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 $2200.

UPDATE: Final word
After playing with this issue for days, I kept running into similar problems; no matter what code I used to create the submenu, it wouldn’t work. For reasons as yet unclear, users that are not logged in can’t access the code to make the menu run.
So, I have a big reminder to people that automatically pops up on all subpages when users are not logged, reminding you/them to log into the site to view the subpages. I’ve also reinstalled some side menu widgets as well.
Please let me know if you encounter any problems .. d@ewillys.com

I updated to the latest version of wordpress, which caused a couple glitches. I’ve fixed most of them, but one strange issue is that when you aren’t logged it, you can’t see any sub pages. Perhaps that’s been an ongoing issue about which i was unaware?
I’ll address this asap, but the front page works just fine.
Thanks,

We only ask that each of you donate $10 when you arrive at the event to help us cover some of the cost of the Saturday night BBQ. And if you feel like bringing something to share, please do. We really want this to be a relaxing time for everyone. This is a family event.
Over the next few months, we will gather up some information on hotels. We will also try to get a group rate if possible.
My jaw dropped as I opened the magazine. I was in my early teens (mid 70s). To this day, I’m unsure why my father hid a couple Playboy magazines in with my mother’s stash of old magazines (I’m guessing he never thought she would look there?). But, sure enough, in my hands was gold, my eyes were big, and it was coooool! And thus, that was my first introduction to Playboy.
I can’t say I’ve done much research into the history of Playboy, but during a search of vintage magazines in general, I came across a website called Stagmags.com, which appears to be a gathering and recording of many old ‘stag’ magazines that have since gone out of publication. It’s a reminder that Playboy had plenty of competition from day 1, but to Hef’s credit, managed to successfully carve out a successful niche, while many others failed.
Now, I only bring this up as a segway to one of two images I found on the page and which you can view below. Hopefully that provides a little more insight into the image.
Dan continues to make steady progress on restoring his grandfather’s CJ-5. You can see previous reports here.
He reports, “The Jeep is down to the frame and axles. I have a new rear cross member on order. The old one was all bent and rusted. The rear hitch was all bent as well. I found a vintage hitch that is actually straight that I will be using. Once the new rear cross member is on I’ll get all the frame welding completed and then coat it with some Interstate One Step Rust Killer. It is less expensive than POR15 and easier to use but still has impressive results. My goal was to get all the frame work done this winter and I just might get there.”
Here’s a couple pics:
Here’s the front of the jeep:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
This seems a bit high for a project. It’s hard to tell what’s all included though.
“Buick V6 Motor. Very Clean Body Ready for completion.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Were $10 each.
I’m not familiar with the hubs on the left.
“10 spline early Jeep/Willys hubs. $10 per set”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
Looks like a good price on a parts jeep. The body doesn’t look bad (from a distance).
“rolling body and frame”
Here’s a buyer for a CJ-2A windshield frame. The buyer also has some stuff for sale or trade.
“WANTED: Windshield frame for a 1948 Willys cj 2a flat fender jeep. Just need one that is semi straight for a trail rig. may have some parts in trade. All from 72′ cj 5, 3spd tranny, Dana 20 transfercase, and drive lines. All are sitting in a shop a little greasy but staying dry.
