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 .
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.

UPDATE: **SOLD**
Craig spotted this one. Could be a good project.
“1950 Willys Jeep Pickup Truck. Has xx,xxx miles on the body. Engine has been swapped to more reliable Ford 302. Currently runs, drives, and stops. Body was recently resanded and prepped for Black Epoxy Primer. Bed has been done in “Rhino Liner” type material. Lift Kit. New gas tank. Brand new mud/snow tires. 4wd works, just need the driveshaft hooked up. Locking hubs upgraded to Warn Premium Hubs. I did not do the engine swap. Bed is not original (rhino liner type), part of a kit. Great project for somebody. Email me for videos and more specific pictures. I have title. $3,500 obo, not looking for trades, low ballers, or tire kickers.”
UPDATE: **Sold** Was $8000.
(08/21/2015) Not a great paint job, but it appears solid otherwise.
“1958 Willys Jeep Truck – Clean title
The drive train has been maintained as a daily driver for the past 3 years. It is licensed and inspected.
This has NOT been re-powered. It is all original and easy to get parts for.”
