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 .
Here’s a CJ Dealer Promotion ashtray that Craig pointed out to me. However, it’s is located in Thailand.
“You are looking at a authentic old vintage used ashtray & jeep. 6 inch wide by 2 inch high for tray. Jeep itself is 2 1/2 inch long. Made of chromed metal. Extensive oxidation to chrome. Looks like it may not polish out. No tobbaco smell.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
(03/15/2012) This looks in good shape. It is a pretty early CJ-3A.
“Good condition. New floor pans. All original, including 6 volt charging system. New battery. Runs well. Does not burn oil. Tires need replacing. Soft top and doors, but no rear side panels. Odometer says 1851, but I don’t think it is correct; I have no idea of real miles.”
I can’t tell if this was a WW2 or CJ, since there has been at least some body repairs.

This jeep might just set the record for the longest tow bar. There is some value here.

“Recently retired and I have too many projects. I need to sell this one to help finish my other antique truck. This is an earlier 46 Willys with the 3 speed on the column. It’s all there and with a fresh battery and some gas it should start. I just replaced the stater switch and cleaned the gas tank. It will need to trailered or hauled and I can help with loading.”
Kevin filed this report from Moab at the end of the Willys Overland Rally, Moab 2012. Thanks Kevin! Don’t forget to visit the oldwillysforum.com to prepare for next year’s rally.
Kevin writes, “We made it to Moab from Georgia, what an experience! I traveled 1,750 miles @ 25 cents per mile.
I had my share of adventure — Tranny coolant line breaks, gas gauge peg’s at fuel, lost a gas cap and bought a non-vent cap, which caused every hose connected to the tank leak like the Titanic of gas, loose distributor, two plug wires not doing their job, busted motor mouint, spring perches broke (spot welded). All the particapants made it up the Pucker Hill, but me … oh what fun it is to get stuck and broke down. Despite all of this, I had a Great Time!!! These people know how to party and have an honest good time!
All too quickly MOAB 3 – 2012 has come to an end. So, I’m on my way back to Georgia, carrying plenty of red sand for the ride home.
One more item off the Bucket List.”

Mark has a nice article at Jeeptruck.com about Don Howard, a former horse race jockey, who ran a jeep rental business out of Creede, Colorado. Don’s family has used jeeps for several generations, partly because the family has a ranch along the Continental Divide at 10,500 feet.
