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 .

OldWillysForum was started in 2009 as a way to bring together like minded Willys enthusiasts, create an open knowledge base for Willys Wagons, Pickups, Forward Control, CJ, Jeepster, and Aero, and to help find parts and services needed to keep these great American classic rigs on the road.
The forum has quickly grown into a community of friends, and one of the best places on the web for Willys. The site was put together in the garage on many weekends, over a few beers, like so many of our Willys. It is run by a one-man-band and is not corporate owned. It is a labor of love and with your support will continue to thrive.
If you have never checked out or it’s been a minute since you have seen Old Willys Forum please head over and take a look at what they have to offer, it’s a great group of like minded Willys folks.
They also do a few events each year, some smaller then others, but The Run For The Hills is a very popular event out west, this year was in Quincy, CA and was really great looking. It’s a well run and multiple Willys Vendor supported Event. Can’t stress enough how well our Willys Vendors support these outings all over the Country.
In addition to making your normal introduction post over there, I made up a quick couple things that I think are useful to people new to Willys and even if you are returning or getting back in the game after a long time.
Need some more Willys pictires you can check out the Media sections over there as well for lots of examples of various Willys.

Hope your able to head over and check them out and see what we are up too over there!
I was surprised to see this Toyota Land Cruiser museum pop up on social media. I was even more surprised to see it located in Salt Lake City. The final surprise was that it is a short walk from my son’s house. So, I’ll be visiting this place soon. The museum boasts an impressive collection of Land Cruisers.
You can learn more about this history of the museum from this Hagerty article: https://www.hagerty.com/media/car-profiles/12-off-roaders-at-land-cruiser-heritage-museum/

Craig shared this page (I think on FB), It’s as good of an explanation of Corgi FC-150 models as I have seen.

There are some jeeps coming up for auction through Sotheby’s, along with a Mule. Note Lot 322 1951 M-38 that sold for $61,600!
UPDATE: Matt shared this awesome pic of a Stork FC with a plow taken at the 2019 Great Willys Picnic.
I happened upon the Stork’s Plows website the other day. The company operates out of Bernsville, Pennsylvania. It looks like they carry a wide range of replacement parts for plows and other equipment, though how many vintage parts they have for those items isn’t clear. According to the website’s history page, the company started fixing plows and has a history of jeep support. They also sell some jeep parts on eBay.
Anyone familiar with the company?
Here’s a shoutout to Barney for the Kaiser Willys Newspaper seen at top.
Barry Thomas and his son Evan have been working hard to expand Farmjeep.com, a resource for early farm implements and other jeep information. As they note in the “about us” section, they are a “father and son documenting that we don’t know what we are doing since 2002” … I can relate to that as well.
If you haven’t been there in a while (or never), check it out, as the father and son duo have rebuilt the earlier site into a larger one with lots of information. The jeep lift research area is especially valuable. You can even learn a little bit about me, as Barry generously asked me to contribute a short bio for the site.

Paul tells me that they have updated the East Coast Willys Association’s website. They also plan to update it on a regular basis.

UPDATE: TJ spotted one of these Junior MBs for sale in Florida. The original post at the bottom is from 2010.
The Hemmings ad below includes several photos, but it’s not clear to me which of these jeeps is the one for sale (or it’s just a reseller important the jeeps and reselling them). The photos are all from the manufacturer website.

The latter half of this video shows the jeep:
Original Post May 8, 2010: Junior Replicas website. Pretty good replicas for a kids toy. They offer a variety of vehicles besides Jeeps.
From the website, “Junior Replicas Mini-Veículos para Lazer S.A. produces in Brazil, exact replicas of classic vehicles, in a scale enabling their use by children over 6 years old. The mini-vehicles use a four stroke, 6,5 hp petrol engines and have specially developed mechanics for complete safety and long-lasting enjoyment. The bodies are moulded in glass reinforced polyester (GRP) and are very detailed and fully replicate the original full-size model.”
