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 .
The Statesville Record and Landmark newspaper out of Statesville, North Carolina, described in the December 29, 1955, issue how up to eight jeeps are used to make sure rural customers received their newspapers, summer or winter, through rain, snow, or sleet.
Wow, this article is one big testimonial for the jeep’s ability to go off road in all kinds of bad weather. I wonder how many people bought a jeep after reading this.
Having been in the newspaper delivery business from childhood, Willys Jeeps have always been a part of it. Starting in the mid 1960’s when my dad helped me deliver the Sunday edition of the Newark News. We would load up the 1960 Willys wagon and I”D sit on the open tailgate and run the paper up to the customer’s door. When I got my driver’s license, I bought my own Willys wagon for single delivery and bundle drops, Plenty of room in a cracker box wagon for those big holiday editions, stacked them in order of delivery, reached over the front seat & grabbed the next bundle. Aside from my previous stories about delivering using a FJ3a Fleetvan, I’ve used my 48 CJ2A, a Jeepster Commando, (would drive down the sidewalk with that one) and when I took the top off my CJ5, delivery was a “BREEZE” in more ways than one. Cut 45 minutes off my route time. Then there were my co-workers who used their DJ5 Postal Jeeps for delivery. “BIG JOHN” RAYTAC had a RHD postal Jeep and delivered his entire route with out ever leaving the driver;s seat. Those sliding doors were a GIFT FROM ABOVE.” Of course “Big John” always received, shall we say, special requests from customers, requesting delivery closer to the door. John would always reply, “how bout I stick where the sun don’t shine? Another true adventure story from my memory vault.
