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 .

“Here’s a 1949 willys cj2a that my buddy and I was going to fix up but lost interest. We had it running about 3 years ago I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t still run, other than it needs a fuel pump. We had sold another jeep about 2 years ago that needed a fuel pump so we just borrowed this one. Over all its not really in that bad of shape considering what I have seen setting around. The undercarriage is real good, and the body isn’t really all that bad. The picture of the left side of the jeep isn’t really that good, but that is paint peeling not rusted out. We do have all 4 original wheels for it but there is only one pictured. The windshield is just the frame , never had a windshield for it. What can I say, look at the pics and if you have any questions or are interested feel free to give me a call. I have sold several of these jeeps in a lot worse condition than this one for the same money. Just would like to get it out of the road. So don’t be afraid to make an offer I just might take it. If its listed its still for sale, I will delete if it sells. Thanks for looking. I DO HAVE TITLE FOR THE JEEP.”

This Monroe Lift Brochure arrived while I was on vacation. It’s a great little brochure. The FarmJeep page has information on the Monroe lift, including this Monroe lift parts list.
Also, if you’ve never visited Clint Dixon’s Dodge Power Wagon Monroe Lift page, it’s worth a look. There he has some detailed drawing of the Monroe Lifts. He also has a great photo page that shows a Dodge Power Wagon and the Monroe Lift using different implements.
Speaking of Hydraulic Lifts, the Love Tractor Company (or perhaps more accurately Love Industries — I’m not clear on the difference) made a lift and also sold a willys-engine powered tractor.
According to the Standard Catalog of Farm Tractors 1890-1980, by C.H. Wendel, Love Tractor offered model J51 that was built around a Willys CJ-2A engine. This may have been a repurposed Empire Tractor, because at least one source suggests Love purchased eighteen Empire Tractors when Empire dissolved. Anyone know more about the ‘Willys’ Love Tractor?
Standard Catalog of Farm Tractors 1890-1980, by C.H. Wendel
Love Tractor also created a hydraulic three-point lift system. At CJ3a.info is a page devoted to the lift. At the Farm Jeep site is a scan of the brochure.
The February 1947 issue of Popular Science has an article on the Love Hydraulic Lift System distributed by Newgren.
There is also an article about the Love system and Newgren in a 1949 issue of Farm implement news – Volume 70 – Page 56.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Marc found this great photo of two Holden modified jeeps.
“This No Reserve auction is for an original vintage WW2 Official U.S. Marine Corps Photo that measures approx. 8″ x 10”. This is an original photo, not a re-print or copy. Photo is 70 years old and may show expected age. Some photos may have small creasing, pin holes and/or show slight yellowing. The caption on the reverse reads in part …
NOW IT’S A HOSPITAL — Jeeps, fitted with stretcher racks, pull up to this wrecked Jap building on Saipan which the Marines are using for a hospital. The zig-zag camouflage didn’t help much as evidenced by the hits scored by Naval and artillery fire in the early part of the campaign …

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The Jeep was a newspaper published at the Monterey Presidio in California. The Defense Language Institute in Monterey has a collection of issues from 1943-1944. The one below was published November 4, 1944, and is supposed to be the last one.
It may be a simulated exercise, but it’s a handy way to move a jeep!
