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 $6500.
The Desert Dogs look in good shape.
“We have owned this jeep for over 35 years. It is a good little classic.
Has original Flathead motor.
Runs, tagged, insured, clean title.

Not much tread left on those desert dogs.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The seller notes the tire is brand new. I’ve never seen a desert dog quite like this one. It looks more road friendly with a tighter tread. Seller only has one of these for sale.
“Up for sale is a NEW Formula Tire 11-15LT Desert Dog Outline White Letter.
One tire is available.
Older stock.

They look good enough for racing.

Blaine found a flattie project and a Topeka project for sale and some other parts.

2. Topeka Mower has Jeep running gear (T-98 4 sp.) limited slip dif.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $$2500.
(02/25/2014) The dogs look in surprisingly good shape. The tires on the trailer aren’t so good. This may include an overdrive, based on the ‘4 levers’ comment.
“1941 WILLYS OVERLAND JEEP AND TRAILER, ORIGINAL 4 LEVER TRANY 283 CHEVY V,8 CAMEL HUMP HEAD. NEED FULLY RESTORATION. $2500 CASH OR PARTIAL TRADE,“

Marty spotted this rare set of Desert Dogs in good condition on chrome steel rims.
“Tires have a 10″ face and 12″ section width. Have excellent tread, and are very good in mud, snow and I guess sand. These are a very tough nylon tire. Wheels are 10″ wide and are 5 on 5. 5 Fits ford, jeep cj, scout and samurai. May fit others?”
UPDATE: Still Available
(11/24/2014) Jim spotted this solid looking Tuxedo Park CJ-5. And, it has desert dogs to boot, a real rarity in the Tennessee area. Looks like the front bumper has been replaced.
