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 .
UPDATE: It’s been almost nine years since I posted a series of Testimonials to the early jeeps that were part of a very rare early sales book. Most, but not all, included images. A friend of mine shared them with me. You can see them all here: http://www.ewillys.com/tag/1946-testimonials/

how would you like to find one of those jeeps now?
Are there any pictures of the NYC and Malden, Mass. jeeps?
Not sure how long these jeeps were in service in Toledo,but I know the man that was in charge of the city’s vehicle and equipment fleet.He retired a few years ago and if they were still in service during his career he would remember.Toledo has auctions of vehicles and unwanted equipment so I would bet they were sold at auction.
Back in the summer of 1962, my dad bought one of the Willys Jeeps that came to the aid of stalled vehicles in the Lincoln Tunnel. It was a 1950 CJ3A with a giant push bumper welded to the front stock bumper. Needless to say the clutch slipped badly. This was the first of many Jeeps that launched my love of Willys vehicles. I still remember the port Of NY authority vehicle number painted on the hood. #1095. The day President Kennedy was assassinated, I was installing a left rear tail light on this Jeep.
