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 .
Here’s the Willys Service Bulletin that announced the Kaiser Willys Supercharger, along with the manual and a few pics of a super charger at the bottom of the post (from a 2014 post).
Kaiser Supercharger Manual:
UPDATE: I obtained a copy of this Kaiser Willys News, Volume 1, Number 4, off of ebay. Previously, all I had was a low resolution copy. This issue includes stories and photos about the Yakima Ridge Runners (last page).
Page 1 covers sales contents. Page two includes a short article about how a jeep won a road race in Las Vegas, but a search of vintage newspapers did not yield any more information. Page three is unusual in its description of the efforts to encourage wives to support their husband’s sales efforts.
Page 4 and 5 covers sales tips. Page 6 has an interesting diagram of an automatic transmission tools board, with enough detail to recreate it for a museum.
Page 7 includes a story with some details that might help someone recreate the 1954 Cavalcade of jeeps. As mentioned before, page 8 covers the Yakima Ridge Runners, among other stories.

2025 Mecum Kissimmee Wrap Up
The 2025 Mecum Auction finished up on Sunday and there were a number of Willys / Kaiser Era Jeeps Present.
Auctions can be tricky with valuations hit and miss depending on the audience and buyers present.
While not a perfect system largely due to documentation is only as good as the Auction house gets and they cannot be the experts in all makes and models. So, there is always a few lots that may have errors and omissions.
Here is a brief summary of the listing that caught my eye on their site.
You can find more information on these lots at their website, that is where these screenshots came from.

Vintage 1940s Hand Made Folk Art Metal Flat Fender Toy CJ Willys Jeep & Trailer (SOLD)
“Andy’s Picks”
This one is already SOLD, but here is the link and some photos for record.
Sold for $183.50 but it had 25 Bids so not bad # of bids.
I will give the seller some credit on the quality and number of photos, it’s a really great find for someone to start or add to their collection.
Item description from the seller
This is the second toy from a collection of hand made folk art toys I bought from the original owners. This one is another incredible all-metal heavy gauge steel work of art. Very nicely done early flat fender style Willys Jeep and trailer. Amazing how someone fabricated and welded this thing together with such detail. Has a steering wheel but no actual steering. The hood opens nut no engine detail (forgot to take out a non-related tire in pics). All wheels roll fine. Trailer is just as impressive with heavy duty hitch and pin with safety chain. Weighs over 7 lbs!! Measures about 21″ long. Amazing one of a kind piece of folk art. Child owner wrote 1942 on trailer and 1947 on Jeep. I don’t normally place a reserve on my toys but I’ve got a reasonable one as I may want to keep it.
Vintage Glass Willys Candy Holder $20
https://boise.craigslist.org/clt/d/nampa-vintage-glass-willys-jeep-candy/7817531547.html
Vintage glass Willys Jeep candy holder figurine. Located in Nampa, ID.
$20 can’t go wrong for a small add to a collection.
UPDATE: I only had small ebay pics of this issue for years, but I was finally able to win a copy off of eBay. Plus, at the bottom is a notebook that must have been given out at the Hotel Astor event pictured on the top front page. I expect there is a Vol 1, No 1 issue out there somewhere, but I don’t have any pics of it yet.
You’ll notice this issue focuses primarily on the Willys cars, though there are two photos of a CJ-3B. Give the Willys-asset purchase was begun only nine months earlier, maybe the execs were still figuring out how they wanted to talk about the 4WD related vehicles?
Note book from February 1954 meeting. Other than the front page, it’s a series of lined-pages for taking notes.

1962 Wagon Albany, OR $6,500
https://corvallis.craigslist.org/cto/d/albany-willys-wagon/7818826484.html
’62 Wagon, +Mid Year so should have the better steering, looks like it was a 230_OHC Tornado rig, the heater box and firewall cut out are all there still.
The spare tire mount in the back even has the small block of wood that can be hard to come across at times. But looks to me missing the large special bolt. Missing the seats in the pictures, also some small bits on the interior but overall kinda complete, door cards and handles are all there.
Trim looks straight, bumpers are all there.
Column has been swapped out as well. 454 Big Block is a lot of power for a Wagon.
Seller’s Description
1962 wagon 454 Chevy Big Block, runs but needs rebuilt. Great starting point for a nice project. Extra parts available. ($5,500 with different wheels and tires)
