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: Still Available.
(03/02/2019) Engine is locked. The drain hole on the passenger side has been filled, so this may have some body work.

“1960 Willy’s Jeep All Original miles Needs full Resoration 26,000 Original miles Motor Is Locked Up However Have A Original F Head Motor For It 3,500 with Motor 3,000 with Out Motor”
This does appear pretty original, though the body has multiple patches on the outside.

At some point (early 1950s?), Sears bought/connected with the Meyers Aircraft Company and began selling the Meyers hardtops under the Sears/Allstate/Montgomery Wards brands. So, it’s possible that this really is a Meyers hardtop, though it looks most like a Sears Deluxe Hardtop.

“This is a original Meyers aluminum top. Came off of a Willys Cj2a. With a set of aluminum doors. One door is missing the glass. Some digs and dents. Not perfect by any means.”
Travis shared this one. The color scheme of bright green an OD green isn’ making much sense to me. Perhaps more pics would help.

“Uncovered on property after purchasing 40-acre Ranch in Ash Fork Arizona. Needs to be restored. Collector item! One of the first Willys Jeeps made! Motor is all complete only issue with it is some wiring problems from sitting.”
Tomorrow is the Moonshiner’s Swap Meet at the Puyallup Fair Grounds in Puyallup, Washington.
TJ is there today (Saturday .. vendors get in early) and spotted what I believe to be Jim’s restored (by Willys America I think) Traveller. It’s a beaut! It looks to be located in the main hall, so if you are there, be sure to check it out.
Steve Bovee just contacted me about the upcoming 70th anniversary of the De Anza Jeep Cavalcade, aka Hemet-Borrego Jeep Cavalcade.
He writes, “Willys Jeeps and Flat Fenders Welcome … Next month will be the 70th anniversary of the De Anza Jeep Cavalcade aka Hemet-Borrego Jeep Cavalcade. Some 400 vehicles, mostly Willys Jeeps, went on this epic off-roading event April 2, 1949.
To celebrate the anniversary a few flat fenders will be getting together on April 6th and will be retracing the original route, as much as possible. There might be several starting points, but the main one will be in Hemet and as in the first run we will travel south through Battista Canyon, stop in Anza for a snack and photo shoot and then head out to Coyote Canyon. Coyote Canyon part of the trail is for the brave at heart and there is only one way in and one way out so I’m sure some of us will stop there.”
You can read more about the original Cavalcade in this July 1979 article from Desert Magazine (below), which can also be found on Archive.org.
This Collier’s cartoon ran in the July 31, 1943, issue of Collier’s Magazine, page 56.

A big thanks to Jim for finding this brochure in old box of files, then sending it my way gratis. It shows the EasyLok Hub, manufactured by the Mechanex Corp, a devision of Tenneco, out of Englewood, Colorado. You can learn a little more about the EasyLok hub’ s history in this post.
Mechanex Corp patented another hub in 1978, but I don’t recognize the hub.
I have no date yet on this ad from the Russell, Burdsall, & Ward Bolt and Nut company.
