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: **Status Unknown**. Was listed at $4500.

Roy shared a link on Facebook’s Jeep Thing. It was part of a Desert Queen Ranch at Joshua Tree National Park. If you want to see the jeep in person make sure to get reservations, because you have to be part of a guided tour.
Here’s a neat link that shows a panorama which includes the jeep. Below is a partial photo from that panorama. It’s a perspective you don’t normally see.
This late 1940s(?) photo shows a Navy Shore-Patrol jeep leading a truck carrying a Seahawk through the streets of china. These planes are being shipped from Shanghai to Kiangwan Air Base.

I’ve been polishing an article related to the O.E.Szekely and Associates Mobile Auxiliary Power Unit. One of the interesting things that this brochure from a late 1940s Willys Overland Equipment Book notes is that there are two types of Units. The “B” unit is designed for aircraft service and produces only DC power (28 1/2 volts), while the “C” unit produced DC and AC.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2400.
This looks great for the price. I wonder if it runs? No description provided.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
Here’s a reasonable package.
“1952 WILLYS JEEP ON 1963 CHASSIS. Over $7100.00 in receipts, at least $1,000.00 more work done without reciepts. Included are two parts jeeps. One of the parts jeeps has a clear California title on a rolling frame. The other parts jeep is just for body parts. The engine in the jeep now is from the parts jeep. It runs and you can drive it but it is not street legal. Not inspected. It needs turn signals and brake lights. The engine from the original jeep has been completely rebuilt bored .030 over. I’m just waiting on the new water pump to arrive to complete this rebuilt engine. The new engine has been test run. New upolstery, paint, rebuilt transmission, etc. The tires are like new, including the spare. It is registered until 2014. I have a clear blue title in my name. There is enough spares to build a complete second jeep. The engine is a Jeep 230 tornado. 4 wheel drive. The body has been modified to make a good hunting jeep. One of the parts jeeps in the pictures has all the wood parts removed and is now a rolling chassis with transmission. Located in San Leon TX close to Kemah and Bacliff on Galveston Bay. Open to trades. Would like a pickup or older Suburban . But let me know what you have. If you see this ad they are still for sale. $3,500.00 for all 3 jeeps.
UPDATE: Still Available
