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 .
Today we did a few things around Salt Lake and then enjoyed some Peruvian food with my kids. One the drive home we ran across an automobile shop called the Kar Klinic. In the parking lot were jeeps and in a back lot were jeeps. There were several references to jeep repair with shop rates at $65.
Roger Martin captured some of the farm jeep events at last weekend’s Willys Jeep Rally at Hueston Woods State Park in south west Ohio.
Roger writes, These were taken at Green Pasture Farms,owned by John and Phyllis Ittel. Many of the working Jeeps are theirs. Rick Riley (one of the event organizers owns the backhoe w/blade and others).
The Ittel’s Jeeps have a license plate with their names. The first is John’s Jeep using a post hole digger:
A 3 point hitch w/scoop and a green hydraulic pump is running on John’s red CJ-3B:
Great bit of history.
“WWII Women Auto Mechanics of U.S. Army Ordnance Division with Jeep Press Photo”
UPDATE: Was on eBay.
This is the brochure that’s printed on newspaper.
“This is a 1944 1945 Willys Overland CJ2 CJ-2A brochure. This is printed on a news paper like paper. It is 71 years old and shows its age but in very good condition. There are no major tears or holes and would make a great display piece. This is a very rare brochure. If you have a VEC (Very Early CJ) and would like to collect the print material this is one you don’t want to miss. I’m only selling my collection because of personal matters. It’s better to sell the brochures than the jeep.”
Looks solid.
“Not representing M38A1 as “restored” but a great brought back to life Parade unit you can have fun in without worrying about scratching it.
Fully rebuilt engine by Ball Engines – less than 500 miles on the jeep since rebuilt as a whole unit.
5 almost brand new GOODYEAR MT/R Kevlar tires. Might not be era correct but these babies are sweet.
Almost all new canvas with its padding for all the seats – YES it has the passenger and rear seats.
Converted was the unhooking of the voltage regulator which is still mounted but a CAT 24 volt alternator installed – system is still 24 volt. 24 volt battery has a disconnect switch.
*needs wiper arms with blades – dash cluster wiring harness – air filter clamp and whatever else you prefer to do to it to make it yours. But we drive it when we can and have fun.
BOS sale only and sale is CASH ONLY – no money orders – no certified checks so do not offer.
Do not contact with ANY solicitations and non serious questions about the jeep.
Buyer responsible for driveaway or transportation after sale.”

Seller is willing to trade.
“I picked this Jeep up in a trade, currently licensed and registered, I have difficulty in getting in and out of jeep so now I need to sell or trade it for something I can get in and out of easier. I prefer a vehicle pre 1970, I prefer a car and it must be licensed and in good running condition, it can be fair condition cosmetically.”
Seller notes something needs fixing.

It’s an ex-forestry jeep.
“Mostly complete. Will need a complete restoration or would make a good parts vehicle to complete a restoration already in progress. It has frame rust through on drivers side (shown in picture) but it could be repaired. The transmission moves freely. The motor is in unknown condition and will not turn.

<– Day 51 – Mon. Jun. 1st: Black Canyon of the Gunnison | TRIP OVERVIEW | Day 53-54 – June 3rd-4th: The Journey Home –>
Intrepid photographer at work.
There’s an area of eastern Utah just north of I-70 called the Book Cliffs that has remained pretty remote. On Tuesday, I decided to go from I-70, north along dirt roads through the Book Cliffs, in hopes of reaching State Highway 40, which crosses Utah from Salt Lake City to Vernal. The biggest problem I had was that my 50-page Utah map marked non-paved roads with dashes and the dashes, as they intersected at odd angles, made the map’s roads tough to read. In addition, the roads weren’t marked well on the map. So, I expected it might be a challenge.
Overall route.
Closeup of our route across the remote planes and up the book cliffs.
On Tuesday we left later than planned, due to my sleeping in. We traveled west on I-70 from Grand Junction until we reached the exit for Mack, Colorado. From there, we followed State Highway 6 hoping to find a road called the Book Cliffs Ridge Road, which we never found because Colorado didn’t mark the road that way. Instead, they used some number that didn’t appear on any of the maps we had. Still, by process of elimination, we figured out which road was the Book Cliffs Ridge road.
Entering the cliffs.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,000
