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 .
Here are three photos of working jeeps available on eBay.
1) CAMBRIDGE, MA Fire Apparatus SLIDE: LIGHTING UNIT-2:
2) 1961 Slide NIPSCO Northern Indiana Public Service wagon:
3) CJ-5 Unloading Circus Wagon Train 1980s:
4) 1961 Colorado Tour Jeep CJ-5: I’m unclear if this is a San Juan Scenic Tour Jeep or someone else running a tour. Davis tours was over by 1961.
UPDATE: Still Available. Here’s some additional information on the lengths of the jeep and trail.
Jeep is 18′
Trailer is 14′
Plus 5′ for the trailer tongue.
Grand total of 37′ long

“Red CJ Jeep, Inline Six motor standard transmission soft top tour jeep. Runs great everything works as it should, good tires mileage unknown.”
Andy spotted this traveller for sale. It will take some work, but might make an interesting tour-wagon-jeep. Thankfully, this is NOT close to me!

“52 Willis. Project truck. Good body/very little rust. No engine or transmission. No title”

Here are some slides with jeeps currently for sale on eBay. The first one is an unusual tour jeep that I hadn’t seen previously. It’s somewhere at least semi-tropical, based on the upper right tree.
1. Here’s an FC-170 setup as a tour jeep. It appears to include a bed-extension on the back.
2. This slide shows a yellow CJ-5 and a ticket office at Harney Peak Black Hills SD:
3. This next two slides share images from 1962 of a Maine Forest Service MB. This is slide one:
4. This is slide two:
5. And, finally, this slide shows a rare yellow DJ-3A used by the Sault Ste. Marie Chamber of Commerce. I don’t have many vintage photos showing a DJ-3A in the original yellow color (though they do appear on several brochures).
Nice photo from a San Juan Scenic Jeep tour. Too bad the first photo isn’t a slightly wider photo.

This 8-page issue has lots of DJ-3As, Surreys, FCs and Wagons. Note the six-wheeled wagon on page six. The issue includes a photo of a CJ-6 being used as a tour jeep at Hell’s Half Acre near Casper, Wyoming (page 3 lower right).
I bought these three Scenic Jeep Tour slides off of eBay, supposedly from 1964. The pic with the FC *might* be ours. I am waiting for the slide to take a better pic.
With the racer near done and the nice weather, I plan on tackling a couple outside projects, then begin work on the FC Tour jeep.
