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 .
No description provided. If it runs, it is certainly worth a look.

“Two CJ2A bodies. One with engine and transmission. Not sure if motor is good or not. Will not turn over. But might be because transmission is stuck in gear and can’t get it out. The other is mostly just axles frame and body. Has been stripped of parts. Someone could make something out of the two. Or just build something off the body and frames. Asking 300 each. Will sell separate but would prefer to let them go as a pair.”
Who wants to see just what’s under those side panels?

“Runs! Drives!! Stops!!! 4,000 obo Please read full ad! this Jeep comes with the yellow set of tires and rims you see in some of the pics not the full set of 5 red original tires and rims. Those are some of the extra parts available.  This is a cool Jeep it has lots of things done to it. I bought it not running and got it running and drives a few weeks ago.

This April 30, 1957, article highlights the speedy service it’s red-themed jeeps and other delivery vehicles make possible. Attempts to learn more about this shop were unsuccessful, as there is a singer from the region named Wheeler Walker, so his stuff dominates the search returns.
UPDATE: This sold on eBay Sunday night for $57.01 Plus $8.50 shipping. It had some damage in the tail gate area.

Not a jeep; just ad odd vehicle. It just struck me as odd. Maybe it’s wide enough to haul a jeep inside? It’s built to carry cargo.

“1966 Willys Jeep CJ6 Clean title Buick v6 New Headman headers and turbo mufflers 3 speed Cooling and charging systems work great Headlights work Have to crank it over a bit to get fuel in the carb, but the new fuel pump will be here on 7/5 No rot, the salt has spared this one Right rear quarter is riveted on Floor panels are missing Has new brakes, master, drums, cyl Block has jb weld patch but no leaks -Distributor clicks, sounds like upper end but if you put your hand on the distributor you can tell that’s where it’s coming from. Once warmed up there is a tick coming from somewhere lower but actually runs pretty decent. No problems spinning tires, one wheel burnout champion. Tires are a little stiff. If your looking for a show jeep id move along, this isn’t the droid your looking for. We use it to run around the farm and cruise. It’s not scared of beer cans and being a cj6 it holds even more. Just clearing out the barn and have to many projects. Trade for 3/4 wheeler”

In his pursuit of CJ-5 Farm Jeep information, Barry shared the story of two CJ-5s jeeps used with a hay bailer out of California. The post includes many stills and a some youtube video from the jeeps in action.

Hell’s Half Acre Marker, Hell’s Half Acre, Wyoming … this photo was posted to the Historical Market Database, which I didn’t know existed.
The following two Polaroid photos show a CJ-6 available for a jeep tour of Hell’s Half Acre in Wyoming. The tour was located at Hell’s Half Acre’s post office, which opened in 1940. This page contains a photo of the post office from 1947; souvenirs were available, but no jeep tours at that time. The post office appears to have been leveled sometime in the 1990s or later.

UPDATE: A newspaper article from May 20, 1950, published in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, provides more information about the jeep-driving circus chimp named Nero. He passed away later in the year.

You can view some additional pictures at Jalopy Journal (scroll part way down the page). The quality seems good enough that they may be from Life Magazine, but I tried, but failed to locate their original source. Here is one of the images.
On December 13, 1950, several newspapers announced that Nero had passed away. Here’s an article from the Southern Illinoisan:
