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 .
According to the caption, this photo shows the rear of General Montgomery’s jeep as prisoners walk by it.

For our anniversary (which is today) we are taking a short trip through northeastern Washington. Above is an approximate map of our trip. We head to Winthrop today, then will make our way through some forest service roads before taking backroads to Oroville. Then we plan to hang as far north as we can before we drop down to Newport (or somewhere close to that).
This photograph is part of a Popular Mechanics article from October, 1959. The article highlights the success American car manufacturers were having by producing cars in the San Paulo region, which the writer describes as the ‘Chicago’ of South America.

Lined-up Jeeps await delivery outside the Willys-Overland of Brazil factory at Sao Bernardo do Campo, Sao Paulo’s industrial suburb. This expanding plant will soon be producing 250 Jeeps, cars and station wagons per day.
Charles forwarded some more photos.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $75.
They could use some cleaning, but not a bad price.
“Off my old 47 willys cj2a. Dualmatic selector hubs. Great shape! $75.00 cash please. Feel free to call or email (put “Dualmatic” in heading so no spam)..but no texting please. Thanks”
Charles forwarded these two photos. Note there is also a FC in the background of one photo.
Marc found this photo taken in Nettuno, Italy.

This Monroe Lift Brochure arrived while I was on vacation. It’s a great little brochure. The FarmJeep page has information on the Monroe lift, including this Monroe lift parts list.
Also, if you’ve never visited Clint Dixon’s Dodge Power Wagon Monroe Lift page, it’s worth a look. There he has some detailed drawing of the Monroe Lifts. He also has a great photo page that shows a Dodge Power Wagon and the Monroe Lift using different implements.
Speaking of Hydraulic Lifts, the Love Tractor Company (or perhaps more accurately Love Industries — I’m not clear on the difference) made a lift and also sold a willys-engine powered tractor.
According to the Standard Catalog of Farm Tractors 1890-1980, by C.H. Wendel, Love Tractor offered model J51 that was built around a Willys CJ-2A engine. This may have been a repurposed Empire Tractor, because at least one source suggests Love purchased eighteen Empire Tractors when Empire dissolved. Anyone know more about the ‘Willys’ Love Tractor?

Love Tractor also created a hydraulic three-point lift system. At CJ3a.info is a page devoted to the lift. At the Farm Jeep site is a scan of the brochure.
The February 1947 issue of Popular Science has an article on the Love Hydraulic Lift System distributed by Newgren.
There is also an article about the Love system and Newgren in a 1949 issue of Farm implement news – Volume 70 – Page 56.
