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: Still Available.
(11/22/2015) Runs.
“Rare 1963 FC Jeep Cab Over with 6 cylinder Flat Head Hurricane. Pennsylvania Barn Find. Yes, it runs. All original parts! Used on family farms in Dorrance Township, PA and Hollenback Township, PA for last 20+ years. Used as a sawmill truck near Red Rock, Pa before that. Original paint is blue. It appears that sawmill operator painted it red. Recent owner (farm family), brush painted it white.”

This looks to have four combat rims. Good price if that’s the case.

This December 1955 Willys News article described the purchase of forty CJ-5s by the Circus Ice Cream Company of Houston, Texas. Do those hub caps look unusual?
Seth told me about the Museum of the American G.I. The museum is located in College Station, Texas, and has multiple jeeps. Unfortunately, I could only find one jeep. We didn’t get a chance to reach College Station this spring, but I’m sure we will be back soon. My niece just won a Reigning scholarship at SMU. I guess she’s coming down to Texas to teach them how to ride a horse :-). Seriously, she’s one of the top riders in the country and a great person too match. Texas is lucky to get her!

Seller has what appears to be a Jeep-a-trench PTO and gear. They are also selling a lift of some type.
“THIS IS A VERY RARE OPTION ON A 1954 WILLYS JEEP WE ARE RESTORING. IT IS A WAY TO GET THE FORWARD SPEED OF THE JEEP DOWN TO ABOUT 1 MILE PER HOUR.
STUDY THE PHOTO’S AND SEE THE FINE CONDITION THE PTO IS IN. THE BIG GEAR IS A REPLACEMENT EMERGENCY BRAKE DRUM SET UP SO IT CAN BE TURNED BY THE GEAR COMING OUT FROM THE PTO. THE BIG GEAR HAS A SMALL CRACK NEAR THE CENTER BUT IS NOT SERIOUS. IT IS VERY UNIQUE AND I THOUGHT I HAD SEEN EVERYTHING AVAILABLE FOR EARLY WILLYS JEEPS FROM THE 40’S.
THANKS FOR LOOKING AND YOU CAN WIN IT JUST TO HAVE ON YOUR SHOP WALL FOR SHOW AND TELL TO ALL YOUR WILLYS JEEP BUDDIES OR USE IT TO WIN THE SLOWEST VEHICLE AT YOUR HISTORICAL SOCIETY FESTIVAL RACE.
I JUST ADDED ANOTHER VIEW OF THE PTO DRIVER LISTED AND A FUTURE LISTING WE WILL DO FOR A WILLYS 3 POINT HITCH HYDRAULIC REAR L;IFT FOR EARLY JEEPS. VERY NICE.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5600

(11/20/2015) Now showy, but the camper top keeps the snow off the driver. The driver’s side has been cut.
