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 $2000
It’s a project.

(04/21/2013) IT looks like it has a WW2 windshield. It appears solid.
“Runs… / Drives…

Between Antique Fire Engines, 16,000 toys, and a French Laundry, our trip from Mackinaw City to Fenton, MI, proved to be fascinating and fun. We have plenty of pics to share, but those will have to wait for at least a day.
Happy Mother’s Day MOM!
I’m sure there’s a story behind it, but I fear we’ll never know why a sailor was driving a CJ-3A and pulling a stage through a neighborhood.
“Original vintage snapshot photo, circa 1940s or 1950s. Sailor at the wheel of a Jeep, pulling a trailer that looks to be a stage – “When The Rains Came.” We do not have any details about the location of this photo. Some minor age toning, otherwise a nice image- as seen in scans. Measures about 2-3/8″ x 3.5″

Seth discovered this one-of-a-kind boat for sale. Perhaps the builder was inspired by the Panther water car?
“This is a 1972 All Fiberglass Jeep CJ5 Tub built up on a Fiberglass hull. It has a 50hp Johnson outboard on a custom bracket with power trim & tilt. It has all nautical lights for running at night plus all the vehicle lights work including head lights, tail light and blinkers. This is a 2014 build.
So let me tell you, this thing is an absolute blast, grab a friend turn up the stereo and you will be turning heads everywhere you take her and you can take her anywhere because its great in any water due to the two 12 ft wind surfing boards that act as outriggers so its real stable and not tippy at all plus it has a full windshield. This thing is custom everything from the beautiful paint job to the detailed shifter console and dash board.
Also comes with custom fitted boat trailer.”
No pics, but Glenn verified this is a very late DJ-3A.
“I have a 1967 DJ3A that needs to go, it was a project that never got done so it’s in pieces thats why I am selling as parts. ALL must go in one lot, this was the standard 2wd version with a flat head.. Sorry I do not have pictures. The body is on a trailer and delivery can be arranged”

Whitefish Point Lighthouse and the Shipwreck Museum on Lake Superior
Well it worked. I wished the rain away and we didn’t see any all day. However, I forgot to wish the cold away. But, I’ll take the cool temperatures over the rain.
Today, Friday May 10th, our first goal was to drive to the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point near Paradise, MI, where a light saving beacon has been maintained in one form or another since 1849.
On Friday May 10th we drove from Iron Mountain to Mackinaw City.
On our way to the museum, we encountered a couple different jeeps. One was in the form of a wooden jeep at a Big Boy Burger restaurant in Manistique, MI. This one included a slide. Ann tried real hard to get a shot of me on the slide. Unfortunately, our memory card lost the pictures I took of the front of the wood jeep (time for new memory card).
The next jeep we saw at an old motel near Tahquamenon Falls State Park in Michigan. There was a dog near the jeep that wasn’t too happy to see me taking photos, so I kept my distance. It looks like someone took the time to fabricate a custom hardtop.
The museum costs $13/per adult. However, if you have an active military ID, you and a friend can get in free. However, they don’t advertise that fact, so you’ll have to ask about it. We had a nice time looking around the exhibits.
There are plenty of harrowing stories of sailors freezing, drowning, and dying. To be fair, many people were saved by life-saving crews as well. If you are in the area, it’s worth dropping by to see. The fact that of the 550 known major shipwrecks lying on the bottom of the lake, at least 200 of them are in the vicinity of Whitefish Point, underscores the importance of alerting sailors to the dangers of the area.
Here we are at Lake Superior. You can just see Canada behind us in the distance.
This CJ-5 looks a little bit surreyish with its striped top.
“Vintage original snapshot, circa 1950’s.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This looks like a nice wagon.
“For sale is the Willys Overland Wagon. 2 Door, 3 speed manual on the column station wagon. It has the F4-134 Hurricane inline 4 piston engine. This was recently tuned up and had new fuel pump put in. The brakes were replaced at the time as well. It runs well, starts every time and stops great. I do not see any issues with it as far as mechanics go. Tires are in excellent condition. The only real issue is some of the glass is showing its age. As you can see in one of the pictures the drivers side window is cracked, it is intact and can be driven just fine. The transmission works as it should all the gears go in smoothly and it is very easy to drive. Front and back seats are in perfect condition no rips or stains. Exterior paint is shiny with minimal issues which are pointed out in the pictures, no dents or bad rust. Really a great collectors piece that needs nothing to drive around town and show off. 34,982 miles on it right now. It was purchased within the last 10 years and has a clear IL title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
It’s not perfect, but it sure looks like a good price.
