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 .
Buz spotted some photos on Photobucket of a Willys Truck. He thought it might have been a fire truck. I can’t tell for sure. Anyone else think so?

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5200.
Jim spotted this great combo. Almost as good as the surrey DJ-3A hot dog jeep.

John spotted this CJ-3B in a 1956 Doris Day Movie titled: Julie
The CJ-3B enters the clip at approximately the 9:13 mark.
This poor jeep saw some action. It can be found on TWDCs’ History Page. TWA assisted the Kingdom of Saudi with management assistant for the newly formed Saudi Arabian Airlines.
Marc forwarded this Ex TWA ad.
“Rare 1956 Willys Jeep CJ3B. This jeep was originally purchased by Trans World Airlines for service at the Tulsa Municipal Airport. It was moved to the Tulsa International Airport in 1961 where it was in service until 1979. In 1979 the jeep was purchased through a private bid auction, and has been kept by the second owner since. This is a rare all original CJ3B, from the tall hood, to the tail gate, to the original 4 cylinder engine. Original engine is complete, needs rebuilt, and does not run. The drive train is all original, and is a factory 4 wheel drive. The body has some rust, and will need restoration. As seen in the pictures its still in the original paint, although faded, you can still read TWA on the side. The interior is nice, solid floor pans, original seats, and all original gauges. This is a true one of kind rare original CJ3B.”

The Museum of Alaska Transportation & Industry is located in Wasilla, Alaska. It’s a far drive for most people to see the museum, but it does have a rare CJ-3B Fire Jeep. I think that’s as good of a reason to visit Alaska as any other!
Ron alerted me to the museum and shared these photos he took. Note the CJ-7 Mail Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler, which I think looks pretty good. Thanks Ron!
See all the pictures Ron took here
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6,995.
Sounds like it might need a little interior work?
“4 cyl. Hurricane engine, 4×4 standard. Everything works and functions like it should. Has the factory plow hook up and a plow will come with it if desired. Came from PA. Nice solid frame, real nice bed, cab. Fresher paint, not by us. Interior is ok for a 56 year old truck. Drive / use as is or refinish interior and it would be real nice. All the glass is good. No cracks, some minor foging in the rear and side fixed glass. Just a real nice rare fc with the narrow wheel base. 6995.00 Go to http://klassicklunkers.com for more pictures and info.”
Marc spotted this unsual DJ-3A. The back has been extended and the dash contains a glovebox, but otherwise there’s lots of DJ-3A elements here. I didn’t know there were DJ-3A ambulances. Anyone ever seen one?
“Fully equipped DJ3A ambulance, well restored over the past years, very good technical condition, new tyres, good condition canvas softtop, etc…”

Marc forwarded a website called Primeportal. It offers photographic walk-arounds of all types of vehicles. Here’s one of a CJ-2A Fire Jeep (though it is listed as a CJ38 fire truck.
