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 price seems a tad high for a jeep that doesn’t look like its moved in some time. No description and only one photo.

Press photo that references a “peep” rather than a jeep. It is one of a series of photos showing military maneuvers to demonstrate the Hawaii was safe from attack, even by “hordes of Japanese: soldiers.
“1942- Communications “Peep” set up in a pineapple field during maneuvers in Hawaii.”

For those that enjoy Verne Simmons’ articles, John let me know that he’s published a new one that updates readers on his 1949 Cj-3A. Verne has done numerous articles about work he’s done one the jeep over the past sixteen years.

This appears to be some kind of Christmas photo with the jeep acting as the reindeer for a sleigh prop in the back. No information is included with the photo.

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $18,599.
Lots of time and money in this rig.
“This is my pride and joy that I built for myself not to flip but now after completing the build I never have time to use it so I finished it 3 years ago and as you can see it has just over a 1000 miles on it and most of that is driving around town!! I have taken it across the Rubicon 3 times and across Fordyce once. I DO NOT trailer it every time, I drive it straight up I-80 thru Lake Tahoe to the Rubicon and back home it is registered street legal although it is pushing it with CHP!! I can tell you that pictures do not do this Willy’s justice you will not be disappointed to see and hear it in person it is very clean and capable of any trail.
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $15,000

This appears to have an early tub.
“Calling all Vintage Jeep Lovers! This one is a project for just the right person. This vintage jeep was in the process of being redone when the owner died suddenly. The body, transmission, and engine are surprisingly sound. The owner had taken many parts off and had obtained replacements including seats, and electrical wiring, but unfortunately was unable to finish the project. As you can see in the photo, it includes a front tow bar. Again, its a project but great when done! ”

Ann loves her selfie stick! Here we are in front of the upper reservoir of Hells Canyon along the Snake River.
We had a good time during our recent trip to Hells Canyon. It wasn’t hellish at all! From Boise, we followed I-84 north until it reached the juncture of US-95. We followed US-95 until it reached the tiny town of Cambridge. From there we followed State Highway 81, a curvy and hilly (some 7% grades) road. Given we were driving the motorhome our trip along that road was pretty slow. We followed it over hills and through valleys until we dropped (steep drop) into the Brown Lee reservoir (fed by the Snake River) and found the Woodhead Campground, one of several campgrounds operated by Idaho Power in the area. We didn’t look at the campground too closely, but there were trees and manicured grass among the camping slots.
An overview of our drive from Boise to Copperfield on Friday the 19th. We camped at the Copperfield campground then drove on Saturday home via Richland, Oregon.
This map shows more details about the drive from Cambridge, Idaho, to Richland, Oregon.

Listed as a military jeep, it is obviously a civilian jeep.

(04/30/2015) It runs, but with a Chevy engine.
“1944 Willy’s Jeep. Body in fair condition drive train in excellent condition, runs great it does have a Chevy Iron Duke 4 cylinder engine, which is a common replacement for the flat head 4 cylinder engine that it came with and is easier to get parts. It is Titled and ready to up on the Mesa Monument or where ever you take it. This Jeep is a Military Jeep and is not geared for highway driving. Reasonable offers will be considered.”
Might be some value here.
“1950 Willy’s Overland 2WD Station Wagon project. This truck has been updated with a 350 engine and an automatic transmission. The truck has been parked for about a year and a half.
