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 .
Nate built this custom-purpose CJ-5 from parts.
“This 1966 cj5 came to me in very rough condition. No engine or transmission. The tub was falling off and the windshield glass fell out on the way home because the windshield frame was all rotted out. I pieces it together from parts I could find cheaply and it turned out to be a really tight Jeep now. Still a work in progress with more modifications to come.”
Jim sent me the following pics ….
“I was recently entrusted with a collection of photos that were taken by Chief Photographer’s Mate Paul Madden while onboard the USS Essex during WW2. The pics of Madden are for a little background. The first pic is of him, the second is of him after returning from an air mission where he was wounded (shrapnel in the head)”
“The third pic is what happened to the Jap Zero that wounded him. The fourth is the Purple Heart he got for that wound.”
Jap diving on Essex missed.
“Below are some Jeep photos(attached) on board the Essex, which is the main reason for this post.”

Bob took these pics of a fire CJ-5 at the Los Angeles County Fire Museum.
Bob’s work colleague took this pic of an M-38 fire jeep at the LA City Fire Museum:
Bob shared this article that explains more about the CJ-5 fire jeep (see the original PDF here).
Several folks forwarded this Surrey. This Surrey was in Riverside, then was in Florida, but now is in Texas. It’s undergone a restoration in the last few years, but Colin indicates it was never a resort vehicle (despite the decals). Those style of decals were actually on a Surrey model jeep:

“Welcome to Street Dreams in Texas as we celebrate our 23rd year in the classic and muscle car business. We are always happy to present you with another dreamy classic jeep. This 1961 Willys Surrey Gala is a special production vehicle for Caribbean Palace Nassau. It has a 133ci Inline four cylinder engine with a manual 3-speed transmission. This classic has been well taken care of through the years. It is a very rare vehicle. It has a great look that will last until the color pink goes out of style. Which we don’t see ever happening. This thing turns everyone’s heads when you drive it around. This is a perfect vehicle for taking passengers on trips under 55mph. We sold one locally already, and they use it for wine tours”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/20/2021) Seems worth a look.

“For sale: 1952 willys cj3a jeep. 6 volt. Clear title. Professionally rebuilt WO carter carburetor. New points ,plugs ,condenser and coil. Almost entirely stock except for oversized seats and swing out tire carrier. The gas gauge works sporadically . Probably a ground wire issue. I don’t drive it more than 14 miles at a time so has not been a problem for me. The only other suspect part is the generator. The jeep only uses the battery to start it unless you use the lights. I just charge it up once a week to make sure it’s topped off. Everything else works as it should. Garage kept and only taken out in nice weather. I’ve had fun with it for 5 years, time to share with someone else. Asking $11,500”
Price is for both. The seller will separate.
