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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $200.
“Set of Cooper stt tires on aluminum turbine wheels with 5×5.5 lug pattern, two tires are real good, two are wore more on inside.”

(10/28/2013) This is probably a DJ-3A body that’s been transferred to a 4wd platform.

My GI-Joe gun never went “BAM!”.
Marc found this unusual Willys export truck with extra carrying capacity. I thought it was a refrigeration unit of some kind, but the side reads “Pocket Testament Leage”. Maybe it is a variant of the Sprecksell body (see brochure in post below).
“Vintage 1948 Real Picture Post Card of two Chinese men from the Pocket Testament League posing with a Willys Jeep Panel truck or van. The condition is good with some loss to the front…you still get the idea. Great addition to any collection.”

It looks like this matches the standard design layout of the truck nicely.
I’ve never seen an original version of this press photo from February 6, 1941. Great photo! The use of the term “Might Midget” rather than jeep or blitz buggy is notable.
“This is an original press photo. Dept- US Army Service Corps, Credit – ACME & NEAPhoto measures 9 x 7inches. Photo is dated 02-6-1941.”

UPDATE: Blaine forwarded the video for the Mini-Beep:
Struck-Kit offers what they call a Mini-Beep Kit, which you can use to build mini jeep-like vehicles. You can even build an amphibious version.

I guess there’s a reason no one has wanted to bid $.99 for this . . .
“Excellent condition. Large logo on the front chest. Adult XL.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This isn’t perfect, but it has a great vintage feel with the old top and posse tag. There are several Douglas Counties in different states, but I’m guessing this was from Nevada?

It’s not all stock, but has potential.
“1945 Willy’s Army Jeep
Daily Driver with a 1970’s restoration
Owned since the 1980’s
Was a radio jeep with capacitor box under dash on passenger side and a junction box for batteries right side of passenger seat
Has the Original canvas top, steering wheel, gauges, chassis, body, fire extinguisher and lined battle helmet. The canvas top has a tear on top and where it connects to the drivers side area
Missing the gas tank, the vehicle was operated with a plastic gas tank in back of vehicle like a small boat. Also missing is the 6 volt battery….the car is started with a 12 volt battery then disconnected when driven. There are some extra parts in back along with original issue tail lights
There is a clear title showing ownership from the 1980’s to present
This vehicle has been garaged on and off in it’s life ….looks like it just came off the battle field now.
Everything works except the gas gauge due to no gas tank
The engine smokes a little now.
If you can send me a digital address…..I can send a few video’s (AVI)of the jeep running and the engine sounds.”
