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 .
Scott spotted this jeep in what looks to be an older Peanuts cartoon by Charles M Schulz. If you are in the Santa Rosa, California, area, be sure to drop by the Charles M. Schulz Museum. Pretty neat!
Ted shared this story from last weekend: Sounds like they had a good time!
I’m sure you’ve seen a bunch of Eric’s collection of Willy’s Jeeps at his place up in NY. He is a great friend that I actually met through eWillys and has been buying a bunch of really great PTO related stuff from me over the years. Last weekend he took a trip down to see me with a few of his friends Todd and Todd’s son Conner, He also came to buy a really great little 52 CJ3A Farm Jeep complete with full PTO; complete Monroe three point hitch setup;,a set of Dual Wheel Adapters; front counter weight; Right Angle Drive Drum Pulley; and a couple of Cord Wood Buzz Saws. Super great hanging out with these guys and Im quite sure the Jeep and parts went to a good home.
I found this article titled “Jeep Mountaineers” by Henry Zuidema in the September 1950 issue of Motor News. The magazine was so Michigan focused that they had a list of Michigan-related football games for both college and pro teams.

This article was published in the February 28, 1941, issue of the Milwaukee Journal. Seemed like a good companion piece to the photo above.
Here’s an unusual jeep desk for sale.

This new video from Mark & Tom Smith share the Jeep Farm’s work on a 1976 Wagoneer.
Listed as a 1998 photo, I believe this is actually dated on the back of the photo as being ’48.

The first one (digital artwork) is a commissioned order cartoon for a customer at Quebec, Canada. It depicts a Canadian made Willys M38 jeep and his owner at the wheel (with his wife at co driver seat). This was offered as a birthday gift by a friend of him.
The second one, hand painted, is another Willys M38 jeep. This one was ordered by a customer at South Dakota. You could see the Mount Rushmore at background plus some details (birds, etc.) at the background. The customer appears at the wheel of his jeep with all his family.
And the third one (in black and white, also hand painted) was ordered as a birthday gift by a German customer and it was offered to his girlfriend. Both of them appear as his jeep and as background I draw a typical old French street.
UPDATE: This ad is still available.
I guess Texcel was a Scotch Tape competitor? Never heard of it.
