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 .
This archive.org Signal Corps video has some good shots of jeeps along with the everyday life of a photographer/videographer. Here’s the original link: https://archive.org/details/ADC-4647
Mike spotted this formerly cool custom wagon. It appears to have a lot of rust.

“One of a kind ex show truck. Chop top, sedan delivery, Vista Cruiser wagon roof, tubbed rear with a nine inch Ford. One very cool piece of vintage memorabilia. At one time this truck was a show winning street beast. It sat neglected for years and now needs a total redo. It has rust, especially on the passenger side fender and hood. I have a very nice hood and perfect fender to go with it. The only parts I don’t have is a decent passenger door bottom and rocker. These can be built or bought. I also have a very clean stock Willys dash for it. Continue reading
Frazier came across a fascinating post on the Land Rover Series One Club forum. Apparently, there were discussions between Land Rover and Kaiser Willys about working together or a merger. According to this book about the British Motor Industry, the talks occurred in 1958. After exchanging information and design ideas, it appears Kaiser backed out of the deal.However it happened, Land Rover engineers apparently built a hybrid CJ-5 Land Rover. All the photos can be seen at the Rover forum. You’ll need to sign up with the forum to see all the photos.
According to one of the photo’s captions, Using the transmission and chassis from an 88 inch model (shortened to 83 inches) this hybrid LR/Jeep prototype was created by Land Rover as potential partnership discussions between the two companies were held. Ultimately no association was formed but an interesting prototype all the same.
Robin picked up this FC Weasel recently (thanks to Marty who spotted it on Facebook).
He wrote, After I got this think home two things came to mind. First-What The Heck!!!!! I have no clue about track vehicles. Second (after some research) the build is backwards. The engine should be in front, not in the rear. A really ingenious build actually.
Robin also noted that the floor is made of street signs. Follow this Flickr link for more photos: https://www.flickr.com/photos/alturusphoto/sets/72157656366380805

The engine needs rebuilding, but the jeep looks solid. Seller is an eWillys reader.
“Project 1948 Willys CJ2A. Have Nebraska title signed over to me, but have not been able to transfer to Colorado as the VIN used on the Nebraska tile does not appear on the vehicle. Needs a VIN inspection and bonded title. Unmolested body in very good condition. Floorboards, cargo floor solid. Not a rust bucket. Great Frame. Restoration started, but do to pending move must sell. I was going for a stock rehab. Has a very good L134 Go-Devil engine that is disassembled. Needs light machining for rebuild. Block is very clean, no visible cracks or problems. Transmission/transfer case are still in vehicle, look good. Most parts have been removed, cleaned, primed and painted. Rebuilt the front brakes, hubs, new bearings and seals. Rebuilt Ross steering box and bell crank. Rehabbed windshield and grill. Removed all the old wiring. Most parts and hardware are bagged. boxed and labeled.

Gayland recently visited Red River, New Mexico. On the way he stopped by Russell’s Travel Stop along I-40 on the New Mexico/Texas border. Inside the travel stop is a CJ-2A. Bob stopped by there in 2013. Gayland shared a few of his pics.
When he got to Red River, New Mexico, he spotted multiple jeeps, including this CJ-3B with a unique top.
Burl discovered that Titan Tires still carry Goodyear 4ply Terra Tires. http://www.titanstore.com/info/XTR396
Burl writes, The tires are actually made by Titan Tire; Titan bought the molds from Goodyear. Most listings will only list the 8 ply but there are 28 of the 4 ply tires available if none have sold since I purchased mine.
The fellow to contact is Terry Nagel. He is the factory rep for Goodyear. When I inquired about these in the beginning he checked inventory on the 4 ply and he found 31 each of the 4 ply in, I think he said Cleveland but I could be mistaken on that issue, and are available.
That’s a happy hunter.
