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 .

Dan & Jean’s 1950 Willys-Overland Jeep Station Wagon
I was doing some research on a Willys Overland site in downtown Denver when I stumbled upon a blog from 2013 about Jean and Dan. They rebuilt a 1950 Wagon they called Jenny, then traveled 10,300 miles through 15 states to visit 12 western National Parks over 63 days.
This link summarizes the trip, with the latest posts at the top: http://www.ati-engineers.com/blog.
there are lots of pics and videos.

This example video highlights a drive across Hoover Dam, with music playing and the engine chugging happily:

Looks in great shape. Doesn’t look like it has ever been mounted. It appears to be a lightweight body similar to the racing body I used to have. But, mine worked great for jeeping, too.
“Found this fiberglass replacement body in my uncle’s barn while cleaning it out after he sold the ranch. He said he bought it for a ’43 Willys he was planning to restore (but clearly never did). I don’t know much about these but it seems in good shape – needs a fresh coat of paint, but there are no cracks or breaks that I can see. Body and hood only – no fenders.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Not running.
“Here we have a super rare 1961 jeep Fj3 delivery van.. these were only made for a few years an are sought after for their very uncommon look they have.. this truck is very solid with almost no rust through, it has a small spot down low on drivers side as seen in pics, it has a 4cyl motor an manual transmission, the distributor is missing the points, but motor is free an I’m sure would run with a little tinkering.. inside floor is very solid, all the doors open an close, this is an awesome project to build an would make a great food or coffee truck of some sort. I do have clean title. Truck rolls an steers easily. ”
This has some interesting updates. The fuel inlet has been moved to above the body and through the top. The rear cargo area is wood-lined.

Craig spotted this chassis that’s listed as a 1958 CJ-5. If this has dually adapters, it is definitely worth the price.

Our Uruguayan bureau (Hugo Cicalese) filed this report. Thanks for the update!
I have not looked at you page recently because I was enjoying holidays and driving my CJ-3A. I spent a complete month in the East! In”the East” is where the ocean beaches are located. I took a couple photos while out driving his jeep. The only problem he encountered was a temporally stuck valve seal. Once the engine heated up, it loosened and worked fine.
Wondering around with the Jeep was fantastic! Very nice weather (not very hot or rainy, it happens sometimes). The day I came back I got some rain in the road, nothing to bother with a bikini top.
Next day looking at the news, I read that only 60 km east of me in Punta del Este there was a huge storm (summer storm with lots of rain) and I found this picture in the newspaper. Funny isn’t it?
It is a street full of water, and during the storm the MB could not make it (obviously problem of the driver!!!). Notice in the background there’s a new jeep waiting.
One day while on vacation I visited Piriapolis. I spotted several low hood Jeeps in amazingly very good shape. Around 5. Several CJ5 but these are easier to find. I only had my shorts, no camera or cell!!”
The Bantam Festival is only four months away (as is the Great Willys Picnic which is June 11th this year). Learn more at http://www.bantamjeepfestival.com.
UPDATE: I wanted to thank Gustavo for sending me a sheet of lottery tickets.I received the yesterday. I didn’t win the Costa Rican lottery, but the gift itself is a win! Thanks!
(01/14/2017): Gustavo posted this photo of some tickets from Costa Rica’s national lottery. They use photos of jeeps to encourage ticket purchases.
Soldiers sure spent a lot of time pushing jeeps!
