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 .
TJ spotted this custom trailer. Will probably need some work. I’m not seeing any brake lights?
UPDATE: Still Available.
(08/02/2020) It’s listed as a 1945, but looks like a ’47 or ’48.

“I’m selling a 1945 Jeep willys for my dad. Its been sitting at his garage for a good 20 years in Side. Needs some work but would be a great project for someone who loves Jeeps. Has a flathead 4 cyld motor but it needs work idk whats wrong with it. Has had some body work done to it but never finished. Frame and floors are solid. Old military jeep.”
It probably ran when there were more parts, too. 🙂

“Cj3b. Ran when parked. Good windshield frame, hood, grill, and cowl. Make offer.”
This July 14, 1955, article from the Auburn Journal (Auburn, California) highlights the upcoming two day trip from Auburn, to Wentworth Springs and on to Lake Tahoe. It also includes a lists of some of the folks participating in the event. You’ll note there is no mention of it being a Jeep or Jeepers Jamboree.
Joel shared this late 1940s ad from the Maine Willys Sales Company of Augusta, Maine. Note the Willys Sign in the background with the early “J” logo. It appears that Maine’s State Foresty Department was an early enthusiast of the new jeep trucks. I was unable to locate the this ad using newspapers.com, so cannot date it at this time.
Here’s a rare lift-equipped CJ-5 with a rear PTO, Meyer hardtop and PTO winch.

(08/12/2016) Dan spotted this nice wagon out of Oregon.
“1959 Willys Jeep Wagon, 4WD, Everyday Driver, Original Drive Train, Warn Overdrive, Warn Automatic Hubs. I bought the Vehicle in 2000 in Vancouver, WA from it’s second owner. I restored/re-built it as an every-day driver in 2004. I’ve kept it in a garage since I restored it. The body, interior, engine, and drive train were done in local shops in the Portland Metro.
It comes with a few spare parts. I have a set of snow tires mounted on the same style rims that would be extra if you’re interested. The right front brake needs some TLC before you start driving it every day.
I’ve driven this fun wagon for 20 years, but now I’m looking for something new and different.”

The 2021 Holy Toledo! calendar is now in stock and ready for your holiday purchase. I don’t know about you, but the sooner 2020 is over the better! So, for me, this calendar is a welcome sign that 2021 is right around the corner.
Chris added this unique and undoubtable rare Turner Mower matchbook cover to his already extensive collection of jeep-related matchbook covers.

Though this photo of Billy Graham smiling in a jeep is undated, Billy Graham’s website indicates he arrived for his visit in 1952, then stayed over Christmas into 1953, as another photo of him in Korea is dated 1953. More Billy Graham Korean War pics can be viewed here.

UPDATE: Steve shared this link about a ‘Lady Jeep’ article written for the Heinz Center, which led me to Amazon. That listing included a date and magazine for this ad … the August 31, 1946, issue of the New Yorker. And, there’s a better pic on Amazon.
=====================
Originally published May 19, 2019: This ad was on google image search, though it was gone from the actual destination page to which Google directed me. So, I have no date or magazine name to identify when this ad was published. It treats the Army jeep as a tomboy and the wagon as a Lady.
John’s looking to replace the T-90 that’s in his 1970 CJ-5. He’d like it in reasonable shape and close to Northeast Iowa area. If you have one you’d like to sell, contact John at JOHN.BAMFORD @ fhr.com (remove the spaces around the @) or call 3195090235.

“1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep $4500 obo
Mechanical restoration 4 years ago. Requires constant adjustments and work. Is running crappy again. Starts but running extremely rich. Dies if you drive it. Could be from modern fuel gumming needle again, could be carb needs cleaned and adjusted again, could be something else. Maybe it’s got carb jet size issue from being set up for 5000 feet but now it’s at 100 feet above sea level. Who knows.
Original go devil motor. New radiator and brake system. Original. 4WD works good. Tranny is good. Maybe 300 miles put on it since motor rebuilt.
This jeep has been in my family it’s whole life. My dad bought it in 1956 in Kansas City from my great Uncle who bought after WW2. I inherited it in 2012 and paid for a mechanical restoration only 4 years ago. This thing requires care and adjustments just to keep it running and I’m done messing with it. It’s never been fully restored. It’s got rust. It’s got the back seat frame too. No cover.
NO DELIVERY. Drag it home.”
This workhorse truck comes equipped with a plow and a spreader.
