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 early CJ-5 has some passenger side floor rust, but over all this might be a good restoration candidate (apart from the price). It has a good Kelly hardtop.

“Had leather full soft top additional full top. Transmission additional rims and tires.”
Here’s safari tour jeep train postcard from Jungle Larry’s African Safari out of Naples, Florida. It looks like the CJ-5 jeep is pulling a tram.
There is also a website devoted to the memory of Jungle Larry and his wife Safari Jane.

This photo is published on the Jungle Larry website on the store page. I don’t believe it is the same CJ-5 as the stripes are a little different along the driver’s side and the rear bodies are different (along with the lack of top and windshield).
This 8×10 black and white photo shows a Hemet Jeep Club member climbing a hill in his CJ-6. It may have been taken as part of one of their annual cavalcade events.

Listed as an MB, it has GPW tool box lids. From the front, I can’t tell if it has a GPW crossmember or not, as it kind of looks like it curves the entire way.

UPDATE: Still Available (I’m surprised).
(12/22/2022) Andy spotted this CJ-5 with a rear PTO gearbox. It looks like it may have had a lift at one time. I can’t tell what’s in the bed now.

“1956 Willys original Farm Jeep, Has a Plow Frame and the original Willy’s PTO and a Clean Michigan Title Currently does Not run and must be towed will possibly accept trades for a Similar Condition Military M38a1 Jeep or other vintage military vehicle”
Could be worth a look. Has an f-head.

“Has a clean title, don’t know much about it it otherwise Has had a converted steering box to maybe a later model cheap non power steering Cj3a jeep f head engine Started but doesn’t run and drive yet”
TJ spotted this seemingly good price.
Https://www.facebook.com/commerce/products/two-willys-f-head-134-motors/8887561454619814
“2 Willys F Head 134 Motors. Both turn over. Light Blue ran good when pulled. $350 for both. Cash only.”
Has some minor mods and some bondo on the driver’s side at the very least.

“1948 willys cj2-a This is a fun jeep to drive, it runs and drives down the road great. The fourwheel drive works as it should and it has a clean title. It has been converted to 12volt system. Had plans to restore this jeep but have too many projects and not enough time. Its a good jeep to drive around the way it is or do a full restore and it to car shows and parades.”
You’ll want to check the body closely, as it has floor patches and modifications to the steps.

“Good running jeep. Solid. Older paint. Runs drives and stops. Brakes have not been serviced in awhile so would di so before putting on the road. 4×4 and high low work. Roll bar. Windshield has small crack. Has front tow bar. Tires are good. Clean title. Comes with spare tire.”
Given the Kelly half cab, there might be some value here.

“1966 project . Cj5.no title.manual transmission 1st and reverse are out so needs transmission. Dauntless v6”
UPDATE: I *think* things are back to normal? Well, not so much normal. I will do a few updates before our trip, then a few scattered updates plus some reruns during our week-long trip.
Due to ongoing updates to the site’s software framework, no updates Thursday morning.
UPDATE: Comments are now fixed.
I hope everyone enjoyed the temporary break! It is easy to forget that a website is always one corrupted file away from going down.
Speaking of breaks, we have a week trip planned to Arizona starting Monday. It won’t be a slow winding trip, as 1) we need to get down and back in a week’s time (cows and home responsibilities) are a big reason for the quick trip; 2) we have a small not-bad weather window for coming back; and 3) we have reduced our social interactions, because both Ann and I had some sucky, lingering long-covid issues last year (so, we reduced our exposure to folks and take pre-cautions; I am finally feeling like my old self).
One of our objectives is to pick up a Muller top frame in California that Mike has been kind enough to save for me. I plan to rebuild one for Biscuit following the original plans (probably next fall or winter, which is likely when I’ll have time to finally address Lost Biscuit.
Our second objective is to test drive and purchase a new vintage jeep. I look forward to sharing the news should everything go as we expect!
These three Warn brochures are on eBay.
For a couple weeks I’ve been having problems loading some images from Facebook Marketplace in my safari browser (I can load the same pages successfully in other browsers like Firefox and Google Chrome). This is an annoying issue because, obviously, it means I can’t see some ads for use on eWillys.
I finally determined that Facebook is experimenting with using Google’s “.WEBP” format for some pics. The solution is to update my Safari browser. Okay, that’s doable.
My problem is that the WordPress version I run (the platform under the eWillys skin) won’t let me post those files, which means I have to move those images to a photo program, then resave them as jpegs.Well, that’s a pain I don’t need!
So, I need to update my WordPress instance, but sometimes that breaks things. So, if Ewillys goes down, I tried updating and things didn’t go well. (I have other sites that update just fine, but my eWillys webhost has locked down the eWillys files tightly, which is both good (for security) but bad (for me manipulating things).
Anyway, if some of you also have the problem with broken images in some Facebook Marketplace ads, that’s likely why (Only seems to happen in some auto ads).
Appear solid. Has some updates and a few changes.

“1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A. Mostly original. Has flanged axel rear end with posi. Original flat head 3 speed 5.38 geared. 31 10.50 tires. Seats have been recovered it has been repainted. This is a trail jeep it does have a few minor scratches.”
UPDATE: I had this as a 1978 issue, but I think it may actually be from 1979.
After a year of 20 page newsletters, this one and the next one were cut to twelve pages. This includes an extra flyer advertising jeep equipment. The readers letters section (pg 2-3) contains descriptions of clubs that match my memories of being in a club.
I received the latest issue of Dispatcher Magazine yesterday. In it, John Gunnel discusses Howard Tibbal, his huge circus model, and circus jeeps, while Barry Thomas shares how Henry Ford saved the jeep.
Roberto shared some jeep art he’s done recently. If you are interested in having him illustrated something, you can reach him through http://robertoflores.com.
