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 .
We are heading to Baton Rouge on an unexpected adventure. More on our adventure tomorrow.
Meanwhile, I found this at a nearby Buc-ees.
…. I managed to schedule this morning’s update on the wrong date. And, it was just the simple update below:
We had a very slow start yesterday for reasons that shall remain in confidence due to the sensitive nature of the person who slowly got ready, delaying our departure, and who was not Ann nor I. The slow departure kept us from spending as much time as we’d hoped in downtown Fort Worth. More on that tomorrow.
Later on in the day, the two fast morning-dressers went out on their own and had a lovely afternoon meeting with Jesse and Andrea Ybarra, then a wonderful dinner with my niece, who is feeling the affects of being away from home as a Freshman in college. Our timing with her couldn’t have been better.
When we returned to the motorhome, I received an email that may lead to an incredible jeep-related opportunity, which could change our travel plans slightly. I’ll know more later today.
However, right now (that would be late Monday evening) I’m exhausted, so this is the only post for Tuesday morning. Stayed tuned …. I will post Tuesday afternoon if our travel plans change.
An August 20, 1954, article in the Toledo Bade discussed Kaiser-Willys upcoming demonstrations at 23 major fairs in 15 states. The article included a photo of a Jeep-a-Trench Trencher.

Bill spotted this 3B. It appears to have a classic California jeeping bumper. I ran across an ad for these in one of my old Four Wheeler magazines.
“Willy’s Jeep CJ 3B. 20 miles on rebuilt motor, new tires & wheels, new seats, set up to tow, new wiring, new fuel system and new break setup”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/11/2015) Appears to have a reversed roll bar with the front loop tied to the back loop.
“This jeep has a 1989 302 Ford 5.0 fuel injected motor. ARB high output compressor with ARB front and rear. Older 8000 lbs warn winch.(higher rated than newer warns) I have replaced and upgraded too much to list. Call or texted if you’re really interested. Would consider trade for a commuter vehicle it motorcycle.”

The body looks rough on the passenger side. It has the wrong windhshield and rims.
