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 $100.
Looks like a good price.
“Old metal top for early jeep needs some tlc $100”
It’s a project. Seller lists it as a 1941.
“Great project for the family.
For sale 1941 Willys Jeep, original parts, needs put together. Motor and transmission are already on the frame. This Jeep has been through 3 generations, but ran out of time. Would hate to not see this thing not returned to its original potential.”

Good thing I was there to keep her from getting beamed up! I’d miss my travel partner.
Today we drove from Ely to Laughlin (see Yesterday’s post). We hadn’t planned to go that far, but hotels/motels in Vegas on Saturday night were expensive, while Laughlin was dirt cheap. And, since we’d never been there, we decided this was the opportune time!
We drove from Ely to Laughlin.
Our first objective of the day was a visit to the Ward Charcoal ovens. To reach them, we drove south on highway 50, a road that spans the width of Nevada and once called the loneliest road in America by Life Magazine. Just past Ely, we turned onto a dirt road and followed it for ten miles or so. As usual, when we arrived, we had the place to ourselves.
The ovens were constructed in the late 1800s to turn wood into charcoal for fuel in nearby smelters. When coke replaced charcoal, they were then used as, among other things, places to stay for sheep herders and cowboys. Finally, the area was turned into a state park. The ovens were much larger and in better shape than the one’s we’d seen yesterday in Utah.
History of the ovens.
How they make charcoal.
The six ovens all lined up. The setting was georgeous.
Scott shared this cool little video.
Great photo.
“This Auction is for one WWII US Press photo GI’s in Jeep Description on back Italy 1944 . The photo is about 4 1/2 by 6 3/4 inches in size. Shows age, , wear, yellowing ,Description on back ,. I used a transparency with the word original to preserve the uniqueness of the photo when I scanned it .”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $16,500. Now listed here:
(03/13/2016) Looks like a well-modified wagon.
“’52 Willys Station Wagon, 383 Chev. engine with 350 turbo, 10 bolt Chev. rea end. Rack ad Pinion steering, tilt steering wheel, A/C. Silver and lavender apint, lavender upholstery.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000.
A great example of how a “Tender” might have looked had Willys Motors built one, though the bumpers would have been chrome. As we’ve learned, these appear to have been modified wagons. The best way to tell would be to remove the material under the top and look for a welded seam.
“1954 Willys Jeep four wheel drive Super Hurricane straight 6 cylinder motor pick up .Very rare uniside bed sides probably one of very few left in existence. I was told this could be one of very first 1954 willys off assembly line due to 0001 vin number
Frame off restoration including all mechanics and body restored done about 15 years ago but still looks and drives great, some pitting on chrome and a few scratches and chips on paint not perfect but real nice.
At time of restoration 15 years ago
rebuilt motor

This truck is center of attention wherever it goes , most people have never seen another one”

This may be worth a look.
