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 .
This is a neat little little brochure for the Alexander Bush and Bog Harrow Brochure.
This document outlined the signage rules for Kaiser Willys Parts and Service Departments. Unfortunately only part of it is shown on eBay.
“Original dealer part color sales sheet , 8.5 x 14 , also factory letter describing this sheet . Shows two different Kaiser Willy Outdoor Service Signs .”

Here’s a M-151 modified for riot control. I haven’t seen this mod used too often (fortunately).

Donny wrote me to share this photo of the family’s CJ-6 he came across recently:
He writes, “I came across a picture of my friend driving our 1958 CJ6 in 1974. My granddad bought it new, and it stayed on our ranch in Florida for all these years. Unfortunately, in 2003, it was given away in disrepair. Sure miss it now! I’ve had a Willys truck and a 2A but I miss miss this Jeep most of all! Man that Jeep could pull! The man standing by the Jeep was the greatest man in the world. My Dad”
Here’s a neat brochure. I can not remember running across one of these installed on a truck for sale.
Speaking of weddings, Keith thought we’d appreciate his daughter’s wedding cake. She got married last weekend. Congrats to the bride and groom and a nod to their taste in cakes!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
Thanks Sonny for this great find. It is a screaming deal that shouldn’t last long. That’s a really rare setup.
“This is the coolest little Jeep post hole digger.
Needs a started
tires need to be filled.”
Bought new by his grandfather, Rich’s CJ-2A is still serves the family.
Rich writes, “The 48 CJ2A was bought new by grandfather. My dad got it in 1956 and I got it in 73. Someday my son will be the owner. Here are a few old pic’s from back in the 50’s . Me and my sister are in a few shots.”
Thanks for sharing Rich!
And the Jeep today:
Given the wedding theme of the last week, Steve shared the following photo.
Steve writes, “Jumping on the bandwagon of the “Just Married” photo theme, the attached photo is of my honeymoon car that toured Central Oregon in September 1995. I took this today showing how my Jeepster looked the week following my wedding day.”
