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’d still like to get one of these.

During my brief visit to Seattle the weather was most uncooperative. Today it was rain and hail, intermixed with sun. Two days earlier it was thunder, lightening, and downpours. So, I wasn’t as productive as I would have liked. Still, I managed to clean some more parts, order some parts, and work on the gas tank.
Not surprisingly, there seems to be no aftermarket replacement tank for the DJ-3A. I’m pretty sure a DJ-5 or rear CJ-5 tank would fit just fine, but I didn’t have one readily available and, besides, I was trying to stay with the DJ-3A tank. After some searching, I found one with all the parts, but it was a bit dented.
This tank took a pretty good hit.
Today I decided to get the dents out. With nothing to lose, I started by drilling an access hole in the good side so I could pound out the worst side.
My tool of choice was a 20 pound pry bar that had a round surface at the top. So, I inserted the bar upside down into the newly drilled hold and began working out the dents. It worked surprisingly well.
I also had a small sledge and a smaller bar with a rounded end that helped remove some dents. Continue reading
There are several Mitsubishi-jeep brochures on eBay right now.
2. This jeep came with a unique platform. View the brochure on eBay
3. This is a CJ-3B J-10 brochure. View the brochure on eBay

2. He also share this link. There are a series of WWII/Present photos. You drag your cursor over the photo and it changes to the present. It includes informative captions. In one photo there’s the front end of a jeep (can you find it?) and in a second one, are some soldiers unloading an odd mini-bike (at least I am not familiar with it).

The annual “Delaware Goes to War- Victory In Europe” reenactment took place at Fort Miles in Delaware last weekend. Joe shared these photos taken by Bill Goodwin. Thanks! (I think this is a good start to “Front-end Friday”)
Today, a gentleman name “Moos” from the Netherlands will be flying into Redmond, Oregon, to purchase to a Willys Truck and drive it to Kent, Washington. From there, the track will get shipped to the Netherlands, where he’ll prepare it for a trip from the Netherlands down to Dakar (Senegal) in Africa.
Hopefully, everything will go smoothly on his drive today. Moos has my number in case he has a problem along his route. If he does have a problem, I may be phoning folks along his route to serif you can help. I will be around Renton for part of the day, but then I will be heading to Bellingham to deliver some jeep tires and enjoy some dinner with Wade Smith.
I suggested this route to avoid some of the Friday traffic, but he still must drive north up Interstate-5.
And here’s the truck. If you drive by Moos, give him a wave!
Jim Allen wrote a piece on the Mahl Loader, a bit of history that Glenn Byron has been chasing.

This post from 2016 shows a number of brochures and other information about the Mahl.
I thought this Warn brochure was interesting. It’s in excellent shape. It bought it as part of a lot of brochures. It’s approx 3″x3″.
This year’s Northwest FC Get-Together will be held Aug 4-6th in Olympia, Washington.
