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 .
John spotted this CJ-3B in a 1956 Doris Day Movie titled: Julie
The CJ-3B enters the clip at approximately the 9:13 mark.
Hugh spotted this on eWillys and went to look at it. He was pleasantly surprised to discover it was better than it looked in the pictures, so he bought it.
He writes, “This is the 47 cj2a i picked up in niangua missouri. The thing runs like a sewing machine. The previous owner and his brother meticulously maintained the drive train. The shock absorbers are shot, the springs are flat and it needs new tires. I put more than fifty miles on it today and it seems very dependable. Its very original but not a show piece, but heck, i just like to drive em, preferably off road!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Dave presented this great brass buckle to me at this years FC Roundup. I safely packed it away so that I wouldn’t lose it on the way home, but I packed it so good that I couldn’t find it. I finally found it looking for something else …. whew!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $250.
Here’s an unusual sign.
“No scratches, and working, Im selling this man-cave item for $250 OBO. It’s definatifely worth it, I have checked it out on EBAY and sells for more than that. Contact me for any info by email or by text or call, im better with my cell phone tho.”

“Collectible 1950’s Jeep/Willys 4 Paper Banner Double Sided Signs 17″ x 12″. I found these signs picking a long closed dealership. Great collectibles for the Jeep/Willys fans. The signs are in very good condition. There is some slight soiling, sun-fading, and very slight tears. The one sign (refer to photos) has the hanging slot torn away. No damage to inhibit displaying in a man cave, business, or garage. They will be shipped flat.”

Thanks to Steve Elkins for filing this great report from the 2013 Willys America Open House last Saturday! You can see more pics at the oldwillysforum also.
The annual Willys America Open House was Saturday, July 13, 2013. Over one hundred Willys vehicles converged on the old lumber town of Cazadero nestled among the towering redwoods of the Russian River region of Sonoma County, California.
Once again, Paul Barry opened up his amazing restoration facility to Willys owners everywhere for his annual event. Willys enthusiast from all over the region, and some as far as the Eastern United States, came to the event. Well known names in the Willys World such as Harry & Jo Sheets from Indiana, and Bill Norris, who publishes the best calendars in the world, were there to enjoy a wide variety of Willys on display and to meet other enthusiasts.
Here are some folks caravanning north to the event. Just to their south the Golden Gate Bridge looms amongst a marine push.
Willys America houses the largest variety of unique Willys vehicles anywhere. There were personnel carriers, Mavericks, Sedan Deliveries, Jeepsters, Forward Control trucks, Jeeps built in Japan and the Philippines, military vehicles, ambulances, fire trucks, RR vehicles, just to name a few. There was even a 1943 Allis-Chalmers Snow Tractor powered by Willys (L4-134.)

Marc spotted this on eBay. The auction ended, but I’m sure the seller will be happy to sell it. Note the muffler winding under the front frame rails.

Tony forwarded these photos. The first shows Tony’s father in his Willys MA. If you recognize that Willys MA please contact Tony (just leave a comment — and I already searched Gavin’s WillysMA site). The second is his father and some buddies in a Ford GP.
Charles forwarded these great photos taken in Europe.
The first is a ‘pension’ for Dogs and Cats . . . aka animal control.
Here’s a nice looking service jeep created from a MB or GPW.
Mark spotted this unique jeep in a gift shop in Sparta, Ontario, Canada. He also spotted the motorcycle.
He writes, “These are hand made displays. I thought that they were very interesting. However, priced between $50.00 & $100.00, I declined my temptations. I felt that the money would be better spent on maintaining my jeep.”
Probably a good idea Mark 🙂
Here’s a second set of Jeeping negatives from Borrego, CA.
