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 .
Glenn alerted me to this. If you are a fan of M*A*S*H, then you might be interested in hiking to the mountain set of the TV Series. The are is located in Malibu Creek State Park just north of Malibu, California. There’s a few old vehicles still there, including an earlyish CJ-2A.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,500.
This looks nice.
“Here is a 1953 Willy’s Jeep witha built 327 and I mean built. This thing will probably pull the front wheels off the ground. Dual exhaust, full cage and so much more.”
UPDATE II: See the latest — The Van is headed West.
From August, 2011: Glenn recognized the Willys Van for sale. Even more impressive, he found a brochure for one! Well done! He bought the Sales Folder off eBay about a year and a half ago. Mfg. by Plaza Motors, Inc. Englewood, NJ and was Willys-Overland Factory Approved.
Based on the emails between Colin and Glenn, there were at least three groups of Willys-Overland Delivery Trucks produced:
1) One group was produced during or just prior to WWII (as seen below)
Here is a 1942 Panel Delivery Truck:
2) One group was produced during post WWII and pre 1950, which appears to include the Willys Van owned by Mike. The brochure provided by Glenn also appears to be related to this second group.
3) One group was produced between 1951 and 1953, based on these serial numbers.
The numbers below are for post 1950 FJs. This one appears to be a pre-1950 FJ. We are still awaiting a serial number.
1951 FJ 451 GC1 10001— none
1953 FJ 452 GC2 10001—10065 65 built
1954 FJ454 GC2 10001—10012 12 built
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
It runs, but is a bit odd. The body might be from a DJ.
“I have a 1953 willys Jeep that has tons of new parts, way to many to list, this Jeep is a great running trail, farm, rig. Has been on road last three years, need to sell got to many projects.”
This runs, but does need a little work. Might be worth a look.

It’s not running at the moment, but might not take much. It appears solid.

“we have a willys jeep hasnt been started since he rebuilt it and would like to trade for a gas golf cart or a 4-wheel drive 4wheeler”
The front frame rails look pretty good.
