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 .
It looks like this matches the standard design layout of the truck nicely.
I’ve never seen an original version of this press photo from February 6, 1941. Great photo! The use of the term “Might Midget” rather than jeep or blitz buggy is notable.
“This is an original press photo. Dept- US Army Service Corps, Credit – ACME & NEAPhoto measures 9 x 7inches. Photo is dated 02-6-1941.”

UPDATE: Blaine forwarded the video for the Mini-Beep:
Struck-Kit offers what they call a Mini-Beep Kit, which you can use to build mini jeep-like vehicles. You can even build an amphibious version.

I guess there’s a reason no one has wanted to bid $.99 for this . . .
“Excellent condition. Large logo on the front chest. Adult XL.”

This isn’t perfect, but it has a great vintage feel with the old top and posse tag. There are several Douglas Counties in different states, but I’m guessing this was from Nevada?

This is a running Tuxedo Mark III.
“This is one of the best in the country. Original paint, the color is called Indian Ceramic. Runs great. The ’63 Tuxedo Mark III was the first production model with chrome trim on all latches, bumpers, side steps, grab bar and more. This jeep has been in Arizona all it’s life, the last 10 years in Sun City storage.”
Includes overdrive. Looks straight.
“All original except new Saginaw steering & 32″ BFG’s. All new engine, Warn overdrive, power brakes, NO RUST, great shape. All it needs is paint.”

(02/15/2014) The seller has spent quite a bit of money on it so far. The Warn summer hubs look good.
“HERE IS MY 1948 100% RUST FREE WILLYS CJ2A AND 7 TEAR COMPLETE MECHANICAL REBUILD PROJECT THAT I COMPLETED THIS PAST WEEK AND JUST GETTING A FEW MILES ON IT NOW….ORIGINALLY SOLD IN CALIFORNIA TO A PROMINENT CALIFORNIA INDUSTRIALIST AT THE TIME, THIS CJ2A HAS LIVED INDOORS IN THE DRY CALIFORNIA DESERT ALL OF IT’S LIFE UNTIL I WAS TOLD OF IT’S AVAILABILITY 6 YEARS AGO.

(10/16/2013) This has some underside rust.
“This began as a project 3 years ago. The jeep has been in a barn on the Ragan ranch for approx. 25 years where it sat after the brakes went out. It was moved to a different barn in Santa Ynez where I got it and brought it back into action in 2011. I use it now for my lawn care work in town. It has all original parts except for an alternator now, a 12 volt system and a solid state ignition. I have the original points distributor as well. It runs nicely and it is what it is. Yes, the horn works. I NEVER ride around with it without an overwhelming response form about Everyone who sees me. I ride with the windshield down. I arrested the surface rust. The under side needs some attention. Some small rust holes in the low side above the floor. The 4 wheel drive works sooooo well. I have two wheel brake cylinders to install for better braking.”
