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 $800

The owner of this BBQ restaurant in Grapevine was a retired cop who had never worked in a restaurant before launching his BBQ restaurant. Last fall he had someone build a custom smoker that looks like a train. Here he is explaining how it works. Despite it being the hardest job he’s ever had, he loves running the restaurant.
Ann’s grandfather took a turn for the worse. After I watched her stress eat two bags (small bags) of M&Ms I knew it was time to send her back home for a few days. So, she arrived in Pasco Thursday evening.
After dropping Ann at the airport I left for Bowie, TX.
Prior to her departure, we attempted to accomplish one thing. We wanted to see the cowboy glockspiel in the town of Grapevine. The cowboy glockspiel is a clock tower. At certain times of the day, two automatronic cowboys appear on the tower and engage in a gunfight. I’m told one always dies, but never the same one. The death is chosen at random by a computer.
We arrived in Grapevine at 11:30am, all ready to watch the gunfight unfold. It turned out we arrived as the town was readying itself for their annual beer celebration. So, there was a great deal of hustle and some bustle all through town.
Yes, lots of hustle and bustle in town, but not evident at all in this photo of downtown.
Seth found this rare ad. The Gala rented for $6 a day. Looks to be actually a surrey.
Has plenty of footman loops on the hood. Looks solid.

“For sale is an extremely clean 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A. This Willys Jeep came from Tucson, Arizona where the original owner purchased it new in 1948 and lived there until he decided to sell it to a gentleman in New Mexico over 10 years ago. After the Jeep came to New Mexico it had an older restoration done back in 2004. Soon after the Jeep was restored the owner drove it, and used it pretty regular so It’s not in show room quality anymore, but it’s still in amazing shape for its age. It has the original and very reliable 4-134 L Head Go-Devil engine that was completely rebuilt and runs excellent, also this Jeep is still running the original 6 Volt electrical system with a brand new battery that works flawlessly.
Lots of diamond plate. Not a bad job on the bed.
“We are moving and have decided to sale this old truck. The truck was running last year but needs the carborator cleaned and some new gas. Not sure if it needs a new carborator or not because it has been setting for over a year. We had it 90% restored a few years back. We also have a 1958 Jeep Willy’s for parts that we will let go with the sale of the 1963. All parts on 1958 can be used on 1963. The 1958 (parts truck) is missing the bed to the truck but has motor. The 1963 (Truck shown in pictures) has it’s original Title and still has the original drive train so top speed is about 45mph. It also has a custom galvanized bed that is specified to the original bed that came on the original truck. The engine is a Super Hurricane 232 flathead 6 cylinder. The original mileage is shown in the photo of the speedometer. Serious inquiries only!”

Seth spotted this ad. If you are looking for some Kaiser cars, there are a few for sale. There’s also a CJ-3B behind the Jeepster, but I didn’t see a reference about it for sale.

“1958 Willy’s Jeep Flatbed with lumber rack. Jeep was put away running good approximately 25 years ago. The jeep has a power take off that was used for drilling post holes as well as other duties.
I am selling it for my dad who says that it was referred to as a three wheel drive with posi-track. He always said it could climb a tree. It is all original, appears that someone stole badges from hood and gauge from inside (not sure which). Has good glass. Overall pretty straight and has the expected rust for this model. Asking $1,400 OBO. Clean title.”
