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 .
Lots of custom work on this modified racer.

“1946 Willys CJ-2A. Bought this last year with hopes to use on my ranch with some tlc. It looks to be an older sbf conversion that wasn’t used much. Has 64 mustang motor and taillights. Has original drivetrain including a warn overdrive, 11” wagoner brakes, updated wiring harness. Body is solid with one rust spot that needs to be addressed. I purchased new stock seat frames, front and back, electric power steering and tilt column and new master not yet installed. Work I’ve done…installed new carb, pertronix ignition, new battery cables. This is a good project for someone take over. Had a recent injury and will not be able to work on for months so decided this project will have to go. Sorry No trades.Title is in my name on non op with no back fees. This will need to be towed which I may be able to help you with”

The hunt for Uranium during the late 1940s and into the 1950s in the American West was a big deal. It’s also the last great mineral rush with-in the continental United States. Uranium’s grand paradox, as author Tom Zoellner puts it, is that “[t]he stability of our world rests on a substance that is unstable at the core.”
So large was the hunt for Uranium, the May 23, 1955, issue of Life Magazine noted that more man-hours had been spent hunting for Uranium between 1952 and 1955 than were spent seeking all other metals in history, at least according to the Atomic Energy Commission. Having spent considerable time thumbing through decades of mine related information prior to the 1900s, I find this claim dubious, but maybe someone can explain how this could be?
Still, the uranium boom captivated the imagination of the public. Uranium Fever was written and sung by Eliot Britt in 1955 and included jeep references. This great site shows how the search affected popular magazines of the time. In the Life Magazine article referenced above (pg 26), the author included a list of ultimate gear for prospecting. At the very top of the list was a brand-new four-wheel jeep for only $1,685, along with equipment and a map of the best places to hunt:
This has an M-38 hood, among other updates.

Whether this originally had the images on it or not, someone had some fun giving this wagon a vintage theme. This looks to be a Parkway Conversion?

“This rare 1971 Jeep CJ-6 was purchased new and owned by a volunteer fire station. The mileage is not a typo…these are actual miles. It has the desirable Dauntless Odd-Fire 225 V-6 engine, T14 transmission and Dana 18 transfer case, along with the “unicorn” offset flanged Dana 44 rear axle used only in ’70 1/2-71 CJs. It also has a working Ramsey DC-9 8000-lb. winch (similar to a Warn 8270), which was installed new as a factory Jeep option (I can include some electronic documentation from Ramsey with the purchase).
The paint is all-original, so what you see is what you get (no hidden bondo/bodywork). It’s very solid for it’s age, with the exception of the rear cargo area. The fire station installed a water tank in the rear on top of a rubber mat. Over time, this rusted the floor underneath. The interim owner after the fire department installed a plywood rear floor section, fiberglassed it in, and then used bed liner in the cab. It presents decently, but I’d replace it with steel panels from Classic Enterprises were I keeping the Jeep. The front floor pans, hat channels, and passenger tool compartment floor are all very solid.
The list of *NEW* parts is long…new BDS 2 1/2″ suspension (springs/shocks) are great for the 31″ x 10.5″ tire size (Kelly Safari tires are in excellent condition); fresh alignment after the suspension install. New aluminized exhaust from the manifold back (with better ground clearance than OEM), including a new Borla stainless steel muffler. Full tune-up, including a professionally-rebuilt carb, new fuel pump, fuel filter, plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, points, and condenser. New rear wheel cylinders. New Bestop Tigertop. New spare tire carrier for the passenger side (not yet installed). A new Walck’s/Kaiser Willys front bumper replaced the extended fire station bumper (horrible approach angle, and HEAVY).
It runs nicely, and drives straight down the road; drives nicely, at least for a 52-year-old Jeep with manual steering & brakes. The 3.73 axle gearing allows for nice road cruising speeds vs. many of the lower-geared vintage Jeeps. There are still some minor wrap-up things to address…turn signals and wipers don’t yet work, and I’ve never tried the heater. I’d probably replace the fuel tank, as well (I almost installed a fuel cell, but didn’t want to lose the interior space). A new 19-gallon RCI fuel cell and Motobilt fuel cell mount is potentially negotiable with the deal.
This Jeep is a survivor, and turns a LOT of heads. It’s not perfect, but it’s a solid example of a rarer Jeep CJ model still sporting original body/paint, and has less original miles than most of the population puts on a vehicle in a 6-month timeframe. We have owned several rare/unique Jeeps, and this one ranks right up there!”
