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 .
Dan spotted this stock CJ-5.
“This is a rare opportunity to pick up an original barn find 1955 Willys CJ-5 Serial number 57548, registered with California yellow plates. This is the first year of the Willys CJ-5 series Jeeps, mid-production 1955, via serial number confirmation. Literally found on a farm!
This Jeep is so original, the rear seat factory holes have not been punched out, and the vehicle has absolutely zero RUST and extremely straight! And has original 1950’s Koenig Iron Works, Inc. Model Number 520 hard top (not pictured, but in the same patina condition as of the Jeep), plus 1950’s rare Palomino Incorporated tow bar and jerry can.
I’ve just put brand new Deestone 7.00 x 15 traction tires, including spare. New exhaust, new carburetor, wires, cap and rotor, and all fluids have been replaced.
This vehicle is perfect for your ranch, cabin, fishing, hunting, trail riding, or just adventure camping, and an absolute brilliant candidate for restoration. This truly is a Willys or Jeep lovers dream find. Parts alone are worth more than asking price.”

The seller notes this is “bone stock”, but I can’t determine which stock model this one is. There may be some value here, but it isn’t “bone stock”.

“Willys cj flat fender bought this ten years ago to customize. Not enough original parts to restore. It was basket case and still is. Some more parts came up missing when I was not looking. I have extra axles and trans t90 and others. I have many chevy adapters. I have sbc 400 and 350 and 4.3 V6 need to get it out of exs property so no trads for other projects have title in my name
I can load it all up and take to Anderson’s for $500 so you got to do better than that.”

<– Day 1 – March 20th: Dinner and Salt | OVERVIEW | Day 3 – Mar. 22nd: Old Bones and Old Jeeps –>
The Easter-o-saurus greeted us at Vernal, Utah.
After our long drive on Thursday, we intentionally had an easy day drive of a few hours, a quick trip from Salt Lake City to Vernal, Utah.
Day 2 of our trip.
We started off the day with some bagels at the Einsteins on 13th East with Karson. After we were done eating, we posed for a photo together, which further demonstrates that either he is growing or I am shrinking. Must be the water in Salt Lake or something . . .
It kind of looks like the guy on the horse in the photo is measure just how tall Karson is!
We were just about to leave Salt Lake when Ann and I spotted Caputos, a well known deli that now has a small store next to Einsteins. They know their stuff at Caputos and know a couple suckers when they see them. We walked out a little poorer, but with some really good goat cheese and some locally made chocolate.
On March 22, 1948, The Federal Trade Commission ordered Willys-Overland Motors, Inc. to stop advertising that it had created or designed the “jeep.” Said FTC: although Willys-Overland “made an outstanding contribution in its powerful engine as well as in other features of the vehicle,” the credit belonged jointly to four companies—Willys-Overland, American Bantam Car Co., Ford Motor Co., Spicer Manufacturing Co. (now Dana Corp.)—and the Army.

Marc forwarded this ad. I guess the message is that everyone will look good working on a jeep if they wear Stevens Twist Twill clothes?

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“This is an old black & white photograph of a Jeep station wagon advertising American Relief for Poland. The car has a message board on the roof which reads: “Poland Needs Your Help Help the Children of Poland Tag Day Sept. 13th and 14th”. The car also says: “6000 Dubois MAdison 1644”. The latter is an old-style telephone number (this style was phased out in the 1950’s), and the former is likely an address. American Relief for Poland was formed in 1929 and was active at least through the 1950’s. The Jeep station wagon was introduced in 1946. I can’t see much of the clothing of the people in the background, but what I can see seems to look more like 1940’s or 1950’s clothes than later. A “tag day” is a day on which contributions for a charitable cause are solicited; the donors are given a tag in return. The photo is in good condition apart from some curl to it. It measures almost 7 inches long by 5 inches tall. I got this near Cleveland, Ohio, and I don’t have any other information about it; there is no identification on the back.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $200.
Looks pretty original to me, but I haven’t seen many of these.

“I have a rust free Willys for sale. It was a barn find a few years ago. The tub is rhino lined and in great shape and very straight. It has a ford 302 and a 3 speed Dana 44 in the rear and a Dana 25 up front with a spring over lift. It needs the front driveline extended and a rear brake line. It’s a small project and still needs a throttle cable and the clutch linkage hooked back up and a new fan. It runs great I have never drove it so I can’t say how it drives. It has a very rare removable hard top. I’m sure I’m forgetting some stuff it has a lot of new parts on it. $2500 obo will trade for a 250cc dirt bike. Thanks”
