About eWillys
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.
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 .
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $5000. Includes what appears to be a Porter & Reed top.
(12/08/2018) It’s a project.
“1945 Willy’s Jeep project. Lots of good parts or builder original motor turns over and sounds good but doesn’t run.
No title and hasn’t been registered for over 10 years. Has a great hard top and doors all aluminum.”
UPDATE: Thanks to Blaine for locating a video and some pics!! The below video appeared on this website:
Below is a brochure for Villa Gesell, a resort city founded by Don Carlos Gesell. The brochure was posted to this page, one that includes many pictures, some with jeeps. That could be Don Carlos himself in the driver’s seat of the jeep, but I can’t possibility say it.
This shows Don Carlo’s former jeep. The buyer of it is seated in the jeep. More information here.
Original Post 12/31/2018: Moncholo Deniz shared these pics of a monument to Don Carlos Gesell, founder of Villa Gesell in Argentina (map & history). The monument includes his dog Fifi. Not sure why the sculpture had to include a shovel in the top bow holders.
I tried to locate pics of Don Carlos in a CJ-2A, but couldn’t find any online.
