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 .
Guy forwarded several links that highlight a trove of military photos from Miliblog.com.

Craig posted this photo from Alaska to the FC Forum that shows an FC trapped among some trees … or perhaps encouraging their growth.
This June 1956 issue of Willys News covers the increasing role of DJs and delivery vehicles.
UPDATE: this photo was listed on Ebay.
This July 18, 1945, photo shows Charles Sorenson with T. L. Soong, brother of the Chinese prime minister, talking after the unveiling of the CJ-2A at Cesor Farms in Detroit.

Here’s a very rare Hamilton pedal jeep.
“This came from the same estate as the great bicycles that I have posted. The condition is very good with no rust or major dents. It is missing only the hood ornament and has a folding windshield. It is all original paint and lettering. This is a rare maker.”
UPDATE: Was $3350. **SOLD**

(11/08/2014) Looks like a fun rig.
“The previous owner told me this rig was custom built in the late 1960’s as a no-kidding Sand Dune racer.
It’s incredibly fast! It will hold 65 MPH up Vail Pass on I-70 while barely touching the gas. The v8 motor is very strong, but when you combine it with such a small / light vehicle, it’s just crazy. The motor fires right up and is very strong, doesn’t burn any oil.
I believe it is a reproduction CJ3A steel body and not original Willys. I do have a clear Colorado title in my name. The bottom of the “tophat” channels underneath the tub are rusted, but the actual tub pan itself is very clean, and the frame is clean and solid.
The paint job is probably 20 years old, so is faded but still looks okay. I can’t stop for gas or pull up to a stoplight without someone drooling over it or asking questions.
Looks solid.
“title in hand. NO TRADES. please no emails asking if i have it. if you are reading this ad, i still have it. There are 3 on ebay- one for $17,500 one for $23,000 and one for $30,000”

(09/20/2014) Looks like a nice wagon. Seller is having an ignition problem, but it does run. It may only be for sale through the weekend.
“ok so here’s the deal. I posting my wagon for sale through the weekend because quite frankly I’m frustrated. It has a 1970 ford 250 L6 with clifford headers and T90 3 speed with overdrive and twin stick transfer case that where both recently (less then a year ago) rebuilt. Just had all new leaf springs, shackels and shocks put on. I started having ignition problems a couple weeks ago and, not being terribly mechanically inclined, especially with electronics, I don’t want to deal with it right now. I just put in a new pertrnix electric points and flame thrower coil, all new plug wires and distributor cap. Until this it was my daily driver and is a blast to drive. It IS running right now but I don’t know that I would trust it to drive very far. it has some other non mechanical issues that are fairly simple, needs the speedometer/gauge cluster repaired or replaced, about a hundred bucks for a new replacement, the drivers door handles needs to be replaced, all the parts for which are easily available on E bay. It has some rust as would be expected on a car this old and it needs a U joint to put the front drive line back in. I was planning on replacing the pulley system windshield wipers(which has been converted to electric) to individual motors. I also have a bunch of random extra parts. Really, for someone with some mechanical skills this could be a damn nice rig fairly easily. get it before I change my mind…”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
(10/23/2014) Looks good.
