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: Still Available

(10/24/2012) Well, the glass and windshield (m-38) looks good. I’m not sure if there is much more value.

From the 1950s until 1968 visitors to the Black Hills of South Dakota could purchase tickets for a ride in a jeep to Harney Peak. The ride would take visitors up to the CCC built lookout at the top of the peak, the tallest point in the United States east of the Rockies (visitors could also hike or ascend via horseback). You can view various pictures of and from the lookout here. Erosion due to the jeep trail ended the trips by jeep. The area around the peak was also turned into a wilderness area (and one could argue given the road how that might happen, but that’s another a debate for another time), so no vehicles are allowed anymore.

This picture was taken at Sylvan Lake. They employed both flatties and CJ-5s. Custer State Park – Page 104
Gerald sent these digital versions of this postcard to me a couple years ago. You can also buy it here.
This is part of a collection of photos, but none of the other photos have jeeps.
“HERE ARE 11 4″X6″ PHOTOS FROM WW2 SHOWING,’THE BRASS”, MACHINE GUNS, MORTAR CEWS, JEEPS,MESS HALL AND MORE. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS, SOME OF THE EDGES HAVE DETERIATED. THESE ARE NICE PHOTOS THOUGH.”

Here’s an interesting article published in the May 1953 issue of Popular Mechanics (pg 195). Interesting that they chose to use a VEC CJ-2A rather than a later model jeep. This issue also includes an introduction and comparison between the M-38A1 and the Mighty Mite.

(Pg 100 introduces the Mighty Mite)
There is an issue for sale on eBay as well form only $5.25
I spotted the 2nd combo first, but then saw the really cool “Outdoor Package”! Nice.
1. “This is a very nice 1963 Tonka Outdoor Living Set in its original box. The set consists of a Jeep Surrey, Pick-up Truck with removable camper, Jeep Runabout, and Boat with Trailer. The set has 3 pieces of luggage that go in the jeep, and the motor that attaches onto the back of the boat. As you can see in the photos, the toys are in nice shape. The original box is tattered and dirty. You rarely see the original box.”

2. “Vintage Tonka Jeep and Boat with Luggage and Spare Tire! Fun combination of Jeep, trailer and boat in good “played with” condition! Boat is missing the antenna, outboard motor and top. Jeep is missing the steering wheel, (easily replaced). Only minor scratches as visible in photos.”

Anyone know anything about these?
“These signs are hand made. Each sign is made one at a time on recycled or scrap metal so that, no two signs are exactly the same.
The metal may be scratched, dented, bent or intentionally distressed to make the sign look old. They are made on 24 gauge steel and then the enamel paint is baked, and clear coated. 17 X10.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A….$2500
(2) 1946 Willys Jeeps CJ2A…..$1500/each
According to the seller, he has “title for 1948, Bill of Sale for the (2) 1946’s. The 48 will run, it has not in two years and then for a short period of time on lawn mower can of gas. The 46’s were bought for parts. I have no idea their capability of running. Both are intact only missing a part here and there. I would represent all of the Willys as needing a full restoration, that way an individual can expect the worse and hope for the best. Also, if you are interested after viewing the photos; make me an offer to consider.”
UPDATE: Back on eBay. Buy-it-Now price is only $3500.
