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 .
It’s listed as a 1948 CJ-3A.

“Fun offroad toy. Ready to run anywhere (literally) . Looking to trade it. Would be interested in a side by side 4×4 utility type. Like a John Deere Gator or Kawi Mule type sxs. Also interested in trading for a K10 square body chevy short box Also hot rods, running or projects of equal value. No bikes. Edit: this is an offroad rock crawler. Comes with bill of sale only. Do not expect to drive this home”
It’s a project.

“Clean frame and body with new paint. This is a great clean slate for someone looking to finish where I started. I have a brand new wheel bearing set, new brakelines installed and a whole new exhaust system for it. Also included is a Walcks Wiring Harness and some other goodies. Everything is there, transmission is in perfect shape, transfer case too. Engine needs a complete rebuild. Brand new Corbeau seats, still have all additional parts needed to put the jeep back together minus some hardware and engine components. Like new STA NDT tires on original rims. OBO, title in hand must pick up”
Though it shows the chassis with a body, the sale does not include the body.

Not sure how much value is here.

UPDATE: Someone pointed me in the direction of this Walter Baumhofer CJ-3B calendar image (I can’t remember who, but please take credit in the comments).
There’ s no name associated with this one. At 16″ x 12″, it’s a little smaller than Emmett Watson’s “Jeepers” print. You can see more of Walter’s work over at the CJ-3B page.
Original Post (11/19/2018): Robin recently purchased this Walter M. Baumhofer illustration at an auction. It’s titled “Self Appreciation”. According to intelligentcollector.com, Walter was one of the most prolific Adventure Pulp artists out there. Among other prolific pulp adventure artists mention in the article is Emmett Watson.
Funny how both Emmett’s illustration Jeepers and Walter’s image has two men, a jeep, a tent, a red blanket, and three bears. I find that a big coincidence.
