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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
I liked that the jeep fire truck and the cargo personnel carrier showed up in the ad. They are pretty rare to see in ads.
“ORIGINAL RARE 1956 CANADA KAISER WILLYS JEEP FIRE TRUCK AMBULANCE CARGO SEDAN AD ALL MODELS SHOWN
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE SEEN THIS CANADIAN AD IN 11 YEARS AND WE HAVE SOLD MANY CANADIAN WILLYS ADS.
Ad measures 5″ x 6″ approximately, in very good condition.”
UPDATE: This was sold on eBay a few days ago. Marty contacted me and wondered if the buyer could email him at
mtmabe@northstate.net
“This is the first one of these I’ve seen. Dan happened to forward a thread about this very engine today. http://www.oldmarineengine.com/discus/messages/3449/96470.html

I found this interesting photo on MiliBlog (http://miliblog.co.uk/?m=201102). It has some great details. The caption read “General Slim Driving a Jeep with Mountbatten”
Dave wanted to share this vintage image of an Experimental CJ-2 equipped with a Sprayer.
UPDATE: The winning bid on this was $144.
There can’t be too many of these around. I like it!
“This was bought at the Willys show in Jefferson City, MO in the ninties I just never found the right lamp to put it on. Has a tear (see picture) not very noticable and it has a few stains, maybe from moisture, some more noticable than others”
If you love fish and jeeps, these crazy trunks might be for you. You’ll need to be a size medium though.

How about this unusual piece of memorabilia?
“You are getting a pretty rare piece of memorabilia from Willys Jeep. This clip is advertising a couple of the Willys war time vehicles and changes design depending on how you look at it. In good shape, measure aprox 2 3/8 by 1 3/4 inches. Please look at the pics as they are a huge part of the description. Thanks for looking!”

Craig’s pic this week comes from the August 1956 issue of Willys News
Dave forwarded this beautiful version of Ms. Autolite perched on a Surrey.
Maury spotted this blog article by Brian Albrecht at Cleveland.com. It’s a great article detailing how some letters led David Keckan on a search for a jeep in his Grandfather was photographed.
