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 .
Here’s an odd duck. The body looks extended in the rear.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
I’m wondering if they are running a side shift T-90 or a Ford Toploader with the Pinto engine.
“1946 Willys Jeep. Previous owner replaced the original flathead engine with a rebuilt Ford 2.3L 4cyl. Pinto engine. Runs fine, 60 psi oil pressure. The rest of the the drivetrain and suspension is original. The entire brake system has been replaced/rebuilt except for the hardware on the wheels. I have new brake shoes for it, just not the springs, adjusters, etc. The original fuel tank is missing so I have a small gas can in it now that works for starting and running, and I’m including a 12 gal. fuel cell I bought new but never instaled. Front seats need to be replaced. Body is in great shape for a Jeep this old with no major flaws. Basicly a good Jeep that needs a little work.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
Check out the horse-shoe pedals.

“1953 WILLYS Cj3B – For sale is a 1953 Cj3B (high hood) Jeep. It is in good running condition. Is in need of some body work and restoration. The Jeep does have some rust in the floor pans but not bad enough to fix. It would make an excellent restoration project. You can just drive it as is if you want. It is okay for that to. Comes with a new Best Top. The jeep has military tires and wheels and a F Head 4 cylinder engine. There is some evidence it could have been a military Jeep used by the Navy. I don’t have photos available. You are welcome to come and look at it. $4,300 FIRM PRICE. Call 239-994-1984. No emails or text messages. I will only answer phone inquiry.”

I’m working late on the book tonight to finish Draft 4 of my new book, which I expect will be the last major draft. So only a few updates tonight. I’ll do some more throughout the afternoon on the way to Seattle tomorrow.
Here’s a great old postcard or brochure that Marc spotted on Flickr.

Art snapped this picture of him at Pink Jeep Plaza and posted it at Jeep Thing on Facebook. He and his wife went on a Pink Jeep Tour and enjoyed themselves immensely.
