speed with Warn overdrive.”
This video was part of the press release information by Ford that introduced the new Ford GP. We’ve seen much of this footage previously.
“This black and white 1941 demonstration film, produced by Ford Motion Picture Laboratories and narrated by Michigan sportscaster Harry Wismer, shows U.S. Army Truck, ¼ ton 4×4 Command Reconnaissance vehicles in action at and around the Ford River Rouge Complex in Dearborn, Michigan (TRT 0:23).
Opening titles (0:07). Dedication: “This film is respectfully dedicated to the officers and men of the United States Army in the name of American Industry…” (0:27).
A trio of Ford 4×4 Reconnaissance Cars or GPW “Jeeps” exit a Ford River Rouge Plant garage in single file. Edsel Ford, president of the Ford Motor Company delivers the initial order of 1,500 U.S. Army cars to then-Brigadier General Charles H. Bonesteel III, speaking into a WXYZ radio microphone (0:45).

Our old Pasco house hit the market Wednesday afternoon. By 4:00pm yesterday there were four good offers, two of which were $20k over the asking price ($379,000). My Mother-In-Law accepted the best offer ($26k over the asking price with no inspection required) last night. It’s just another reminder that it’s a red-hot market out there for sellers!
With that step done, we are closer to regular updates returning.
My son and his gf are in town this weekend, so updates will be scarce, but things ought to return to normal next week (I know, I said that last week, lol).
The most of this video shares some great footage of a weasel, with the footage alternating between stringing telephone lines and zipping along flooded roads. It feels like the kind of story Ernie Pyle would write about. A jeep appears briefly near the middle of the video.
“Saar,Germany.
Clapper board: “3rd Army, 26th Division. ‘Weasel’ lays wire in flooded Saar valley. Camera: Lt. Elk, Feb. 9th 1945”.
Various shots three American soldiers driving around flooded area in jeep with caterpillar wheels (“Weasel”). A roll of telegraph wire hangs off back off vehicle, GI ties end of wire to tree, vehicle drives off leaving trail of telegraph wire. Various C/Us GIs stripping ends of wire to attach to tree.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,000.
Looks solid.
“I’m selling my wheel willy 1947 total Restoration rom and driving good no problem”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
(01/05/2021) This was listed on eBay back in 2016. It looks like it was a convertible DJ-3A at one point (there’s no documents to suggest there was a “special edition DJ3” or special edition DJ-3A), but the column shift has been removed and 4WD has been added. The original convertible windshield has been replaced with a CJ-3B windshield.
“The Willy’s runs and drives. It is in good condition. New brakes lines, distributor,starter, carburetor, hood, shocks, the muffler and more. This Willy is special edition DJ3. Only a few were built. It can be recognized by the location of the gas tank. It has clean title.”
