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 $4500.

(06/16/2015) I’ve never seen a wiring jumper on the dash.
“A 134 ci I4 “Go Devil” engine and Borg-Warner T-90 3-speed manual transmission are paired to power this civilian-model utility truck. It features an factory-optional removable aluminum top, vinyl bucket seating, new tires and spare, 12-volt system upgrade, and some maintenance records and manuals. With 55,288 on the odometer, it’s in good overall condition!
This vehicle is located at Route 65 Classics, a licensed dealership in Ham Lake, Minnesota. Please contact us for more information. To see our other cars, trucks, motorcycles, and more, click “more ads by this user” or visit our website, Route65Classics.com. We look forward to hearing from you!”
In 1959 Belleview Manufacturing introduced an electric winch. The company sold them (6000lb and 8000lb versions) through Warn Industries, since they manufactured other products for Warn also. However, based on the ad below, they may have marketed them to other resellers, since the ad doesn’t mention Warn at all.
The ad below was in the March 9, 1967, issue of the Sundance Times, a Wyoming newspaper. By the time the ad appeared, Warn had already purchased all the Belleview Manufacturing Stock, as the small caption below Thurston Warn’s photo indicates (which is on eBay). The next year, Thurston Warn became President of Warn.
That first pic is particularly neat.
“1942- Pair of press photos showing U.S. troops moving a jeep across river by wrapping the lower part in waterproof canvas and “poling” it through the water. Photos measure approx. 7″ x 9″ ”

Based on the chrome front bumper, this CJ-5 might have an early Tuxedo package. It also seems to have an extended bed on the rear. There was a note on the back of the photo that suggested this might be part of the Jeep Jamboree.
“1963 Press Photo Jeep El Dorado national Forest – This is an original press photo. Jeep El Dorado national Forest Photo measures 10 x 8inches. Photo is dated 08-04-1963.”

Since Rebuild it has never spent a night outside. It is as dirty in the photos as it ever gets. Over $15,000 into the paint and finish work on this jeep. Engine and Trans professionally rebuilt.. This jeep was nearly perfect before work started. ”
Looks great with that “Rocket” engine. A couple things don’t work.
“This is a one of a kind Jeepster. The Jeepsters were made until 1950 but those sold in 1951 were registered as 51’s, such is the case here. It currently has a mid 50’s Oldsmobile Rocket 324 cubic inch V8 with the (slim jim)hydromatic trans. The car went thru a amateur renovation 5 years ago but is holding up quite well. The paint still shines and the custom upholstery us unused. The car is rarely driven hence the reason for selling. The top is 5 years old but the car is rarely used and always kept under cover. The side curtains(windows) have never been used and are still new. The engine runs like a top and is quite powerful especially in a car as light as the Jeepster. The 4 speed auto trans shifts clean and hard. The after market turn signals work. This car attracts a great deal of attention when driven. Reasonable offer will be considered. The car is absent a heater and the wind shield wipers don’t work and it has no radio.”
