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 .

The seller listed the price at $20,000, but the seller mentions potential buyers shouldn’t bid unless serious about buying. So, I guess he is taking bids?

Here’s a rare look at a Willys Overland Chassis with a StorDor body (see late 1940s brochure at bottom). What’s unusual with this van is that at some point it was turned into a motor home. While this former laundry van’s current fate is unknown, Larry, the former owner, has shared some information about it. He writes:
I had an old van registered as a Willys Housecar from 1948. Body was on a 2T frame and was modified with a Chevy inline six. Boy do I miss her…I had to leave her in shambles ten years ago
I was told that an old man in Moorpark, Ca. had custom built the interior and as seen on the exterior, the most probable “Bakery” in blue and with imagination, “To your door” showed up on the driver’s side through the house paint that is flaking off, suggesting that she was once a bakery delivery van. The previous owner had received it as a joke some time before I got it in 1980. I don’t know if it even exists anymore. She was dependable but scary with the feeling of tipping ever present like the willies you’d get in a CB or MB of, say, 1940’s circa.
On another note, I had a friend who had a 1947 Ford van similar to this Willys I owned and it had a grill in the bell shape as mine was.
You can view all the photos of Larry’s old Van here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/lrgvanman/sets/72157604163626267/
You can just make out the “Willys Overland” signature on the speedometer.
Anyone ever of this former Pennsylvania ride?
The caption on the back of this postcard reads:

Glenn forwarded Eric Walton’s CJ-8 Postal Jeep stories and links website. According to Eric, there were only 230 of these specially made 1984 Scrambler CJ-8 Postal Jeeps produced. As of a few years ago, he estimated that at most 200 remained. You can view a detailed serial number list at jeepheads.com: http://www.jeephead.com/1984_cj8s.htm

There are a few minor things needing repair.
“Never hought I would do this but my 1953 Willys Jeep CJ-3B is for sale. Solid original Jeep from central Florida, not the rusted out junk you usually see. I bought this when I lived in FL in 1991 and drove it all over there. In fact, the in-plant parking sticker from Tropicana is still on the front bumper. Drove it for 2 or three years before moving north again and have not driven it on the road since, just around my last two places in the woods. It has an Indiana title. Still has the 6-volt system and original gauges, etc. The front seats were re-upholstered in a dark burgundy very high quality vinyl with new foam. I still have the very rare rear seat in the original color but can direct you to the place that did the front seats. It needs some detail things taken care of but nothing major and it is not some POS rat trap. Just things like the tail light lens is broken, speedo cable broke three or four years ago when I went out in the bad ice storm in front of the house to help get cars over the hill, wiper is not connected and stuff like that.
This was the first year for the engine, which is the F Head with the overhead valves on the intake and in block exhaust valves. I believe it was used in the CJ5 until 1965. Parts are not a problem. “
