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 .
This great photo was shot August 14, 1965, and can be seen at the Denver Public Library Digital Collections.

I was looking for something, can’t even remember what at the moment, when I ran across this picture of jeeps at a race in Cripple Creek, Colorado, on Hemmings. That lead me to the Denver Public Library Digital Collections where I found a variety of pics.
Here is one image of kids on a jeep as part of a war bond effort.

The caption on this photo notes these men are wounded vets and are touring the Gates Rubber Plant in Denver.

Here are some post war jeepers exploring mining areas in Colorado in the 1950s.

Kerry spotted these pics on a friend’s facebook page. They are part of the Fotos Antiquas de Medellin and may have come from this Facebook page.
Mark reports that the recent edition of Hot Rod Deluxe Magazine has a variety of jeep pictures in it. Here are a couple. I have yet to pick up my copy.
Mark writes, “Found this cool copy of Hot Rod Deluxe magazine – May 2012 edition while in Barnes and Noble the other day. This nice little gem features a ton of Willys cars, trucks and quite a few Willys Jeeps as well. See pics attached. Page 6 features the first Four Wheel Drive Grand Prix in 1965 with allot of Jeeps in the pic. Page 33 features Bob Panella’s huge collection of Willys cars and trucks. Scattered throughout the rest of the pages you will find race jeeps and tricked out jeeps from back in the day which are pretty cool.”
This has nothing to do with jeeps, but Steve forwarded it thinking I might like it. I did. I figured some of you would too.
According to the attached text of the email, “Check this out… a hand-formed all-aluminum Willys Coupe! It’s amazing what some people can do with an English rolling wheel, sheet metal brake and a lot of skill and knowledge. No, he is not going to paint it. I love the polished flames! It’s got the right stuff under the hood, too! The hood scoop has yet to be installed in the photo below (Look closely). This is Walt Austin’s aluminum Willys coupe at Jim Hume’s shop, south of Bellingham , Washington.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
Nice.
“400 Small Block Chevy, 400 transmission, New Tires, New Wheels, New Winch, New Brakes,New Top
Runs and drives great.”
UPDATE: SOLD*** Was listed at $3500.
This might be a very good price. It looks quite solid, despite needing brakes.
“1945 jeep gpw new engine needs brakes”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800. Relisted 6 months later.
This looks pretty good for the price. The body looks fiberglass to me.
“1948 Jeep runs and drives good power steering and brakes, hard top and bikini, six foot snowplow, chains and towbar.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800
This has a M-38 windshield and I think it has a glove box on the dash, too, so I think it is a M-38 rather than the CJ-3A indicated by the seller. Or, it is a mix of parts.
“66K Miles. Decent condition. Comes with Tow Bar & Soft Top. Less than 500 miles traveled in last 10 years. Runs great; but, needs brake work.”
Looks solid.
“Customized 2 door panel with a 6 1/2 inch chopped top. Has a stock 350 Chevy engine, with an Edelbrock intake and a 750 Edelbrock carbuerator and Edelbrock valve covers. S-10 headers with a 400 transmission and a 2600 stall. 2002 S-10 chasis with a camaro rearend. Posi track 308 gears. For more information, call Juanito at 361-774-4838”
