About eWillys
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.
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 .
“his is a trailer sold through Willys jeep dealers from the late 40’s through the early 50’s.
It is made by “Spen trailer company”. This is NOT a Bantam trailer, but it is much like one. I bought it with hopes to restore it and use it with my CJ2A, but I don’t have the time. It is in poor shape.
Unfortunatly I dont have any paper work for it.
Please call only during daylight hours. lower cash offers in person only please.”
“1946 Willy’s Cj2a. Needs restored solid good axles tranny still has flat head 4 which is complete. Would be great project or if you need parts to finish one this would be it. Been in a warehouse for 6 years. It looks weird used to be camo and has been primed. $1500 firm not anything less sorry.”
Chris is selling these hoods. The price looks good.
“I have various willys hoods from CJ2A’s CJ3B’s and CJ5’s. I will be in Toledo this coming weekend 5-30-15 picking up numeous parts and would like to sell as many of these hoods as possible. I do plan on keeping the Willy’s Wagon hoods in the pics provided. PLEASE NOTE:

I am selling the hoods for $35 each hood. Please be aware you will have to pick these up on-site at location 562 South Reynolds Rd, Toledo OH 43615. Also, you will need to pick up between 9am and 12noon.”
“Over this Memorial Day weekend, consider buying yourself the quintessential American vehicle that won WWII. With a very heavy heart I have decided to part with my jeep. I did a complete restoration on this jeep back in the late 90’s, had it in several Petaluma Veteran’s Day Parades, and used it as a regular driver for a long time. I drove the hell out of it, so much so that it needed to go through another rebuild.
“Last chance….one day only May 23rd before I load it to tow out of Texas…
Dropping price for quick sale….this project is 70-80% complete. I am prepared to move it out of state, but will sell to a serious buyer who wants a cool old Willys that can be used as a toy not a parade prop.
Serious buyers only. Cash is king. Most recent photos first Continue reading →
After spending the weekend celebrating Ann’s son’s high school graduation, we left Omaha on Monday bound for Colorado. However, we decided to make one stop on the way at a place called Pioneer Village in Minden, Nebraska.
Today we drove from Omaha, Nebraska, to Golden, Colorado, with a stop at the Pioneer Village in Minden, Nebraska.
If you have ever driven through the middle of Nebraska on I-80 you’ve probably seen worn signs in dire need of paint advertising the Pioneer Village. The signage is unimpressive and left us with the impression that they might be relics of a place that no longer exists. However, after seeing a couple signs, we looked up the place and discovered that, indeed, it still exists. Even better, the reviews were generally positive.
We arrived to find a dated brick building. In the front windows paper letters ‘welcomed’ us. There weren’t many vehicles parked nearby, so we parked right in front of the entrance door. There wasn’t much to give us confidence. However, once we paid the entry fee and walked into the first large space, we could tell it would be a cool experience. There were cars and planes everywhere.
When we exited the first building, we walked into a large outdoor area with buildings set up around a circle. The represented the ‘old village’ part of Pioneer Village.
On Tuesday, we headed into the Rocky Mountains. We were barely in the jeep a few minutes before spotting a M-677 and an FC cab being towed westward from Denver on I-70. I guess it means that this M-677 is sold! During the subsequent hour of driving toward Fairplay, Colorado, we saw a CJ-5, a truck, a CJ-3B, a CJ-2A, and others. It was a good day for jeep-sight seeing!
Today we drove from Golden, Colorado, to Dillon, Colorado.
Our first destination today was South Park City in Fairplay, Colorado. It’s a recreated 1880s mining town with more than 30 antique buildings. We pretty much had the run of the place to ourselves, with a cat as a guide through much of it. He seemed to enjoy the company. If you like old towns, then you will enjoy this one, too.
There were two long boardwalks on each side of Main street.
David at the Assay office; holding some rocks seemed like the thing to do.
Inside of the Assay office. There was lots of stuff to examine!
This July 15, 1945, article in the Milwaukee Journal is another example of the 1945 promotional campaign by Willys Overland. A second article also addresses the question of what to do with all the surplus equipment.
