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 .
I think these people are nuts! One slip and you’d get run over by a fancy car, which doesn’t help the pain. No jeeps on the video, but you might remember the similar sport of Jeep-Joring.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
A poster of a penguin driving a Bantam BRC-60 sponsored by Kool Cigarettes. It is 20″ wide by 30″ tall.
“Up for sale is this Super Rare estate fresh WWII era Kool Cigarettes advertising sign / poster featuring Kool’s Willie the Penguin in WWII attire driving a military jeep with a Kool Cigarette Machine Gun on the hood and shells exploding in the background. The poster reads ‘KOOLS The Pack To Take Wherever You Go!’ The bottom of the poster reads ‘Save B&W Coupons for US War Stamps’. The poster measures 30 inches tall by 20 inches wide. The poster is in good condition for its age and has great color although there is a good deal of wear and creases around the edges and holes where the poster had been hung (Please See Photos). These issues don’t take away from this great WWII advertising image and this would make a great addition to any WWII, Advertising, or Tobacco collection.”
Marc spotted this neat photo.

The 23rd Annual Willys Spring Reunion takes place May 15-17 in Hudson, Ohio. This year’s Willys Reunion promises to be a HISTORIC EVENT, with the gathering of AgriJeeps (the first post-war CJ-2 Jeeps), all in one place for the first time since their official introduction at Cesor Farm on July 18, 1945.
The show features technical and non-technical presentations, parts vendors (new/NOS/take-off), Willys folklore, and over 100 Willys and Jeep classics from vintage WWII to the mid-’80s or newer. Special guest speaker at the Saturday night banquet is Bill Norris of the Norris-Banonis Group publishers. Learn more on Facebook or at the 2015 Willys Reunion webpage.

“1959 Willys CJ5 Jeep
Chevy 283 (rebuilt 2007) 2bbl Rochester carb
T90 transmission
Dana 18 T/C with warn all-gear overdrive
Dana 44 rear (5.38) with stock drums, limited slip

Manual steering, Saginaw conversion with cross-over steering
Manual brakes, dual reservoir conversion

Drives great on the light trails and street. Most of the drive train and engine was rebuilt by previous owner (engine in 2007). VIN # matches on tub and frame. Current CA registration. Tires are in great shape. Most of the core mechanical work you would want to do to a Jeep of this era has been completed. The overdrive, Saginaw steering conversion, disc brake conversion and rebuilt motor are worth close to $3,000. Great starting point for a restoration!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
Mostly, but not completely, stock.
“I have 1947 willys jeep for sale. Completely stock!!!! It has the original flat head four cylinder in it. The jeep runs and drives good. The four wheel drive works. This jeep has absolutely no rust. The only thing this jeep has ever been used for was elk hunting. Other than it has been keep in a barn. Out of the whether. Even the original heater in it works awesome.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
This has been stretched 13.5″.
“Interesting little Jeep. At some point someone took the 1957 Jeep Willys body from the frame. They cut and extended the body by 13.5 inches right in the middle of the door frame. They sprayed the under body with a rust inhibitor and dropped the body on a late 80’s CJ-7 frame. The AMC straight 6, transmission, axles and etc are all original to the CJ-7 (as far as I know). Registered as a 57 Willys.
I take it out around town twice a month or so. Good BF Good All Terrains on it. Wanted to tinker with it but don’t have much time or expertise. Now have #2 baby on the way. Make me an offer also interested in a trade for a side by side, 4 wheeler, or bumper pull trailer.
Let me know if you have any questions. I’ll try to answer any questions to the best of my rookie knowledge.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $900.
The lack of a battery cowl lid suggests it has a replacement body.
“1946 Willy’s jeep project. Good start to a cool jeep project. Has hard top, doors, rear door basically all body panels and running gear. And title. ”
Bob Christy has got this for sale on eBay.
“This is the head from a World War II ford GPW jeep. This will fit a willys jeep flathead motor but is made and stamped for the ford version of the Willys mb jeep. It is an “F” script marked part. The casting number is GPW 6050.
This head has been stored for about 30 years in a building. I cleaned it up a bit, took the plugs out of it. Other than that I know nothing about this head, other than it goes on a gpw. The spark plug holes are nice and clean and the gasket surface looks to be in good shape with no pitting or anything. It does not appear to have any cracks or anything but should be checked thoroughly before being installed on your jeep.”

(08/21/2013) This early M-38A1 deserves more pictures. I wonder what that rear cargo looks like.
