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: **SOLD** Was $6500.
(11/16/2018) It still needs some work.
“This is a rare mostly complete and original project truck that runs, drives and stops. This forward control jeep has a 6 cylinder super hurricane flathead. I believe a t90 3 speed trans and of course all the 4×4 parts. I do have cab motor covers and seats (not matching).

Maury has created the most extensive Warn history that I have seen to date. He just uncovered some additional Warn brochures and has wound them into his already extensive history here:
Below are a couple of interesting ones he’s added. First, this approximately 1953 sales sheet seems to target potential resellers of Warn Hubs (around early 1955 Warn moved to selling hubs only through Willys dealers). I had not idea Warn was advertising in ten different magazines by 1953.
This next brochure is actually a testimonial for Warn. However, it’s hard to read, so I’ve broken it up into sections at the bottom of the post.
Here’s the same brochure lightened and separated for easier reading (sorry the colors aren’t better):
UPDATE: Opening date for the Museum of Off Road Adventure was moved to Thursday December 6th.
Original post Apr. 20th, 2018: Ted spotted this article on Hemmings about a new Museum called the Museum of Off Road Adventure in Clay Township, Michigan.

(10/26/2018) Looks in good shape.

“Documented frame off restoration and 12 volt done by previous owner. Always stored indoors.
It started right up and idles properly after two years of sitting. The known issues:
Pops out of 2nd gear, leaks at rear diff seal and maybe rear seal on engine.
Also this time around the brake pedal goes to the floor so brakes not operating.
Engine serial does not match. This rig needs attention, I’m not a mechanic.
You will need to trailer it away. Collector plates, $9,000.00 cash no counter offers please.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $14,900.
Looks nice.
“All ORIGINAL 1959 CJ6 JEEP with only 17,000 miles. Original Green Metallic Paint, very RARE to find a Jeep in this condition. Ownership paper included.”
None are complete, but there could be value in the parts, given that one engine has been overhauled.

“1948 Willy’s Jeep. Take a look at the pictures to see what is included in this sale. There are three tubes, three windshield frames, two sets of front fenders, two hoods, three frames, two front axles, two rear axles, one transmission that needs overhauled. There are two motors, one overhauled, and one that has not been overhauled.”
Appears in good shape.
