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 .
I bought this wooden puzzle jeep the other day. It came assembled, so of course, I took it apart. It turns out that putting it together wasn’t as easy as I thought, but I did get it together. You can see me celebrating my ‘victory’ (well, that’s the fuzzy version of me — I am celebrating no-shave November)
I ran across a Salt Lake Tribune article that includes this militarized CJ-2A decoration. The article shares a little bit about Salt Lake Valley’s Grogan’s War Surplus Store. If you are in Salt Lake and have some time to kill, drop by and get your picture taken with the jeep and send it in to me! I’m sure I’ll get down there at some point and do that too :-). The store is located at 5000 S. Redwood Road and marked with a Sergeant Missile at one corner.

UPDATE: As of 2022, the building appears to still be there, but it is closed.
Jim wrote to tell me a little about Bruce Wadlin and his Florida 4 Wheel Drive & Truck shop. The sixty-nine year old Bruce runs the shop himself, selling “OBSOLETE JEEP & Willys Parts”. Jim grew up with him and said that Bruce has been buying and selling new (old) parts since the 1970s. Bruce is pretty old school, still using only a phone or fax machine. He doesn’t even advertise. So, Jim thought he would place ads on Craigslist and contact eWillys.
The shop is located at 6110 17th Street E, Bradenton, FL. The phone number is (941) 756-7844. Bruce generally keeps hours from keeping hours from 11am until 5PM daily (though the ad says noon to 6pm).
How about that great first picture? Love it!
“Comes with an epoxy Stand Up Paddle Board and Fly rod & Reel….not shown.
It’s true you can find a Willys Wagon for about $1,000. and throw another $10,000. at it but it’ll never be this original.
1958 Overland 4X4 Wagon, just serviced and under coated with military cosmoleen.
This is not a rust bucket, hot rod or crazy custom…it’s just a sweet old ride.
Very clean inside and out, everything works, it drives great, 100% reliable.
Five perfect Mud & Snow tires ready for winter.
Comes with an expensive ($300.) new Fly Rod in hard case mounted on the dash with hand tied flys in jockey box.
Good glass all around, windows all work, air vent (aka natural A/C) opens easily in front.
Good heater and defroster, toasty warm in winter, two speed blower.
Mechanically sound, original 226 L flat head six.
Just upholstered with two tone pleated seats new head liner, rubber floor mats.

This is a fisherman’s vehicle of choice ready for adventure.
It’s a FUN rig to own and drive….we’re buying a home in Sandpoint and no longer can store the Willys inside.
This Willys has been one of the best four wheel drives we’ve ever owned.
Email for lots more pictures…

This is a perfect trailer for a panel wagon.
“Converted black 64′ Willy Jeep station wagon, covered cargo trailer.
FEATURES: New tires; new receiver; recently painted and stored indoors; real axle; leaf spring suspension; newer tail lights and wiring; locking vertical access doors;
Roughly 8 x 5
Clean Texas registration”

“This car is quite complete, including one of the Swedish bikes (hand operated front drum and Bendix type rear brakes with leather hand grips and leather seat) that the Swedish Army used on them.
It even has the original oil can mounted on the fire wall under the hood and the original bike tool kit contents (adjustable wrench with tire changing tool handle, skeleton handled screw driver, little pry bar wrench and what seems to be a spoke wrench along with a tire pump stamped with the three crown insignia of Sweden) in the little tool box on the back of the bike.
The bike generator and headlamp are still in working order although the tail lamp appears to need a bulb. The car also has the original, operating Swedish Army radios on the counter top table in the back seat area.
The drive train is original and quite complete, all working well. The transmission is a un-synchronized four speed. The reverse lock out lever on the shifter and both independent dash controlled differential locks all work.
The engine always starts with no trouble no matter how cold or how long it sets unused. There is a cold weather hot water starting system dependent on another similar vehicle with the same system. The engine is a Volvo flat head six-cylinder gas engine. The engine and drive train are original.
It shows 84,400 plus kilometers on the speedometer which too is in working order. Four of the five tires are nearly new with probably less than 500 miles on them.”
Fred spotted this nice looking truck. This listing includes ALOT of good quality pics.
“This is a true TIME CAPSULE! Sold with the original title and registration from Oregon do not miss your chance to own a piece of history. This truck comes from the original family that owned it when purchase in 1955 in Oregon. Used originally as a forest service truck to pull out redwoods this machine is a torque monster. Having personally driven this truck I can say it is without a doubt one of the best running WIllys out there. Do not mess around with custom 350 conversions this original straight 6 Super Hurricane engine is up for anything.
Only carrying 90,000 miles the engine runs like new and without ANY hesitation. Fires right up everytime and will take you down the road with its 3 speed manual transmission at 55 all day long. The truck could literally be used as a museum piece, car show winner, or a daily driver. Use it to promote your business or store it in your Willys collection, this truck is AMAZING!
-Original 90,000 Mile SUPER HURRICANE Engine
-Fully functional 3 speed manual trans and 4 wheel lock out hubs
-100% Functional Gauge cluster and speedo (look almost new)
-Fully functional heater and thermostat
-New All terrain Tires
-Original Spare
-Tape player installed in glove box (not a cut up dash unit!)
-Original special order Kleenex Box form Willys still full with the ORIGINAL kleenex!!
This truck really is an amazing piece of history. Only thing on the truck that is NOT original is the interior which was updated in the 80’s as well as the tape player in dash. The truck is 100% rust free and has only sat in a climate controlled garage for the last 20 years keeping it in like new condition. Used 3 times a year to pull floats in parades the truck has been ran and kept in excellent condition making it one the cleanest and best running ORIGINAL Willys in existence.
Will be sold with original:
-Oregon Title
-Registration
-1955 Oregon Plate
-Full write up in Collector Truck Magazine”
