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 .
Has a non-running V6.
“Obo. Buick v6. Was running but sat for years. Needs new tires, I’ll get her running for serious buyers”

It hasn’t run in almost a decade.
“It has been sitting under a tarp for the last 8 years as I was not in the geographical area. The front horns of the frame were replaced, could be done better or replaced. It has a 4 inch rancho lift kit. Front locking hubs, I think the top is still in good condition it has the doors as well. It does not have the original seats, 33 X 12.50 tires I am not sure on the condition of the tires. It has been converted to 12 volt and has a AM/FM radio. The jeep is not running and will need to moved with a trailer. Must have the ability to move it. Cash offers only. I am not in a hurry to sell.”

Both are projects.
“1948 CJ3A Jeep, V6, 4wd with lots of large accessory parts. And two upholstered seats.
Also comes with another Jeep:
1946 CS2A frame roller.
These are both project Jeeps.
I’m asking $3500 for both. One runs and one starts but is a project.”

UPDATE: Mac’s Motor City Garage published a post on the Aluminum Alcoa Jeepster. Two or three were made. Only one is known to survive according to Jim Allen.

There will be limited posts on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for sure and maybe Monday. We are camping as part of a wedding in the hills of Eastern Oregon near this location and my mobile broadband wireless hotspot isn’t working well at all. Even my phone calls aren’t working well. At least it is beautiful up here … except for the rain.
This Jeep Equipment book looks like it was from the early 1960s, given the photo of the CJ-5 with the fake battery box lid. .
Chris will be leaving Minnesota on Friday June 16th bound for Utah, before heading north to visit his brother Todd in Idaho. If anyone needs any parts or jeeps transported, let him know via nscustoms@hotmail.com or through his vintage jeep parts Facebook group. I’ll be meeting up with Chris Monday at noon in Sandpoint to pick up some parts.
Joe in Mesa forwarded this article posted at Core77, an industrial design website, about crated jeeps. Not a perfect article regarding jeeps, but it does have good photos and a video, one of which I’ve posted below. The Core77 site is an interesting one to explore.

Lacks steps, but runs.
“Runs good. Extras included: hitch, plow, etc.”
