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 .

“Some restoration. Solid body and tires. Replacement engine. Winch and roll bars”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5500.
(01/18/2014) I don’t often see a Capstan Winch on a CJ-5.
“Up for sale is a 1959 Willys Cj-5 with a rare Braden J-2 Capstan winch. The jeep runs and drives great but the brakes are inop. Trans/t-case are in working order. The engine starts right up and runs great with the exception of the exhaust needing to be replaced. The Capstan winch is complete and operates smoothly. The winch is correct for a WWII Willys Mb or Ford Gpw and would look great on your restoration. It can also be left on the Jeep like it is currently for that oopsy when you get stuck on the trail. I have a clear Michigan title. I also have many other Willys Jeeps and parts. E-mails will not be responded to. Please call (906) two eight seven fourteen hundred”

North Washington Trip | July 30th Oroville to Colville –>
US near the pass on road FS 37, northeast of Winthrop, WA
MONDAY: Pasco to Winthrop 
We left Pasco at noon on Monday the 28th. It was already 100 degrees. It’s a good thing the jeep has air-conditioning! There was nothing particularly interesting (or I should say it’s a drive I’ve done often enough to be bored with it) until we reached Dry Falls State Park, which once was the site of the largest waterfall in the world. As you can see from the pics, the view is pretty good. They had some pretty good looking food, too. We had ice-cream.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was sold at live auction.
Maggie spotted this CJ-5 with some extras. I’ve don’t remember seeing a jeep this late with a lift on it.
“1974 CJ5 Jeep with Blade and Bucket Single Bottom Plow Attachments 3,500 Miles Showing”
If that’s how Roberto Flores rolls, it’s time to visit!
This November 1942 article from Popular Mechanics titled “Miracle on Wheels” featured the jeep and shared some of the success stories from its use internationally. You can read the entire issue on Google or purchase a cheap copy off of eBay

Here’s a neat Northern Pacific Railroad ad from the 1952 November issue of the Saturday Evening Post featuring a Willys Hy-Rail Wagon.
I also ran across this Southern Pacific Hi-Rail Wagon from freerails.com:

Looks like a good price.

For our anniversary (which is today) we are taking a short trip through northeastern Washington. Above is an approximate map of our trip. We head to Winthrop today, then will make our way through some forest service roads before taking backroads to Oroville. Then we plan to hang as far north as we can before we drop down to Newport (or somewhere close to that).
This photograph is part of a Popular Mechanics article from October, 1959. The article highlights the success American car manufacturers were having by producing cars in the San Paulo region, which the writer describes as the ‘Chicago’ of South America.
