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: **SOLD** Was $1400.

Jeff and I in his shop’s showroom. The large brown book in my hand is the ‘bible’ on Wurlitzer Organs written and given to me by Jeff.
On Tuesday we started out in Chicago, then drove to Dodgeville, Wisconsin.
On Tuesday afternoon we drove from Chicago, Illinois, to Dodgeville, Wisconsin.
After a long night’s sleep, Tuesday we drove into Chicago to visit with Jeff Weiler, owner of JL Weiler, Inc. Jeff’s company specializes in the restoration and conservation of high pressure pipe organs. He wanted to show us his shop and the work he was doing on a Wurlitzer Organ from Sydney Australia and a second one that is being installed in downtown Chicago at St. John Cantius Church.
This series of binary relays represents the Wurlitzer Pipe Organ’s ‘computer’. It is complex and requires a great deal of wiring.
Of course, on this trip we’ve learned a thing or two about wiring! Here is the third harness weaver we’ve seen during our journey!
All the pipes and instruments have to be tuned. Here’s the contraption jeff uses to insure the completed organ sounds the way it should.
To properly rebuild the organs, Jeff has saved many documents. Here is just some of the Wurlitzer documents he has to reference. Here Tom and Jeff show me some of the blueprints they own.
Dan spotted this article about an unusual ‘jeep’ idea. Make sure to check out the video of it in action.
“It was designed to leap over small buildings in a single bound, but it never got off the ground.
Military contractor BAE Systems has unveiled a once-top secret “Jumping Jeep” that was under development in the 1960’s.
Designed by the British Aerospace Corporation, one of BAE’s predecessors, the off and above-roader was envisioned to be used as a go-anywhere reconnaissance vehicle.

Marc forwarded this clock on eBay.
“This 1:32 scale model of the classic Willys Jeep was issued by Daimler Chrysler in 2005. It was a limited edition and the only model of the Jeep that featured a fully-functional alarm clock.”
Kel is a visiting artist at gearheartshirts.com. He contacted me about some FC-150 shirts he has created for sale. I’ve never seen them in person.
“Forward Control. From the helm of this cab over 4×4 a driver can not only look incredibly cool but also roll over just about anything they want. This shirt features art inspired by a vintage brochure.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
(03/26/2010) “As mentioned above this DJ3A comes in very rare automatic transmission variation, 4×2 WD, with right hand drive which was a special order of Public Works Departments through out the country, this vehicles were also used by delivery agencies and post offices. When I got this Willys I was skeptical about if auto tranny is original or not but later in my research I came across official Willys document called Consolidated Specifications for Commercial Vehicles and it clearly stated that in fact auto transmission was an option for DJ3A line of vehicles (I can email this document to any interested party). Also I found pictures of very same Jeeps with canvas half tops, right hand drive and auto tranny at the Los Angeles Department of Public Works web sight on the page related to the history of the department (it’s a low resolution pictures but I attached them to this listing) . . . Much more history on eBay”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was listed at $32000
“FOR SALE is his 1941 Ford GP “PROTOTYPE” jeep that has been restored by him. The jeep has many original parts but also has some reproduction items. The engine is a GP engine but is missing the (holy grail) carburetor. The air cleaner is a reproduction. This jeep runs well and looks very very good.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2300.
This runs. Looks in pretty good shape, but does need some work.
“Runs good…..needs some work; “like all old jeeps.” To make street ready; need to fix tail lights.
For the most part this is original with a few exceptions; 12 volt conversion, new manifolds, larger fuel tank, added roll bar.
Low rust, however the windshield does have a poor rusted arm that was sent for repair. I was not happy with the repair and the shop also cracked one side of the glass.
I purchased this jeep from a person who had it stored in his garage for several years. I did license the jeep and took it for short drives to the grocery store. I just do not have the storage for this jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $4500

This runs, too.
