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 .
Andy spotted this ad that was listed about a year ago on FB. So, who knows if they are still there or not. At least one is a dually.

“This is for (3) F170 Jeeps Not sure of the years. Not in real good condition but is still lots of good left. None are running and no titles”
This eight-page issue of Jeep News, volume 9 number 6, begins on page one with a few plugs for The Greatest Show on Earth.
Page two plugs a completed Jeep race out of Michigan, hosted by the Michigan Four Wheelers Club of Dearborn. Page three highlights, once again, The Greatest Show on Earth.
Pages four and five share images of jeeps from around the world. It also includes a short note about the annual ‘Jeep’ Caravan to the Gila Cliff Dwellings. Page six includes a nod to the Sussex County Jeepster Club out of New Jersey, along with a story about the development of a mobile camera tied to a CJ-3B. The Jeeporama out of Boulder, Colorado, fills the entirety of page seven. The issue ends on page eight with two stories of jeeps in the Peace Corps.
The more I read these Jeep Service and Parts News issues, the less they look like news and the more they look like reminders to Sell, Sell, Sell! (See “The Parts Department Manager” on page four). It’s not that there isn’t a place for encouraging selling for this department, but whether it belongs in a news bulletin is less clear to me.
In the “not all air bath cleaners are made the same department”, the note on the lower right portion of page four highlights a new air bath cleaner for the FC-150 that includes “a water deflector to eliminate the possibility of water entering the air cleaner from the back of the fire wall”.
Here’s a good price on three FC-150 and one wagon postcards. That’s a buy-it-now price.

“4 Vintage post cards. 3 fold outs for the Jeep truck. One for the wagon, which is a standard card.”
This model identification poster is almost 3’x4′. This isn’t one I’ve seen very often.

The description doesn’t mention the midget car, but the ad includes six pics of the car itself, so my guess is that the car is included in the sale.

“The FC150 features a unique cab-over-engine design, where the driver and front passenger sit directly above the front axle, maximizing the cargo space and maneuverability.

“This Willys 1947 CJ2A is the first civilian jeep after WWII.
The body was removed and separated into components-fenders,
hood, grill, windshield.
The floor channels were replaced with new ones.
The yellow color is as original. Because the components
were painted separately, the yellows tend to not match.
The motor, transmission, and transfer case were rebuilt.
The tires are new 600×16 white walls.
It has new seat covers by Beachwood Canvas.
It has a new roll bar.
A hard cab is available for purchase ($500.00).”

(01/14/2024) Thanks to Mike for sharing this Fresno-area modified flat fender. It’s got the stylish doors, the muller top, and many other updates. Note the care taken to build the front drive shaft around the automatic transmission.
