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 .

“Willys Jeep Project. Though to be a 1952 CJ3A(?). No Title, but can provide a bill of sale. Ran when parked. Trades considered…”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
(12/28/2013) Looks like it has an overdrive.
“I have a 46 Willy’s jeep for sale, I am asking $2000 or best offer if you are interested please make me an offer, but no low ballers, that means please do not call me and offer me $500, it is worth more than that. Please do not call or text telling me what rough shape it is in, I am aware of the work that it needs.
I am not in a hurry to sell this jeep, and would be fine keeping it, but I do not have the time for it and it is just taking up space. I would rather sell it so that it does not just sit and rot.
It has a clean title, current registration, and it runs, but it is a project. The Jeep has full soft top and bikini top.”
UPDATE: Mark pointed out that the wagon at the far right of the photo looks like a shorty. After several agreements, I did some research and found the ad below. The ‘wagon’ on the right is actually a ‘Station Sedan’ model while the one on the left is the ‘Station Wagon’ model. The Station Sedan had the added benefit of being “more maneuverable and easier to park”. The ad doesn’t make it look short, but the picture below sure does. I have confirmed the wheelbases were the same (see comments).
The State Archives of Florida at Florida Memory, http://floridamemory.com/items/show/53295 has this great photo created by Spottswood Studio of the Family of Jeeps.
Here’s a 1949 brochure that discusses the differences between a Station Sedan and a Station Wagon. Note how the styling on the right matches the styling on the ‘Sedan’ in the top of the ad. I found this for sale at the Jumping Frog site.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
How cool is this photo!
“For sale is a photo of a prototype tracked snow Jeep taken near Prado, Colorado in April, 1943. It was undergoing testing at the time but apparently never made it into the field. It has skis on the front for steering with the steering wheel. (This method is an early version of the rope tow.) The photo is an 8 x 10 in size and is an enlargement of the original 4 x 5 factory photo made about 25 years ago. Seller will call the photo original since it was made from the original negative although it was made later on. Good luck with your bidding”
Ever heard of these? I’ve seen jeeps on two wheels, but not with only two wheels.

Justin spotted this belt buckle for sale by the Victorian Military Vehicle Corps out of Australia. Here’s what he had to say.
“I knew as soon as I received my Jeep Belt buckle, I had to share my experience with the readers of Ewillys. After a quick google search, I found an awesome way to carry my crazy Jeep addiction with me everyday. An MB grill belt buckle!
After digging a little deeper I found an email from the link. I emailed the gentleman and shortly got a response. He (Mitch) said he only has a small quantity left (35) and he was located in Australia. Mitch promptly shipped the buckle and sent an invoice on PayPal. I paid $40 for it shipped to my door and only took a week.
It turns out I did more than just buy a buckle. I am signed up with a great group or “association” of WWII Jeep enthusiasts called WW2 Jeeps NSW. These folks are die hard Jeep fans like us who post a great e-newsletter monthly. The information in the letter is priceless and they have other memorabilia for sale as well. And like I said, Mitch treated the customer service very well!”
This looks pretty good apart.
