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 .
UPDATE: Still Available.

“1953 CJ3B. I bought it reassembled the front axle and there it sits. It does not run. I haven’t started trying to figure out why”
I’m in Seattle for a few days helping my parents. Updates resume Monday.
“They Shall Not Grow Old” is the name of this unusual WWI documentary directed by Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings, etc) that’s being released to some theaters. It’s all made using restored/repair actual footage of WWI. They also employed professional lip readers in the hope of capturing the dialogue seen in the video clips. It’s all wound together with interviews of WWI soldiers in the 1960s/1970s.
Here’s a trailer for the movie:
And here’s a part that shows what the British troops though of German Soldiers:
Joe-in-Mesa’s daughter’s boyfriend’s father (way to suck him in Joe!) took this photo of a 1943 GPW dedicated to the memory of the Echeverria Field near Wickenburg, Arizona, and donated to the Wickenburg VFW. Obviously, it’s not a perfectly restored vehicle, but it does help provide a tangible memory for VFW visitors.
Joe searched and found a few more photos online:
Here’s the VFW where the jeep is located, though Google did not capture the jeep outside:
Here is some location information about the air field. The location was not available via Google maps, so this is a hacked together location image:
1951 view of the former air field:

Check out Derek’s Christmas Village article that features a jeep that seems a combination of a CJ-3B and a DJ-3A.

For comparison, here’s a recreated DJ-3A soft top:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
Looks like a good price.
“1955 Jeep M170 Field Ambulance – the stretched version of the standard jeep. Wheelbase like a Scrambler. Runs and drives great. This is as clean as any M170 you will ever find – they are rare and you just don’t see any in this condition for anywhere near this price. About 25,000 miles. All parts are original. Fun to drive and a great show or parade vehicle. Have Texas title, is licensed for 5 years.”
Travis shared this truck with a vintage service station look.

“Featuring the branding of the service shop that operated in, the seller notes that it was parked indoors every night up until 10 years ago. The body and frame are said to be remarkably intact despite also being a plow truck, and the seller has removed the plow attachment and related components. It has been repainted at least once, but the original service station graphics were preserved when the repaint commenced.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(12/15/2018) It runs.

“Bitchin’ old jeep for a ranch or a cool beach cruiser! Great Christmas Present and Project!
Has a running engine! New radiator, Thermostat, Water Pump, Ignition Switch, Ignition coil, Battery, Hoses & Filters and rebuilt Starter. It’s a project as it needs a brake system and seals. $4,200 into it this far.
Has been in my family for approximately 40 years. With no current registration and title, it comes with a Bill of Sale and DMV Transfer of Title Duplicate paperwork.
Hate to see it go but don’t have the time to get it operational in the near future.”
Runs and drives.

This appears to have a stainless rollbar.
