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 .
These pull toy jeep plans were published in the January 1944 issue of Popular Science by C.W. Bertsch.
In June of 1946, around 10,000 Veterans appeared at the Benicia armory in the hope of buying one of the 1,588 WWII jeeps for sale. The article was published in the June 25, 1946, issue of the Utica Daily Press (pg3).
Here’s a DJ-3A Dispatcher Ad from January 6,1956, published in the Herald Statesmen in Yonkers, NY. If you lived in Elmira, New York, you’d have seen the same ad, but with a price that was over $200 more ($1583)! Carmel, New York, had the best price at $1249.
This ad was published six years later in a 1962 issue of the Herald Statesman.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4950.
The motor is updated. Looks in good shape.
“This Willys is in great. Original wheels, tires, seats, body. The engine was swapped for a Ford Maverick inline 6 and had the brakes and steering upgraded. Which makes for a much better ride than the original flathead 4. This would be a great start for a full restoration or you might just be looking for a fun hobby and sunday cruiser. Either way it runs and drives beautifully.”
This CJ-5 will be auctioned on Friday, October 24th, in Pike County, Illinois.

“1946 Willys Jeep with title, running condition”
http://www.auctionzip.com/cgi-bin/auctionview.cgi?lid=2238083&kwd=willys&zip=&category=0
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2000. Jeff notes he is open to offers.
This has been disassembled.
“I want to sell this Willys with some rare options to help finance another project. It was purchased new in 1950 with the Monroe 3 point hitch and rare front bumper weight installed. It has the dash mounted throttle that operated the governor which was missing when I got it. The jeep needs total restoration, floors are bad as well as the hat channels and is currently apart with the frame on a rotisserie as shown in one photo. The motor has been run and has a rebuilt carb, new water pump, and the valves have been lapped. Title is not a problem as bill of sale only on a vehicle this old in this state.”
