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 .
Seems worth a look. Thanks to TJ for sharing it.

“Jeep that runs and drives. Have a rebuilt second motor that will need finished to go with it. Flat head 4 with T90 transmission. Tough but would make an amazing vintage vehicle. Got it running and that was my goal”
UPDATE: Blaine confirms this was Dan’s car previously. It did not reach the reserve, with bids maxing out at $43,000.
Blaine spotted this 1962 Willys convertible Interlagos, which sits as $23,000 with 3 hours left in the Bring-A-Trailer auction.
You can see pics of this car from the post of our visit with Dan back in 2014: http://www.ewillys.com/2014/04/13/day-24-apr-12th-dans-fcs-and-the-scared-romanian/ . He was pretty sure it was the only convertible Interlagos in the US.

Over the past couple of days I’ve turn my attention to the disaster that is the ‘jeep’ office. My library of non jeep books and jeep books and jeep toys and other jeep stuff has remained mostly stored for the past two years in this tiny office that’s part of the shop. This is one room that has undergone almost no remodeling … and it shows.
I’ve made some progress (just putting up the books and binders in bookcases has made a difference. One of the side benefits of doing this is finding stuff that I have yet to post, such as the pics and Boyertown Economy Delivery brochure below …
One of the jeep photos appears to have a plate dated 1958, so that’s how I am dating this package.
This photo of Norman’s Amoco gas station and garage in Akron, Ohio, includes three CJ-2As with modified bumpers. However, note the “Norman’s” sign. I think that is a neon sign and I’m wondering if that jeep lit up at night. If so, that would a pretty awesome sign!
Here’s a closeup of the sign:
Here’s a closeup of the middle jeep:
UPDATE: I’ve updated this post with a higher quality scan of this brochure.
This is the early 1954 version of truck brochure with the KW stamp, form SD-203-4. It’s the only example I’ve been able to find. The subsequent version, form W-203-5, with a green theme is more commonly found online.
Matt was kind enough to share this rare Station Wagon Sales Kit he procured. You can see all the pics here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2382510764/permalink/10159709375710765
This slide just sold on eBay for $9.25 (+$4 shipping). It’s a great pic of s Surrey parked in front of the ocean. Someone more familiar with Oahu may recognize that location.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9000.
Wow, this M-676 appears to have the original Navy lettering on the doors! Engine is siezed.
“This old Jeep was a Navy truck. Has a 3 cylinder supercharged diesel engine. The engine is seized it has been sitting awhile. Has been equipped with an over drive on the transfer case. Was bought for parts but it’s too nice to take apart. Does not have a title. These are hard to find. Make an offer.”
Mark shared this ad. Over all, this looks solid. It likely have a replacement body, as it lacks the faux battery box lid. It does have reverse front springs, so the frame may be original. This also has the King Seely 0-10 early speedometer, which only came with CJ-5s. This does lack the PTO bar in the rear. I think to secure the windshield it is using the Advance Adapter latch kit.

“Full nut bolt restoration”
Bill shared this one. It runs, so there should be value here.

“NEEDS PAINT AND TLC. RUNS

This has a new steel body.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/802801271457934/
“All original 6 volt but was in the process of changing to 12 volt. New steel body from Toledo. First year of the Hurricane 4 cylinder with overhead valves. Frame, engine and transmission were powder coated. Rhino lined on bottom and inside the tub. New wheels and tires. New top in a box has never been installed. Lots of extra parts including original honeycomb radiator.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $9500.
I believe this is Al’s CJ-3B. If so, the Bobcat hood is one he made from the Bobcat/Parkette molds we owned together. He was a straight shooter in all my dealings with him.
