About eWillys
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.
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 .

Jeep Day July 18th Happy 80th Birthday to the Civilian Jeep
If you know of any events please pass them on happy to post them up, this was sent over by Barry at FarmJeep! Thanks, Barry!
Happy 80th Birthday to the civilian Jeep
“The third week of July 1945 forever changed vehicle history as Willys-Overland made the grand public debut of the civilian Jeep and thereby unofficially launched the Sport Utility Vehicle market. A mass-produced, four-wheel drive, multi-purpose vehicle would now be available for the average consumer. Wednesday, July 18, was the official introduction date, which Willys proclaimed to be “Jeep Day.” So wrote Bill Norris in the Summer 2020 issue of The Dispatcher (https://www.dispatchermagazine.com/) magazine. You can read the entire article here (https://www.farmjeep.com/farm-jeep-history/willys-farm-jeep-history/jeep-day/).
It appears the current owners of the Jeep brand have forgotten this milestone. At least I haven’t seen anything in the media – yet. Perhaps they are waiting for the actual day. You would think this would be a marketer’s dream. Few companies can boast such success.
For our part, we plan to spread the word on social media and elsewhere that July 18th is “Jeep Day.” A day to go for a drive in your Jeep, take your Jeep to work, or celebrate your Jeep in any way you choose.
Tim: Here are a few pictures from some of the newspaper releases, this is from Fort Worth, TX 7-19-1945. It was pretty big news across the nation on the release of these.
1954 Model M38-CJ3A $3,500 Parrish, AL ESTATE SALE 7-10 to 7-12
Time sensitive on this one and it may not be there, but listed as a M38-A1, it might be a CJ3B with the spare on the side and the headlights look fancy, but it looks to have a full floating rear out back and the hoop deal on the side of the tub, if anyone goes let us know what you find here.
Information from seller:
This is part of an estate, so please see the blue photo.
Barry from Farm Jeep sent over a quick summary and link to this video that shows a bunch of stuff from this years, Willys Jeep Rally, it looked like it was a really good time.
Took a bit to catch up and post this for everyone.
To check out more stuff about the Farm Jeeps, head over to his site.
This year’s show was bigger than ever, despite a rainy start. Friday came with intermittent showers during the morning, forcing the cancellation of the farm demonstration. There were plenty of shelters to allow exhibitors and visitors to mingle and carry on discussions.
Day 2 dawned bright and sunny. @someplaceoranother has posted a video of the day 2 activities starting with the down-sized farm demonstration.
The Great Willys Picnic was just that pretty great! Drive out went well caught up with some old friends and met a bunch of new folks, was really a nice day. Rained just a tad on the way home but overall was a wonderful day. Check out these photos I took at the event. If you are in the area next year or wanted to take a road trip it’s a worthwhile event for the family.
