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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .

“Must sell this week! Make offer. You will not find another Willys like this. MUCH more into this rig than the asking price. see for yourself.
1956 willys 2 wheel drive harley davidson rod truck. Very fun. This pickup started out a 4 wheel drive, but has been changed to 2 wheel drive by switching to a 1954 willys 2 wheel drive pickup complete front end. Has new orig. front brakes and wheel clyinders, new master clyinder.
The rear end is a 1986 Ford F150 8.8 with 3.55 posi. with rear stabilizer bar, all nicely fitted to orig. willys rear springs, has nice aluim. drive shaft. Engine and tranny are out of 1989 HO mustang GT, so its a 5.0, five speed. The 5.0 or 302 ford V8 is all rebuilt, its a roller cam roller and rocker very high performance, mean sounding engine, it has new high compression TRW forged domed pistons and plasma rings. Comp. cams 294 roller cam and comp cams triple valve springs. Trickflow hardened push rods. Heads are 1969 351 windsor completely rebuilt and ported, fitted with 194 stainless manley intakes and 160 exhaust valves. Has a 2 four barrel edelbrock set up, also running a windage tray and racing oil pan.
This engine is all new and runs, drives, and sounds great, with headers and flows that dump below orig. willys running boards. Has all new clutch kit, new alum. radiator with elect. fan, runs nice and cool. Has been rewired with a painless wire set up, 12 volt, and has new one wire 110 amp alternator and new battery. Cab is all finished inside with nice black headline & carpet, ford mustang bucket seats, done with harley davidson covers.
Harley theme inside and out. Body and paint are left undone for a rough image, but in good shape if someone wanted to restore it, but most people like it the way it is. It has a lot of character and gets a lot of attention.”
UPDATE: Oops .. forgot the ‘http://’ on the front of the WAAAM Link. Thanks for pointing that out Bill. It works now.
Travelling tonight. Updates tomorrow (tuesday) including a report on our visit to the WAAAM.
Here’s pic from the WAAAM. I’m also tentatively scheduled to be back at the WAAAM during the second weekend of May for a book signing.
Here’s us at Washington State’s “Stonehenge” around noon on Monday. That’s the Columbia River in the background.
From the postcardcollectors website comes this car.
According to the website, “This card is about the Giant Ocotillo Cactus that “grow profusely in the Southern California and Arizona Deserts.” It is a “Union Pacific Railroad Color Photo” but doesn’t seem to be a Union Pacific card.”
I never thought of an Autoshow as a good place for kids, but apparently in 2006 DaimlerChrysler was all prepared for them.

“Kids had the opportunity to drive battery-powered mini Jeep Wranglers around a circular track on the show floor, situated next to the full-size vehicle driving courses in the DaimlerChrysler exhibit.”
I had one of these that towed with a string all over the place.
“This is a vintage Tonka DUNE BUGGY WILLY’S CJ-2 style JEEP. This is a nicely engineered rig that has been lifted and has the large Tonka off road tires added.

There are two of these image for sale on eBay.
“Black & White glossy is about 8″X10″. Easter Bunny from 1948 in Pennsylvania at Lazarus Department store in a Willys Jeep”
This appears solid.
“This Jeep is awesome. I bought it from a military man who had the engine rebuilt and took great car of it, he used it in parades. It was titled in GA as a 1947 and when I bought it the SC title was left as a 1947. His son, who I bought it from said it was a ’52 and was used in the Korean War and from all indications this seems to be accurate, as this is not a Civilian Jeep. The actual mileage is unknown, but not many miles have driven since the engine rebuild. Shifts and drives great. I mean really great. It’s like a dream to be in it.
I had just had the entire brake system replaced, down to the hoses to make sure the next owner can feel confident in their safety. It was also had a tune up, new battery and runs awesome. Just got it back and put about $1,600 into it, so please bid with confidence
This Jeep owns the road, you can drive it and smile, as it feels amazing. Be prepared for ton of compliments, and has no problem keeping up with traffic and tops out at about 50mph.
Needs windshield and wipers, but did not get them because I keep the windshield down. Fuel and temp gauge do not work. It also could use a small piece of sheet metal on the bottom side of passenger’s seat under the tool box area.
So sad I have to sell this, and really hope it finds someone that really appreciates it. This jeep is ready to be enjoyed! So stop by and we can take it for a spin, and feel free to ask me any questions.”
