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 .
UPDATE: Was available for $2500. Status Unknown.

A friend of Ted’s is an artist who creates clocks out of melted bottles. Ted asked him to make this unusual jeep clock. I’m sure Tom will make one for you if you are interested.
Tom writes, “For the most part the bottle bottom fold sup, if the bottom has an indent in the bottle, which is found on smaller bottles, it will melt straight down. The type used on Ted’s bottle basically comes out the same. The bottle can be mounted either horizontally or vertically. The vertical bottles have the neck wrapped so they can be hung. The clocks are battery operated. It takes 12 hours to melt one bottle and about 35% of them break while drilling the hole for the clock arms. The cost is generally $35 to $40 plus shipping and sales tax.”
Here is Tom’s bottle. Below that is an example of another clock.
UPDATE: This truck is now owned by Mike in Texas (this differs from the Mike who originally forwarded the information).
Mike forwarded these pictures of a Good Humor Ice Cream Truck in need of restoration.
Mike writes, “How about this for a unique Willys Jeep Vehicle: A Willys Jeep Good Humor Truck. There were a few of these running around NJ back in the 1960’s. A few years ago, I was able to track one down in PA. The owner was in the process of restoring it. As of last year, he had run out of time and money.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

“I have a 1948 CJ2a in need of some restoration efforts. It is a very original example with low original miles (approx 30,000. It has mostly sat unused and needs work to get it on the road again. Floors are extermely solid with no previous welding or repairs. The jeep is very stock with all original fittings present. It has the stock gauges, electrical, seat frames, fan shrouds carb etc etc even the battery cables and license plate holder are orignal. I have a clear 1952 oregon title. It has spark, and it will fire with some gas in the carb. The headlights and marker lights work. Its a very original example worthy of further restoration but I simply have too many projects to give it the attention it deserves. If you want to restore an original cj2a – this is a great start.
New parts (in the last week)
-brand new 6 volt battery
-new plugs, wires, condensor, cap
-new wheel cylinders (not installed) and brake hoses”
This has a fiberglass body. It runs and drives, but doesn’t stop.
“1964 willys cj 5 fiberglass body and fenders jeep in good shape runs and drives needs lights wired up harness and lights all there just needs to be hooked up . it has a four cyl f head with a 3 sp tranny four wheel drive works great . brakes need a little tinkering i think the wheel cylinders are leaking on rear axle. this is a really cool rig and would make someone a great toy to play in the woods or putt putt to your local car show. give me a call or email Ben 1-802-325-2023 thanks for looking”
