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: Mike confirmed via an FJ-3A brochure that these are the correct rims for an FJ-3A. I have a hard copy of that brochure and the hubcaps with the jeep name are visible in some of the pics. There can’t be many these hubcaps left.

“This set of 4 hubcaps is extremely rare…original equipment on the 1961-1965 Fleetvan – FJ-3/FJ3A – Walk-In Delivery Van. Willys Motors
introduced the two-wheel drive vehicle in 1961 and it was produced through 1965. Example of these hub caps on vehicle is shown in last
photo. Photo is example only…vehicle NOT included in this auction.
These hub caps measure 10″ in diameter…see photo.
These hub caps are almost 60 years old…they show their age…the chrome is gone, they have a few dents and dings and a bit of rust. Please
examine photos closely and judge their condition for yourself.
Please message any questions before bidding…I will respond ASAP.
Payment will be expected within 3 days of auction’s end. I usually ship the day after payment received…always within 3 days.
Thanks for checking-out my listing.”
This collection has a few interesting items, such as early (factory?) photos of the Porter & Reed Hardtops. But, I don’t see a ton of value here. Interestingly, the rear door of the Porter & Reed top swings sideways.

I have had a lot of fun cleaning up this trailer.
Need to pass on in order to work on a smaller 60s model.
Inside is clean as well.

I have the data plates but they still need to be reattached.

This photo from 1977 shows some postal jeeps that were caught in a July flood. This was featured on the Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum site.
“Postal inspectors were deployed to western Pennsylvania following a devastating flood, which was caused by a massive thunderstorm on July 19-20, 1977. These jeeps, swept away by the enormous force of the floodwaters, were recovered half a mile from the Windber Post Office.”
I lost a few emails out of my d@ewillys.com account yesterday due to a graphics snafu. If you sent me one between 8am pst and 5pm pst, can you please resend it?
Many thanks!
