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: **SOLD** Was $9500.
UPDATE: I mentioned that this could be brought back to original without too much expense. Brian challenged me on that claim (thank you) and determined it could roughly cost about $5800 to do so. Therefore, I shall modify my earlier claim and say that this could be returned to a more militaryish theme without too much effort or expense. 🙂

— Vintage Jeep Enthusiasts to Drive the Entire Alaska Highway
in ‘Willys’ Jeeps Over Five Day, 1,500 Mile Adventure —
PASCO, WASHINGTON– February 03, 2017– This July, to celebrate its 75th anniversary, a group of travelers from across the United States and Canada will drive the entire Alaska Highway in vintage Jeeps. The trip, dubbed ‘Alaska Or Rust,’ will span five days and cover the nearly 1,500 miles between the famed highway’s start in Dawson Creek, British Columbia, and the end at Fairbank, AlaskaA
The group will launch as three separate caravans: one from the East Coast, led by Bill Reiss, one from the Midwest, led by Scott Gilbert, and one from the West Coast, led by David Eilers. On their way to Dawson Creek, each caravan will make scheduled stops where additional travelers can join. Upon arrival at the highway’s entrance, the three groups will merge and convoy together throughout the whole of the Alaska Highway.
“The beauty of this trip is that it isn’t the high-speed, air-conditioned affair that’s become so common on the Alaska Highway,” said Bill Reiss, another of the trip’s organizers. “We’re driving our old, beloved Jeeps—models from the 40s, 50s and 60s—and by doing so, we’re paying homage to the rugged and beautiful story of both the Jeep brand and the Alaska Highway. It’s an adventure for us and a tribute to some incredible history.”
The ‘Alaska or Rust’ caravan has already attracted attention from sponsors like JP Magazine, a favorite periodical of vintage Jeep lovers, which will send a contributor, Traci Clark, to document the journey. Two sponsors have already joined the effort, Allied Jeeps and Overland Diesel. Additional sponsors will be announced shortly.
Fans are encouraged to join the adventure by following the group’s Website, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts, which will update as connectivity allows. Additionally, a daily trip recap will be posted on organizer Dave Eilers’ trade publication, eWillys.com.
To join the trip, learn more or sponsor a portion of the journey, visit www.alaskaorrust.com.
About the Alaskan Highway:
The Alaska Highway was constructed during World War II for the purpose of connecting the contiguous United States to Alaska across Canada. It begins at the junction with several Canadian highways in Dawson Creek, British Columbia, and runs to Delta Junction, Alaska, via Whitehorse, Yukon. Completed in 1942 at a length of nearly 1,500 miles long, the highway was opened to the public in 1948. Legendary for being a rough, challenging drive, the highway proved perfect for showing off the capabilities of early military Jeeps.

Craig spotted this ad. It has some type of “garage door rear door”. We aren’t sure if this means a roll up door or a swing up door. Anyone have ideas on this?
“1963 jeep, motor is free and turns by hand. Ran when parked. My wife road in it as a child, we bought it hoping to clean it up some but have not had the time or extra money to do it. Need some body work and what ever it takes to get it running again. Has a hard top on it with a garage type rear door. Rear seats face inward. We also have a spare frame, windshield, and other miscellaneous stuff to go with it. $2000 or best offer. I am told it started life as a forest ranger jeep in the Adirondacks.”

Something a little different.
“1948 willys stock drivetrain with a 1959 Anglia escort body. Car sat for a very long time. Story is two long for this listing but could tell it if need be. It needs lots of tlc. It runs and drives and has great potential for someone with time money and a place to work on it as it is still a project. put in plugs, pts, cap, rotor, new master cylinder, some tires and wheels. Wheels are original 16″ jeep wheels. Brakes need adj, some wiring. Body is good. Wheel wells flaired but no rust after 25 years. Would consider trade for MG. I need more of a practical driver as I have no extra cash to speed up the project. Please text or call Jeff ”

I could use one of those snowplows this year!
“This is an original vintage press photo. Thirteen new jeeps with snowplows attached have arrived for delivery to the Milwaukee’s Department of Public Works. They will be used in winter for fulfilling city contracts for sidewalk plowing. They can also be used with lawn mower attachments. The fleet will be added to similar equipment already on hand. Future purchase of more is under consideration. George Renno, 1350 South 98th Street, town of Wauwatosa, a passer-by, looked over the vehicles at Greenfield Motor Sales, 9800 West Greenfield Avenue, town of Wauwatosa. The jeeps cost $2,087 each. Photo measures 10 x 8.25 inches. Photo is dated 04-02-1952.”
Craig spotted this unusual ad. Note that the grille has a cut at the driver side bottom (probably for power steering.

“I am a artist/craftsman who works in an extremely high end furniture company. I just purchased a front WILLY’S JEEP clip to turn around into a bar and I have the windshield frame too. I would love to sell it first and be able to work with the person buying it. Choices could be made about color, numbers added to the side, star on hood, type of woods to use, glass shelving & lighting etc. Other jeep parts also available to make into furniture objects…Lamps etc
This piece can be sold all together or in sections. ( I could break it down into 2 – 3 separate pieces). I can show you work that I’ve done. Deposit required and then payment in full when piece is done so both parties feel good about the deal.
Here is a pic of the clip in my studio. I would be more than happy for you to come by and discuss..Could be a real cool piece when it’s done.
I can also be available to install my own work at your home/business and/or fabricate it into a custom space.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9900.
Craig spotted this one. Looks in good shape. Nice half cab top.
“Very nice and original jeepster. Original dauntless v6 engine with 3 speed tranny. 4wd. Absolutely no rust Arizona history and a very straight accident free body. Runs and drives good .

Comes with a canoe / ladder rack and a spare tire. Also has the original seat for the cab and a seat for the bed. Excellent tow vehicle behind motor home or very fun driver for these nice fall days and gets complements every time I drive it. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500.
Looks good. I can’t tell what type of hubs the has.
“If your looking for a classic Jeep and your looking for something fun to do this new year 2017, consider checking out this one. It runs and drives better than any other early CJ I have come across.
I’m a “Flat Fender” enthusiast and have owned many of these so I can tell you with certainty, that this is the one you want for all the important reasons.
Runs like a sewing machine and has good compression.
Very well maintained. If something broke it was fixed properly and in keeping with originality.
Fresh paint and tires and the steering, brakes and running gear are in excellent driving condition.
If you don’t find what your looking for here then let me help you find the right one at the fair price. It’s my passion and hobby!
Don’t be afraid to ask.”
