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 .
Mario posted on Facebook this great ad for American Central Manufacturing.
Certainly it isn’t the first jeep to be stuck in New Guinea! This photo included a February 25, 1944, article from the Healdsburg Tribune that updated on New Guinea operations.
UPDATE: Still available.

“4wd 4 wheel steer, 3speed with high and low range. Runs great. Mule can be taken anywhere off-road.”
It’s been cut up, but it would still make a fine race or offroad body. Fiberglass shells are often used for race jeeps around the PNW.

“Fiberglass Willys tub has brake master cylinder petals and steering column was going to use this and make a rat rod jeep but I Lost interest in it so this one needs to go”
This April 20, 1962, article in the La Habra Star highlighted Sam Winner, Frances Hughes, and Cruz Gomez, who had recently completed the two-day, 300 mile Hemet Run and camp-out. The planned to followed that up with the Indio Jeep Run in May.
Good photo of a stripped(?) jeep maneuvering a Hellcat aboard an aircraft carrier.

“1943 Press Photo Jeep toying US Navy Hellcat aboard an aircraft carrier. This is an original press photo. Autos – Jeeps – Somewhere off Wake Island – They say there’s nothing new under the sun, but here’s a picture of a Jeep, familiar to all as one of the most useful of the many instruments used in this war to date, at a novel task – that of jockeying a “Hellcat” aboard a carrier. This was one of the “flat tops” used to pummel the Japanese on Wake Island, October 5-6. Note two other similar ships in the distance Photo measures 8.5 x 6.5 inches. Photo is dated 10-15-1943.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $8000.
(10/25/2018) Appears solid, but seller indicates it could use some restoration.

“1948 Willys Jeepster–one of only 19,000 built from 1948-1950. One of the last American Pheatons produced. 4 cylinder motor, manual transmission, three on the tree. The original top is there, but needs to be replaced. Has original side curtains. This is a very restorable collectable. Very fun to drive and it drives real well.”
There’s a few jeeps in the collection. There are 44 vehicles, so the price doesn’t seem all that bad.

“All original, would be great for a restoration project. Was purchased with another CJ3B mid-restoration, thought I might need it for parts but would rather sell it and put the money toward my main project. Should run with a little time spent on maintenance. Would also consider trade for a Warn overdrive, large industrial air compressor, or other Willys Jeep parts/implements, (hard top, PTO winch, rear PTO transfer case, etc.) If you have Willys Jeep parts, let’s talk. Let me know if you have any questions.”
