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: Price dropped to $1550. It’s been modified, but has MB/GPW parts.
“1942 Willy Jeep, original jeep running gear attached to a Corvette 265ci V8…runs great and would make an amazing 4×4 or hunting vehicle. Serves as a cool buggy in the sand out at the lake. Already has a fresh coat of british racing green paint, new fuel cell and electric fuel pump, rewired, bucket seats, roll cage, new clutch linkage…..runs and drives great!!!“

Josh forwarded this ad for a modified jeep. It’s not quite as nice as Wally Cohn’s, but you’ll still spend some time looking at it. Note the plow setup on the front.

Here are some more photos from Charles!
Steve’s got his ‘weather block’ prepared for winter!
“With the days getting shorter, and the weather patterns starting to change, it’s time to set up my Weather Block. As you can tell, this photo was taken on a cloudy day. Here are the instructions I place in my kitchen so when I look out the window I will know how to interpret my weather block. What else do you do with an old Willys engine?
Dry Block – Fair weather
Shadow under Block – Sunny
No Shadow under Block – Cloudy
Wet Block – Rainy
Invisible block – Foggy
Swaying Block – Windy
Horizontal Block – Wind Storm
White block – Snowy
Bouncing Block – Earthquake
Water Flowing Around Block – Flood
Flashing Block – Thunder Storm
Missing Block – Tornado
My Weather Block even tells you the season:
Hot Block – Summer
Leaf Covered Block – Autumn
Cold Block – Winter
Grass Growing on Block – Spring
These photos were published in the Philadelphia Inquirer in July 27, 1943. In the top pic it looks like the driver jumped this off the end of a dock.
UPDATE: Was $175. **Status Unknown**
Bob spotted this toy at the I-76 antique mall in Rootstown, Ohio.
