About eWillys
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.
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 .
(03/28/2014) The hardtop was made from an aluminum boat.
“1947 Jeep CJ2A with aluminum hard top and doors. Unique as they were made from an aluminum boat and look great!
I have not had time to restore but jeep ran into the garage and has been inside heated storage since. Needs brakes but what a cool piece to start with and re-do.
Clear title and spring is coming to get this one back on the road.
Stored in Newtown and please drop me note and we can arrange a visit. Thx!”
Ted’s friend is selling this 1960 former golf course Trencher.
“1960 Jeep-A-Trench Jeep CJ5
Jeep was used on a golf course in central Maine for irrigation its entire life. Has never been registered.
Jeep runs and drives. Trencher fully functional. In very good condition for being a New England Jeep. Has small rust holes here and there. Frame is solid. Currently the lights do not work. And the front plow does not operate.
New tires and wheels. Comes with the original wheels.
Jeep is sold with Bill Of Sale Only. No Title.
Great piece of Jeep History. Very rare! Low Reserve.
If you have any questions, please email. Thank you.”

On Monday we and my ‘squaw’ awoke in our ‘teepee’ to a beautiful morning. The $70 we paid for a night at the Wigwam was a splurge for us, but we slept well and enjoyed the uniqueness of the experience.
The grounds are nicely kept and the area was clean.
Today we drove from San Bernardino to Fullerton, then on to Huntington Beach, before returning to Huntington.
Our first task of the day was to visit San Bernardino’s contribution to the world: The very first McDonalds in 1948. It turns out the ‘birth’ story of McDonald’s are actually two stories, the official McDonald corp stance and the actual truth. Thankfully, the founder of the Pollo Loco restaurants in Southern California has saved this original history (despite McDonald corp efforts to tell a different story). Even better, he’s made the museum free. Now, I wouldn’t drive hours out of my way to visit this, but if you are near San Bernardino, it is worth a short detour in my opinion.
Though not the original build, that is part of the original sign and this is the original location of the very first McDonalds.
Part of the mural on the side of the building commemorates the launch of the first McDonalds.
According to the McDonald corp, the first McDonald’s was started by Ray Kroc in Des Plaines, IL. It turns out that, yes, the Des Plaines location was the first McDonald’s Kroc started. But he launched that one as a franchisee of the McDonald brothers. It wasn’t until 1955 that Kroc bought out the McDonald Brothers and gained control of the business. Here’s some fast-food info:
Paul just purchased this early Maverick. Note the emblems on the side. He believes it was blue and white. Though the red paint isn’t the best, he says everything else looks real good.
“I made this one of a kind TV stand / bookshelf / hall table, using the remains of a REAL WWII Jeep! These are not replica parts. I’m down in Houston, but I will be traveling to the Ft. Worth area very soon, so delivery is not out of the question. The Jeep’s hood opens so you can display items behind the grille. Please feel free to ask questions.”
Looks like this has a Willys Overland hard top and the body is lengthened.
“46 Willys body cj-2a

Ran when it was parked 25 years ago.
no title but is out of the dmv system.
all parts are there”
