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 .

This weekend racers from the Pacfic Northwest will sharing their love of jeep racing with attendees of a monster truck event. He writes, the Pnw4wda competition has been invited to be part of the Monster jam show at the Tacoma Dome this weekend. We will be part of the preshow doing barrels. We will be having 12 race rigs in each show. 1 show Friday, 2 shows Saturday and 1 show Sunday. This will be our 4th year that we have been invited to race with them.
Here’s a look at a past race. They do a two barrel rather than a three barrel race for space reasons.
A February 1956 article in Willys News told the story of a special promotion in Wenatchee, Washington. Drivers who brought their jeeps could get into the local baseball game for free.
Great press photo.

Marc pointed out that these soldiers are wearing British style helmets. It also looks like one of the jeeps doesn’t have a glove box, indicating it is possibly a slat grille. I did a couple searches, but couldn’t locate the Grand Hotel Du Pacifique.
“WWII U.S. ARMY PHOTO OF MB GPW JEEPS WITH 37MM GUN AND 1 1/2 TON CHEVY 4X4 TRUCK. This is a (U.S. ARMY SIGNAL CORPS) photo copy made from the original negative at the National Archives 25 years ago. This is a nice sharp 8″ x 10″ in excellent condition.”

UPDATE: Was $5000. **SOLD**
It’s called the “Biff Bus”.
“1963 Jeep Fleet Van FJ3-A. Cute as can be, very rare, and a great conversation piece! Many people have stopped and asked me what kind of vehicle it is! 15 years ago it had a 1973 4 cylinder Pinto 2.0 engine transplant, and in 2007 a professionally rebuilt transmission by Marty’s Transmission of Portland. I have owned it for 28 years and have driven it very little since 2007 and did use it for an ice cream truck for about 7 years, and it has been in several parades. Its size is 12 ft. long, 5 ft. wide, and 7 ft. tall. The reason for selling it is that I have to find a happy new home for my beloved Biff Bus, as it is affectionately called. It has power brakes, an electric cooling fan for the engine, a nice array of marker and clearance lights, and a cassette car stereo. Some things on it that need work are: it needs a new alternator, has a little surface rust on the side and rear doors, and it needs new tags. $5,000 firm and no trades.”
UPDATE: Was $1900. **SOLD**
This later model CJ-3B has the large speedometer.
“Jeep Willis runs drives excellent, engine has been rebuilt, good brakes, drives good on the road or in the woods.”
