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 .

Let’s end the year on this cheery note. This article discussed the usefulness of jeeps following atomic bomb attacks and other, more natural disasters. It filled two pages of the June 1955 issue of Willys News. Given the ‘blast’ artistry in the middle of the article, it didn’t reformat for the web as easily as most articles.
One more Santa post. Jalopnik posted this rendition of Santa driving a ‘jeep’ that was painted by Australian James Higgins Quirk in the 1950s. The original image is part of a digital collection at the Museum Victoria.
Blaine spotted this new pedal jeep for sale at Genuine Hot Rod.
“This pedal car captures the look of that classic flat-fendered trail runner preferred by all-terrain kids. It’s constructed of durable stamped steel, with smooth-turning pedals and steering, and steel wheels wrapped in soft, knobbed tires. Measures 33 1/2” L x 16” W x 15” H, perfect for kids 3-6 years old.”

Here’s a heart warming story of a boy, a girl, a jeep and a Merry Christmas!
Mike writes, I wanted to take the time to share with you my Christmas present from my girlfriend. She arranged to have a local artist put together a liquor/wine bar made from the back end of a 49′ Willys. Don’t worry, the jeep was beyond repair. This bar is catered towards my specific hobbies such as my 46′ Willys, my love for Scotch, plus a few other things. I think she’s a keeper!!! Both my girlfriend and the bar!
Joe Snodgrass (aka Joe from Mesa) was visiting his folks for the holidays and had a chance to go through some old albums of his father’s and grandfather’s. He found a few jeeps.
My Dad (CPL John W. Snodgrass) served in Kobe Japan as part of the Army of Occupation. This and the next two pics were taken in Kobe in 1947.
Sergeant of the Guard, Security Guard” on the cowl, and another jeep among Quonset huts at Kobe.
“Dan” from Milwaukee, an Army buddy of Joe’s father’..
My Grandfather (Walter H. Snodgrass) served in the Philippines during WWII. Here’s a pic of LT Hitchcock, whom my grandfather knew from Ft. McDowell (Angel Island, in SF Bay), that he ran into there after the invasion.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was For Trade.
“I’ve come across hard times, and need to sell/trade my 1949 Willys Wagon.
It’s in very good shape for its age, and is 99% original, with a few upgrades.
I don’t really really want to throw a price out, but will say I could use a strong running full size truck or van, looks aren’t as important. Preferably a manual trans., and 4 wheel drive. Something that will tow a small household, and something ready to drive across country right now, with no major problems. I’m willing to trade outright, or throw in some cash.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5600.
(10/30/2014) The driver’s side step is a little bent.

Non-running.
“1947 CJ2A Willys Jeep. Jeep appears to be all original but will need some work. This old Willys spent most if not all of it’s life on a cattle ranch above Springville, CA. It has the original L134 flathead motor and the motor is free but I haven’t tried to start it. Most of the floor forward of the cargo area is rusted out and will have to be replaced. The original square cornered windshield with the push out two part center glass is included but that also needs some work.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4400

Extra windshield with motor and misc moldings.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3300.
(09/24/2014) Seller says this ‘will’ go fast. Unclear if it currently goes fast.
“1949 jeep willy– must see!! It will go fast! A very nice project, no rust, clean title, need to connect the gas tank, front lights, I have many extra parts ( new & original) Again this is a PROJECT.. ONLY SERIOUS BUYERS! Also you will need a trailer to take the jeep… Thank you“
Mosquito abatement departments powered a large number of jeep sales. This June 1955 article highlights the sale of jeeps to the Chicago District’s South Cook County area.
Whether dragging wood or ferrying kids, this april 1956 article in Willys News reported that jeeps were used in a variety of ways. Unfortunately, no pics were included.
Looks like a comfortable place to sleep to me.
