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 .
Hugo spotted this article about the dually wheel adapter in an April 1949 Popular Mechanics article. I can’t remember seeing duallies on the front.
Bill forwarded the picture of a St. Petersburg Dealership below. That got me searching the net for a few more.
This picture is from Boerne, Texas. I found it here.
This picture is from Spokane, Wa, and the Spokesman Review (and current good view):
Honestly, I’m not sure if this is a real card or not. But, the picture was cool, so I thought I’d post it.
Blaine spotted this CJ-5 with a factory V8 at Ecola St. Park along the Coast of Oregon. The angle top is pretty rare, though it could use some retightening.
Steve asked me to post this.
Randy forwarded this link to some Ira Rosenthal photos from Iwo Jima. Included is a picture of this jeep.
The photo’s caption reads: A U.S. Marine driving an ambulance jeep struggles in the sandy beach at Iwo Jima during American advance on the strategic Japanese Volcano Island stronghold on Feb. 26, 1945 in World War II.

A reader named Jesse forwarded this picture of him in his dad’s 1954 CJ-3B when he was only 5. Jesse contacted me because he wanted to know more about this trailer kitchen featured a couple years ago in 4wd and sport utility magazine http://www.4wdandsportutility.com/features/jeep/0704_4wd_1951_willys_jeep_cj3/index.html
Here’s Jesse:
Here’s a picture of the trailer he wanted to know more about. Anyone know more about it? http://www.ewillys.com/?p=8001
Alex forward this image made by an artist friend of his, who also lives on the island of Moorea in French Polynesia, drew a picture of his jeep. It celebrates twenty-one years of Tahiti-Pacifique Magazine, of which Alex is the Director of Publishing and the Editor. Congrats on surviving two decades!
Alex shared these two links and pictures from shorpy.com.
