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**
A Mexican collector of Jeep Ads in Spanish wants to sell his collection. Here are two examples of what he has. If anyone is interested, contact me (d@ewillys.com) and I’ll provide his contact info.
According to the seller, he has “a very complete ads collection of about 40 Jeep Willys to Cj7 jeeps, also Willys Wagon and wagoneer and Pickup Jeeps”
Justin contacted me about something the other day, which lead me to the discovery of his family’s CJ-2A website. Check it out. http://www.hayescj2a.com/home
Steve forwarded this link about a Condo Garage. I found it pretty interesting.
Prior to last month’s parade at Butler, Gerald, his father, brother and nephew got their jeeps lined up for pictures. Pretty cool!
Bob reports that this year’s Northern Ohio Flatfender Gathering was a success. He writes, “We had 24 Willys Jeeps this year. It was a great time and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Next year we may simplify the food, add windshield tags that kind of thing. The rain held off until 3:45!”
Here are a few pictures from the event. You can see them all here:

This past January Bob took pictures of this jeep parked coldly in the snow. It looks like it was ready for a trip, but then got stuck. Thanks for sharing Bob.
Buz spotted this one. Note the Jeeplike vehicle for auction in the first image. Check out all the items here: http://www.quarricks.com/Thumb.htm
According to the website, the auction will be held October 1, 2011 at 268 Edison Street, Uniontown, PA.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $27,500.
The seller claims this is the only one of these, but I’ve seen 3 or 4 of them. Nonetheless, it is custom.

I’ve been exploring Manhattan today by foot. One of the places I wandered through was the M&M store at Times Square. I couldn’t resist photographing the jeep display. I may or may not have more posts later tonight.
Jonas wrote me the other day telling me he’s got a rare M-606. I asked him if the Data Plate was stamped ‘M-606’ and he said it was and that the speedometer is in KMs. He’s invited me to drop by and see for myself, so I hope to report on it in early October. Thanks for sharing! Cool pics, too! I love the contrast between the sky and the trees, jeep and grass.
He wrote, “I own a actual M606 jeep made by Kaiser in 1966. This is not a military CJ3B. It was exported (to Argentina I think) and then repatriated back to the US. Or it never left, nobody knows really. But It is here now and it is pretty original with all the features unique to the M606. I have acquired a Koening winch and hard cab for it in the past month and put a set of proper traction type tires on it.”
