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 .
I didn’t know much about Jamie Farr (Klinger on the show M*A*S*H) and his connection with jeeps. Here’s an interesting story about him in Motor Authority.
This vehicle, dubbed a “Super” Jeep, was featured on the cover of Mechanic Illustrated magazine in April of 1968. Unfortunately, the article provides very little information. Hopefully, this is still sitting in someones garage, somewhere.
Charles Bachman wrote a testimonial for Willys-Overland for his Parkhurst Motors company out of Syracuse, New York. The accompanying photo is interesting as it has a mid-mounted spare tire.
Another installment of my series on how to assemble Koenig stuff. These instructions help guide the installation of a Koenig 3J90 bed extender.
Chuck shared this customized and stretched truck. It’s expensive, but it would be even more expensive if you had to build it your self.

This 1955 Jeep Willys Truck is a ONE OF A KIND, you will NEVER find one like this again. This beauty was completely CUSTOM BUILT! The truck combines the iconic look of the Willys with modern touches of the 1999 GMC 3500.
The frame of the truck is from a 1999 GMC Silverado 3500 dually. The body of the Willys was elongated to fit the Dually frame, with all original Willys parts. The interior was completely restore with Buick Rivieria front seats, and custom built bench seats in the rear.
This truck was built, to tow like a 3500 and daily drive like a GMC. You won’t believe how smooth the ride is!
This build took over 1.5 years and involved over $110,000 invested.

Tom shared this 3B. The hood scoops(?) are an interested addition.

Chuck shared this nice looking Nissan Patrol. Strangely, it has a Utah plate on the front and an NC plate on the back.
“The Nissan Patrol’s legend was shaped by drivers in some of the world’s most inhospitable places. It quickly built its reputation as a tough, reliable and innovative addition to the motoring industry. This real man’s truck became iconic, lauded for its tough nature and undying loyalty to those who drove it.
This is one truck that people will stop, turn around and come back to look at it. They have never seen one in their life. I get more reactions from this truck than from my two previous Toyota Land Cruisers – FJ40 and FJ43. One thing I can say for sure is that the build quality and the ride are way better than the Toyota FJ40. The Nissan Patrol was a very expensive truck back when it came out, more expensive than the Toyota.
This particular truck is a very rare long wheel base version that never came to the States, with a 4-speed manual transmission (a lot only came with 3-speed). The manual steering is superb compared to the FJ40; it is very easy to maneuver this truck. The 4×4 works great.
The odometer currently reads 66,000 kms or 41,000 miles, but it probably turned over once, so I woud assume it has 166,000 kms or 103,000 miles. This classic 4×4 starts up with the first turn of the key and purrs like a kitten. The 4.0L inline 6-cylinder engine is smoother and stronger than the competition. This vehicle was legally imported from South America.”
Has lots of modifications.

I imagine there are not too many trucks left along the beaches of Southern California.
“I’m selling my 1959 Willys Truck to make room for another project car. I has a Chevy 350 mated to a Borgwarner T-10 4 speed manual transmission and original 2 speed transfer case. Locking hubs work well, engine runs great and it has been very reliable. Has a couple spots of rust here and there but is very solid.”
