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 .
In July 1943 the Ordnance Department released a jeep to the Washington State College (now University) for farm testing. A year later the College produced a bulletin titled “The Jeep as a Farm Truck-Tractor for the Post-War Period.” Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a copy of that document online. But there’s a hard copy at the WSU library (which is only a couple hours from me). Anyone have copy of that?
In August of 1944 the Spokesman Review published this article based on the information.
This CJ-5 is shown navigating a closed road in 1973.

This Fire truck looks to be Jim Dobson’s FC. In the newest ad, there have been firetrucks from Dobson’s Antique Toy and Firehouse Museum that are now for sale. You might have remembered our visit to the museum in 2013.

Here are some other vehicles that appear to be for sale:
Includes a trailer.
“Up for auction, 1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep with a Bantam Trailer BARN FIND. This little Willys is in good shape with some rust, she does run but a little rich, she will need the carb tuned up. The battery is no good, she drives, shifts in high low and all of the gears and stops. She needs a new home, you see I’m in the National Guard and will be attending a lengthy resident course, so she doesn’t need to be sitting in the Barn for another year. Someone needs to restore her and enjoy taking weekend rides in the summer. She is civilian, but has some military items that come with her, such as a Jerry can with spout, extra (3) non directional tires, shovel, fuel can mount, spare tire mount, machine gun mount, two military tool boxes and I will even throw in an old army field desk. I have an old school bus seat that I was going to cut down and use as a back seat that comes with her. All the tires are holding air and in decent shape. The Bantam trailer is also a restoration project, does have a new tail light and the tongue stand is with her. I always wanted to get this project going and put these two items together, I think it would be pretty fun, but out of time and my military career and retirement take priority.”

The serial number of 5633714730 makes the vin plate a 1959 DJ-3A. Maybe the DJ body is on a 1969 CJ-5 chassis?

(01/04/2015) Looks solid.
“1946 Willys Jeep. Original flathead four-cylinder engine, manual transmission, manual steering and brakes. It has been converted to 12V electronics. The engine was recently rebuilt and a lot of the wiring has been redone. The jeep comes with two sets of tires. One set is for Highway/rode use. The other set is for off-road use. This is a great little Jeep with a clear Arizona title. Come drive it home.”
