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.
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 got a chance to scan “The Universal Jeep”, a thirty-two page booklet published by Willys Overland. It was published by Willys-Overland to educate consumers (and dealers?) about the differences between the ‘war’ jeep and the CJ-2A. One of the sections provides some interesting details about the testing done with the CJ-2s. I’ve included that section below.
Excellent article and a good example of what could be done with these old Willys ! I had a CJ-2A on my small farm and used it a lot…(not near as much as these tests though) and really enjoyed it..Only disadvantage was your sight was limited by sitting so low, making hooking up as well as other viewing a bit difficult when you were working alone.
Only question in my mind from reading the above is where it states when hauling manure using “low-low gear 4 wheel drive at a speed of 7-10 miles per hour…over an 8 hour day “…
I don’t think I would push mine that hard all day..
What you all think ???
Dave, they didn’t mention in these reports how at the end of the day after they disconnected the farm equipment they drove their jeeps to the local honky-tonk for cold beer and loose women. I’m sure that happened…
