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 .
The King family has been taking annual family trips over the last five years. You can see some pics from last year’s trip here.
Jason King writes, Last Saturday was our 5th Annual Jeep Rally through Parke County Indiana. We enjoyed a 30 mile trip through the countryside, visited a Amish leather and saddle shop, road go karts and finished up with a campfire cookout.
Not the best photo of the posse.

Seth spotted this club patch for sale. I tried to find a website related to this club, but didn’t have any luck. The price is crazy!

This 1955 photo highlights the use of a CJ-5 to pickup golf balls at a driving range.
Apparently the Heinz Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, hosted celebrated D-Day festivities by hosting WWII vehicles, including some jeeps.

<– Day 52 – Tue. Jun. 2nd: Navigating the Book Cliffs | TRIP OVERVIEW –>
We spent Wednesday with my kids to celebrate my upcoming 50th birthday June 5th.
June 3rd Dinner at Del Mar al Lago in Salt Lake City.
Like all good things, this amazing Texas tour had to come to an end. So, thursday morning we left Salt Lake at 2:30am. In a funny coincidence, while driving through Boise at 7am, my cousin passed us on I-84 on his way to work. Ann was driving at the time, while I was napping, when he sped quickly by us. He recognized us as he passed, so he sent me a text, telling us ‘good morning’ and apologizing that he was ‘late for work’. Then off he went.
Small world.
We arrived in Pasco six hours later, ending our54-day trip after 10,113 miles of driving. Thanks to everyone who made it a fun, interesting, education, and entertaining time!
Friday is my 50th birthday. I’ve got posts scheduled for the next couple days, so I’ll be able to take some time off and get a massage :-). That’s a good way to start the second half of my century.

I ran across the ad on Craiglist. Learn more here.

Today we did a few things around Salt Lake and then enjoyed some Peruvian food with my kids. One the drive home we ran across an automobile shop called the Kar Klinic. In the parking lot were jeeps and in a back lot were jeeps. There were several references to jeep repair with shop rates at $65.
Roger Martin captured some of the farm jeep events at last weekend’s Willys Jeep Rally at Hueston Woods State Park in south west Ohio.
Roger writes, These were taken at Green Pasture Farms,owned by John and Phyllis Ittel. Many of the working Jeeps are theirs. Rick Riley (one of the event organizers owns the backhoe w/blade and others).
The Ittel’s Jeeps have a license plate with their names. The first is John’s Jeep using a post hole digger:
A 3 point hitch w/scoop and a green hydraulic pump is running on John’s red CJ-3B:
Great bit of history.
UPDATE: Was on eBay.
This is the brochure that’s printed on newspaper.
“This is a 1944 1945 Willys Overland CJ2 CJ-2A brochure. This is printed on a news paper like paper. It is 71 years old and shows its age but in very good condition. There are no major tears or holes and would make a great display piece. This is a very rare brochure. If you have a VEC (Very Early CJ) and would like to collect the print material this is one you don’t want to miss. I’m only selling my collection because of personal matters. It’s better to sell the brochures than the jeep.”
