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 $6000
(06/24/2014) Looks pretty original. Seems to be missing the battery box.
“The original Jeep! Runs like a top! Unstoppable 4WD! Extremely well cared for! Price is firm.”
UPDATE: In a comment below Claudia mentioned that Jarvis Jeep had a very catchy jingle: Beep Beep Jarvis Jeep. Apparently, that jingle was played a lot in Oregon as a variety of folks from Oregon have mentioned it on the internet. I tried to find a commercial with jingle, but no luck. Also, at one time Jarvis Jeep was the largest jeep dealer in the nation. If I’d realized Robert Jarvis was still alive I’d have tried to contact him. Unfortunately, he passed away this past April.
Apparently, he was quite the character and boxer. According to the article in this magazine, during a boxing tournament in 1946 Rocky Marciano broke his hand on Bob’s head. After which, they became life long friends. (go here to learn more and then search for ‘Jarvis’.)
Here’s an image with the jingle on it that was posted on pinterest:
Craig scanned this from the January 1959 issue of Jeep News. It features the Jarvis Jeep dealership from Portland, Oregon.
John forwarded this unusual race. It’s was a 7610 mile rally across some desolate terrain. Sure looks like it would have been an experience!

Might be solid, but has some paint missing on the fenders.
“For sale is a 1956 Willys Station Wagon-with a Chevy 283 engine. I am the second owner of this gem, as I recently purchased the vehicle in Denver, and drove it out here to DC for the summer. There is currently a Chevy 283 engine in her, as it was replaced in the early 70s to provide more power for longer distances. She runs great, body has some defects, but overall, she is ready to drive anywhere, just in need of some simple body work, and a possible paint job depending on your intentions with the vehicle.
Asking $6,000 OBO. Send me an email, or text me at eight0eight-sevenTwo2-zero3one9, would love to answer any questions you may have, and meet to show you the vehicle.”
