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 $2500.
It’s been customized.
“I am selling my Jeep… I bought it a little over a year ago, and have done a lot of work in starting to restore it. It has a 56 ford straight six engine, an old three speed manual transmission, 87 Toyota axles and is a lot of fun. I put on a new starter, single wire alternator, wiring harness, brake lines, and custom soft top. I bought it for 2500, and wanted to slowly build up parts to do a total rebuild. Unfortunately life gets in the way, so I am going to let it go. It is a ton of fun, and always grabs attention, and it could be someones dream car with a little time and patience.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200
“1949 Willys Panel 2 wheel drive. Currently has the 4cylinder engine, 3 speed transmission with overdrive. Was planning on putting a v6 or v8 in it, but this drive train was running and driving. Very straight body, not rusted out. Title in my name. Asking $3200 or best offer. May entertain trades. Don’t need to sell, just hate seeing it sitting and not high on my priority list of projects I have waiting in the wing. ”

This has the rare swinging doors. Looks like a good price.
“Cj5 hardtop, driver/passenger doors, and rear doors. Everything is there but the hardwear. Some surface rust, but no rust holes. Asking $120 obo.

Tree at Rockefeller Square
Yesterday Kasia and I went into Manhattan to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It turns out that while Kasia had explored far more of Manhattan than I known, she hadn’t been to the Met, so it was a must visit opportunity.
Riding the train from Sea Cliff into the city with Kasia Friday morning allowed us to catch up on a number of her adventures in Manhattan. In fact, just the night before (Thursday night) my nineteen-year-old daughter was invited to a work-oriented christmas party at Times Square. Near midnight, she left the city for the hour and a half trip back via subway and buses to her current quarters in Franklin Square. Let’s see, traveling late at night by herself through New York . . . sometimes, it is better for a father NOT to know these type of stories.
Yesterday turned out to be a good day to vista the Met. At times we had whole rooms of art to ourselves. Kasia didn’t realize that I knew a thing or two about art, so I shared what I knew and admitted what I didn’t. We walked for what seemed like days, but that might have been because I have been walking for days. Eventually we both tuckered out, stopping for a quick smoothie before leaving.
I’m not sure what those two statuettes were doing behind us.
From the Met we walked to my great aunt’s place on the east side to deliver some cookies (special German lebkuchen from an old family recipe), before proceeding to Rockefeller Square so we could see the lights.
As we took photos, we noticed the sky was darkening and the temperature was falling. We felt that signaled it was time to head home. Besides, we didn’t want to be caught up in the evening’s protests.
It took us a couple of hours to return to Sea Cliff. By then we were starving. We pulled out the Yelp app on our iPhones and settled on a peruvian restaurant called Manka in Glen Cove. It proved to be a great choice. We enjoyed a Pervian feast of chicken leg, chicken heart, beef, pork chop, and port sausage, accompanied by fried casaba and plantain.
I know it doesn’t quite look like it in the photo, but she was enjoying the food!
On Saturday we are going to do a little shopping. We’ll have fun, but I doubt there will be anything interesting to report.
In 2004, no Christmas tree lighting was complete without Santa Claus. So, while Mrs. Claus and the elves readied the reindeer for Christmas Eve, Santa harnessed his backup sleigh, a CJ-3B fire jeep. Indeed, seeing Santa in his beautiful red jeep must have brought tears of joy to the little ones of tiny Homer, Alaska.
But, the grinches of Homer ended the annual event in 2005, thus the little ones cried tears of sadness for several years. Then, in 2012 the event returned. Yesterday evening, the tree was once again lit. Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, eWillys could not send a team to Homer to cover the event. So,whether Santa arrived via sleigh, Willys, or a red Ford Bronco shall remain a christmas mystery.
Photo by Michael Armstrong, Homer NewsIn 2004, Santa Claus arrives in Engine No. 1, a vintage Willys Jeep, at WKFL Park for the lighting of the community Christmas tree there.
I wonder if there is more detail in the original photo.
