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 think these people are nuts! One slip and you’d get run over by a fancy car, which doesn’t help the pain. No jeeps on the video, but you might remember the similar sport of Jeep-Joring.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
A poster of a penguin driving a Bantam BRC-60 sponsored by Kool Cigarettes. It is 20″ wide by 30″ tall.
“Up for sale is this Super Rare estate fresh WWII era Kool Cigarettes advertising sign / poster featuring Kool’s Willie the Penguin in WWII attire driving a military jeep with a Kool Cigarette Machine Gun on the hood and shells exploding in the background. The poster reads ‘KOOLS The Pack To Take Wherever You Go!’ The bottom of the poster reads ‘Save B&W Coupons for US War Stamps’. The poster measures 30 inches tall by 20 inches wide. The poster is in good condition for its age and has great color although there is a good deal of wear and creases around the edges and holes where the poster had been hung (Please See Photos). These issues don’t take away from this great WWII advertising image and this would make a great addition to any WWII, Advertising, or Tobacco collection.”
Marc spotted this neat photo.

The 23rd Annual Willys Spring Reunion takes place May 15-17 in Hudson, Ohio. This year’s Willys Reunion promises to be a HISTORIC EVENT, with the gathering of AgriJeeps (the first post-war CJ-2 Jeeps), all in one place for the first time since their official introduction at Cesor Farm on July 18, 1945.
The show features technical and non-technical presentations, parts vendors (new/NOS/take-off), Willys folklore, and over 100 Willys and Jeep classics from vintage WWII to the mid-’80s or newer. Special guest speaker at the Saturday night banquet is Bill Norris of the Norris-Banonis Group publishers. Learn more on Facebook or at the 2015 Willys Reunion webpage.
The February 1956 issue of Willys News featured this CJ-2A-turned-concrete-mixer.
