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 .
The seller indicates this was a Park Avenue tape measure? It’s the first one I’ve ever listed here at eWillys. Must be pretty rare.

Education Elements is willing to pay $2500-$3000 for renting a small vintage jeep that is in good looking condition for an event happening in San Antonio October 25-28. Based on my conversation with him a CJ-2A/3A/3B/DJ/or CJ-5 would likely be the best fit.
Education Elements is an education consulting company located in CA that is participating at an event happening in San Antonio TX in October. The company is presenting at 5 sessions and hosting a booth and would like to decorate the booth with an old Jeep (as a symbol of the journey the road trip, the adventure..) The audience of the conference is only educators and district leaders, so no kids to play around 🙂
The car won’t be driven, it will be simply placed indoor at a booth, as decor element. It will be indoor, inside the convention center.

This is a rare Alaskan Postal Delivery Service Scrambler.
“This is a Rare Right Hand Drive (RHD) Jeep Scrambler CJ-8.
Jeep made around 230 of these Scramblers in 1984 for the Alaskan Postal Delivery Service.
This Jeep runs and drives, however once she is warmed up she tends to want to stall out at stoplights if you don’t feather the throttle a bit. Rather than messing with the single barrel carb on there, I have a rebuilt dual barrel Motorcraft 2100 ready to be installed, but have not yet had the time.
The details are as follows:
The drive train of this Jeep is stock (carbureted 4.2 L 6 cylinder with automatic trans)
4WD works
Rare World Cab Hard Top, only sold in USA on these 230 Alaskan Jeeps. All other Scramblers were sold as Pickup Trucks in the US! South America got these world cab or Overland cab tops, but very few of those in US!

“Here’s something one won’t see on eBay every day…….This is a custom-made wooden roof assembly that fits a Willys CJ2-A civilian jeep of the immediate post-WW2 era. The story I have heard most of my life is that a neighbor of ours purchased a new 1948 CJ2-A and, after a few years, wanted something more stylish than the canvass top that had come with it. He commissioned a local furniture-maker, whose name is long lost to the ages, to design and construct this wooden “station wagon”-like roof assembly.
My late father bought the jeep with both tops in 1968 and stored the wooden roof on the second floor of his garage for many years. Around 1980 he sold the jeep, but he kept the wooden top. Fast forward to approx 2000, when I bought a haggard CJ2-A from a co-worker. Since it had no roof, installed the wooden one. The pictures seen with this auction show the wooden roof still perched on my red Jeep. It is possible this roof may fit the CJ3A with flathead engine and maybe even a WW2 military jeep, but I have NO experience with either model and can only say for certain that it will fit a CJ2-A…… Continue reading

“Selling my 1956 Willys Pickup. Powered by 231 Buick V6, 3 speed with Borg Warner overdrive. Runs well. Has new aluminum radiator, water pump, t-stat, Willys America brakes parts (hoses, shoes, cylinders) new brake lines, dual master from Herm the overdrive guy.

I’ve owned this truck for 7 years and time for me to pass it on to a new owner. Does it need work? Of course. Restore or just drive it as is, it has great patina. It’s made several trips to Willys America. I’ve got a few spares to go with it including a nice stock recovered bench seat to go with it. $4600 and drive it home with your name on the pink slip.”

“I am selling two Jeep forward controls, one is a 1960, it is in very rough condition, but it is all there. It is blue, has a 3 speed manual trans, 4 cylinder engine, I have ran it on starting fluid, and it even has a sunroof (not factory). I bought it last year as a project, but I would rather sell it and put the money towards another project that I have.
I also have a second FC 150 I bought for parts. It is a 1957, green, only has a cab, no bed, the frame was cut right behind the rear axle, so it is no good. But almost everything in front of the rear axle is there. Both windshields are broken, and a couple of the door windows are also broken, but I have good glass for the back three windows. Both are 12 volt, and neither of them have titles, green cab has a vin plate, but blue one doesn’t. Let me know if you have any questions. Not splitting them up”
Unclear if it runs or not. Might have some interesting history. Sounds like it could be a project.

The Gypsy Rose Lee Jeep is a stripped down version of the regular jeep for airborne troops (one of a variety developed). Made of “plastic plywood”, it was almost a 1,000lbs lighter than the standard 2,200lb jeep. You might also know the jeep as the MB-L. This article, of which the Gypsy Rose Lee was a part, was published in the December 1947 issue of Willys Overland Unity Magazine.
The 41st Annual Military Vehicle Preservation Association International Convention will be August 11-13, 2016 in Pleasanton, CA, USA at the Alameda County Fairgrounds. See 200 vehicles including a “75th Anniversary of the Jeep” line up. Host hotel, onsite camping, living history, dinners, offsite excursions, vendors, seminars. Even “Troop Train” rides! Open to the public, some activities for MVPA members only. See all info on www.MVPA.org.
I imagine the only thing that would have made this better for soldiers is if women had been serving the ice cream!
