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 $500.
(04/13/2013) Unclear how much value is here.
“Mid 40’s body and frame no title parts or project normal rust 500$”
I bought a May 1975 issue of Four Wheeler Magazine, because it was cheap. I didn’t find anything interesting in it until stumbled across a picture of Jim Carter racing through mud on the last page. Jim and his wife Patti were long time friends of my parents and encouraged them to join the fledgling Wandering Willys Jeep Club. Those that have read my book might recognize the name.
For an unknown reason, JIm isn’t racing their jeep Otis, but someone else’s (or this photo is earlier than 1975). I do recognize that helmet though.
Don’t forget that the North/South Carolina Flat Fender Clubs will be holding a Meet on April 13th. The location is at the foot of the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, Mount Pleasant Waterfront Park, in Mt Pleasant SC. Time of meet is 8:30am until 4pm.

Marc uncovered several great G503 Russian site links.
This link includes information on jeep (and seep) manuals in english and russian. Here are a couple shots from the Russian book from 1948:

There is a seller with a variety of 8×10 black and white photos of the FJ Fleetvan. Some auctions end soon. This seller also has photos of a three-wheeled delivery van made for the post office.
They are all original photographs purchased from the “HEAD PHOTOGRAPHER FOR TWIN COACH BUS COMPANY AND THE WILLYS JEEP FIRM IN TOLEDO OHIO ALL PHOTOGRAPHS WERE TAKEN BY HER WHILE WORKING FOR THESE COMPANIES”.

“1950 willys cj-3a flatfender jeep. Original 4 cyl hurricane motor, t-90 trans. Runs gd. Has extension on rear end and resembles cj-8. Dual gas tanks.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This appears solid.
“THE CONDITION IS CLOSE TO HOW THIS 47 WILLYS JEEP CJ-2 LOOKS IN THE PHOTO’S. IT IS FAR FROM A MUSEUM MODEL BUT IN A PARADE WITH SOME VETERANS RIDING IN IT, I GUARANTEE YOU WILL BE VERY PROUD AND PLEASED WITH OWNING IT. BY THE WAY, BE SURE TO PUT A COUPLE OF FLAGS ON IT. IT IS DECORATED TO SIMULATE A WORLD WAR 2 ARMY JEEP.
IT HAD A REBUILT ENGINE INSTALLED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER, IT RUNS GREAT. DRIVES GREAT AND IS JUST FUN JEEP TO DRIVE AROUND AND ENJOY THE LOOKS YOU WILL GET.
IT HAS BEEN REDONE 3 TIMES AND I THINK WE DONE A GOOD JOB. THE TIRES ARE LIKE NEW, THE HELMET GOES WITH, EVERYTHING IN THE PHOTO’S GO WITH IT. WE LEFT THE TRAILER HITCH ON BECAUSE IT IS REALLY WELL MOUNTED AND MIGHT BE HANDY FOR THE NEW OWNERS.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4900
This wagon looks good. I wish I could see more of that rack.
