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 .

“I have a 1946 Willy jeep for sale. This truck runs and drives great, but has no breaks. It has a standard four cylinder. The jeep is absolutely cool for anyone into old cars OR military memorabilia, being the jeep was most likely used in world war 2 looking at it’s year made. ”
Colter, Karson, Ann and I having some fun at the Hurricane Ridge Visitors Center in Olympic National Park. The elevation is 5,200 feet.
The holidays are officially over for us. My boys flew home to Salt Lake and we drove back to Pasco. Ann’s got her VA doc appointments lined up for January, while I’ve got to hit the writing hard to complete some of the sections I avoided last month. Well, to be honest I managed to write only two days all of last month — too many things were happening. On the plus site my ‘editor’ aunt is enjoying the first draft of the book immensely. So, it shows promise!
One of those things (besides the boy’s visit) that kept me too busy to write was our last trip of the year, a trip to the end of the world, or more accurately to the farthest northwestern point on the contiguous United States: the end of the Cape Flattery trail. As I write this my wife and are debating if the claim is truly accurate or not, but rest assured it felt like the end of the world! (See Wikipedia’s list of extreme US points)
A map of our late December two-day trip from Renton to Cape Flattery and back.
The idea for the trip began with Karson. Prior to their arrival last week, he asked if we could take a trip to Olympic National Park during their visit. I thought that sounded like a great idea since neither I nor Ann had been in the area since the late 1980s.
On Monday we drove to the ferry in downtown Seattle, crossed to Bainbridge Island, then drove north and west until we reached Cape Flattery. We were in a hurry, as the drive took about six hours and the sun was supposed to set at 4:30pm. We arrived at the cape around 3PM, with just enough time to hike the Cape Flattery Trail to a lookout point over the Pacific Ocean. It was cold, but fortunately not too windy. Eventually, the sun dropped far enough that the we had to return to the car. By the time we reached our motel in Port Angeles it was very dark.
The obligatory selfie at the ferry dock.

Nashville Willys Dealer Neely B. Coble launched a demonstration series to show just what jeeps were capable of doing. This June 1955 article highlights his effort.
Dave shared this photo of a jeep-grille table he spotted at a lighting store in Minneapolis. As you can see in the photo, the table is built from pipe. He notes it is about 12″ wide and priced at $999. The table is designed to go along a wall or behind a sofa. The Harley tank takes up most of the width. The black piece behind the table is not part of it.

“This is 1944 Jeep from World War II made by Ford. It has the original T84 transmission, transfer case, steering, radiator and axles. Windshield inner and outer frame is present. it’s a project that needs restoration. Transmission case was taken down and inspected but is usable and needs a rebuild. Seats are not original to the jeep. Front frame horns will need repair. Have an extra tub for parts. This jeep looks good in pictures but lots of bondo was used by someone. Lots of small misc parts will go with this to include canvas for seats, repro bumper, repro hat channels, fuel tank sump, and many small misc parts. Frame serial number confirmed is 198348. Data plates are missing. This vehicle has a title. This was a parts jeep that is why so many items are missing. No original wheels, engine, gauges seats or underhood items are left. I’m open to reasonable offers. If this add is up then its available.”
