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 .

I just noticed this ad.
“I will be at the Military vehicle collectors swap meet tomorrow, Sunday the 14th with original WWII Jeep parts and other Military items. The swap meet is at the AMVETS of Irwindale at 14910 Los Angeles Street beginning at 6am and ending around 11am. It is not a big swap meet but if you need WWII Jeep parts or are a collector of vintage Military items this is the place to be! Look for a Desert Tan painted Jeep Comanche with matching shell! Here is the clubs website and the swap is held the second Sunday of each month! http://www.scmvcc.com”
Don’t forget that the North/South Carolina Flat Fender Clubs will be holding a Meet on April 13th. The location is at the foot of the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, Mount Pleasant Waterfront Park, in Mt Pleasant SC. Time of meet is 8:30am until 4pm.

<– Day 4 & 5 – March 21 & 22: Joe and Joe in Mesa, FC Roundup Part I | Overview | Day 7 – March 24: Bernie’s Hotrod FCs and A Train Stop –>
Just a few updates today (Sunday). Saturday was busy and a lot of fun at Jesse’s house. People were coming and going all day. There was plenty of good food, with hot dogs and beans at lunch and some delicious midday ribs from James in the afternoon. Blue sky and temperatures in the high 70s created perfect temperatures whether you were in the sun or the shade. Below are some of the day’s events.
After a group trip to Mother’s for dinner, we returned to find Bernie’s stunning FC combo:
Colin, George and I spent some time checking out Colin’s Jeepster:
Bob restored this beautiful column shift CJ-2A:
The ladies all jumped into Jesse’s refurbished Tour Jeep for a picture. He’s almost finished with it.
We celebrated Jesse and Andrea’s 50th anniversary and the FC-Roundup’s 10th anniversary.

You don’t see a DJ-3A (albeit modified) show up on a t-shirt too often! I spotted this shirt in several Moab t-shirt shops.

Hiking to Delicate Arch in Arches National Park, Tuesday, March 19th.
Over the next two days (March 18th and 19th) our goal was to drive to Moab.
Early Monday morning (March 18th) Ann and I headed for Phoenix for 2013 FC-Roundup this coming weekend. We stopped Monday evening in Salt Lake Monday Night for dinner at Rodizio Grill with my kids.
David, Kasia, and Colter. Karson was away at FEMA Corps during our visit.
The next morning, we began our drive to Moab. On our way out of Salt Lake City, near Point of the Mountain, we met up with a reader named Jake. He and his father have refurbished two jeeps, a CJ-2A and a CJ-5. They are now on their third, a CJ-3B. The 2A and 5 will be down in Moab next week for the Easter Jeep Safari. If you see them say Hi! Thanks for taking the time to meet with us Jake!

Paul forwarded these pics to consider. The moral is, always follow a half track!
“Last Saturday I visited the local military vehicle show and I saw an amazing sight. Among the various military trucks, Jeeps and one half track on display there was a Willys M 38 which had suffered a bit of body damage when the previously mentioned half track didn’t quite stop soon enough. I don’t know the reason for the meeting of these vehicles but the attached pictures show the results of contact between one very light and one very heavy military rig. The poor M 38 got the worst of this bump but the half track also suffered when it received a scratch in the paint on the front drum. Sad to see but I don’t believe anyone was hurt.”
Major Joe forwarded some pics from the 2013 Military Vehicle show at Falcon Field in Mesa, AZ. There were quite a few jeeps at the event. Thanks for sharing!
He wrote, “I attended the annual Military Vehicle show at Falcon Field here in Mesa Saturday (had to find another way to get my Willy’s/Flat fender fix since your site was down!). Anyway, I thought I’d share the pics with you (attached). It’s a great event, and included military motorcycles, dozens of non-jeep vehicles, a half track, helicopter, and many aircraft (always on display since this is the home of the AZ chapter of the Commemorative Air Force).”
