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 neat vintage ad from the Toledo Blade, December 28, 1958, tries to root the jeep in wooden rollers and early wagons.

Some folks were interested in more photos of the Smokey Bear Music Box, so Marty Tilford shared some good photos of his.
The music box is a convertible CJ-5 jeep and Smokey Bear with 2 cubs riding inside. The CB radio cord is rubber but all other material is resin. Music box plays “TAKE ME HOME COUNTRY ROAD”, which is a John Denver song. Measures about 4-1/2″ tall and has a base measurement of 6″ x 4″.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The seller notes the tire is brand new. I’ve never seen a desert dog quite like this one. It looks more road friendly with a tighter tread. Seller only has one of these for sale.
“Up for sale is a NEW Formula Tire 11-15LT Desert Dog Outline White Letter.
One tire is available.
Older stock.
Shipping FED EX Ground to continental USA.”
Looks in good shape.

(12/28/2014) Looks like a good 3B. Some matching rims would help.

It looks like someone added a draw bar to the rear of the jeep.

“The body on this Jeep is very solid it does need a new head gasket the head is loose on the engine. The original color is Normandy blue, but it is currently black in color. It is missing the seats. I am NOT interested in any trades of any sort.I can’t get any good pictures of the vehicles as its in a dark section of the barn.”
