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 .
This photo shows Brazilian’s rounding up Italians during WWII.
Anyone recognize the woman in this pin-up photo? I don’t know her.
Marc found another set of Everglade photos. This time there are multiple CJ-2As with a push-bumper setup. Here’s the previous set of Everglade photos. This seller also has some photos of early swamp buggies, too.
“As described in the title and shown in the scans below, this is a set of three original snapshot photos that were taken around 1950 with diagnostics being the “Kodak Velox Paper” watermarks on the back and in comparison to other dated photos from the same estate. The area is the Florida Everglades somewhere in the vicinity of the Collier and Dade County lines. We don’t know who the uniformed men or the civilians are. The photos are in bright and clean condition though they have corner clipping, tape residue, photo paper curl and even some creasing. They each measure approx. 3.25″ x 4.5″.”

UPDATE: Glenn mentioned a photo, along with this Al-Toy post from 2012. So, I’ve added Glenn’s comment and the photo to which he refers.
Glenn wrote, “All the Overland Heavy Hitters are here. Cast Iron Charlie Sorensen, came to Willys to escape Henry’s Henchmen, Ward Canaday, last of the old bankrupt Depression crew. I don’t remember Mr. Paris, but Colin and I shared Mr. Bell in the photo of the Al-Toy above.”
I’ve seen this photo, but not the included caption.
“This is an original press photo. GH BellPhoto measures 10.25 x 8inches. Photo is dated 09-27-1945.”

For Sale: One of a Kind 1947 Willy’s WWII Military Jeep (CJ-2A)
This Jeep has been carefully rebuilt from the ground up over 3 years by my father, a retired certified ASEA mechanic. Starting from a sandblasted frame, new-off-shelf (N.O.S) parts were used whenever possible. Every piece has been carefully rebuilt and reassembled – you won’t find a cleaner, or more authentic rebuild of a 1947 Willy’s. Lots of fun to take off-road, or cruise around town with the windshield down. See below for details on each component. Thanks!
