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 .
This fun card was spotted on Etsy, but is no longer available for sale.
Marc found this rare card.
“USA Combat Units (R166) card. Nice condition example of an very desirable card from a popular and VERY tough series. Sharp corners, and NO CREASES!!!! This would be an excellent example for a “R” type set or an upgrade for almost any R166 set!!! I believe that the photos accurately show the card’s condition. A very nice example of a card from a popular and difficult-to-complete set. This card is a solid example and would be great for one who loves cards. The winning bidder is certain to be happy with their purchase!!! Ready for submission to PSA for a very high grade!!!”

UPDATE: I just picked this one up for $12.95 on eBay tonight. This is part of a series of “Back The Attack” Envelopes with different images. I’m still trying to determine what Goff’s full name was.
During WWII there were 8 different Public War Loan Drives. For the third War Loan Drive, or War Bond Drive, the Treasury department selected the theme “Back the Attack — Buy War Bonds.” The goal of the bond drive was to raise fifteen billion dollars.
This sold on eBay in January 2014 for $50.
Why do they load the jeep with people in it?

“I am selling my project Jeep, we are moving Wednesday and it needs to go. Currently it is torn apart as I was re-finishing the frame. It needs some work, but it is a rare bird. It does not have a powertrain, or seats. Even if you just buy it and take sell it off seperatley as parts you will make money. I would, but I can’t move it and don’t have time to sell it. I am asking 400obo, or I would also take a trade for something that goes boom.”

The data plates might be the best part of this jeep.
“Here is a 1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A that is shot but has some useable parts. Serial number 28759. The tub is shot. The frame is shot. The engine is frozen solid. I managed to remove 2 spark plugs and the other 2 broke off in the head. I filled the cylinders with ATF. Then my dumbass broke off an “easy out” in one of the plug holes. Now the head will have to come off to be repaired. 🙁 I do have the radiator for the jeep and it’s included in the sale. I do not have a title for the Jeep. All the data plates are there and match each other. Windshield does fold down. The tires are all 7.00-16. There are no tie rods on the front wheels. The trans shifts between 2nd and 3rd gear. But not between reverse and 1st. The transfer case levers both move. I will also give the winning bidder a hood, Grill and 2 fenders from a CJ3B. All beat up but better than nothing. ;)”
UPDATE: Was $300. **SOLD**

Ed Wilson wanted to share some unusual jeeps photos from Egypt. They were taken in 1962 by his father Captain Harry Wilson during his United Nations duties in Egypt, while serving with the Canadian Army.
Ed notes that a few years ago his father searched for a tiny place called Sharm el-Sheikh where Harry and a fellow officer served during 1962. Their job was to look after a desalination plant. Instead of locating the hut where the two of them and a local family that cooked for them had lived, Harry was blown away to discover a billion dollar resort. No doubt the hut and the family are long gone.
The “MIL-GOVT” painted on the front of this jeep’s windshield was interesting. This is the American First Army near the Roer River.jpg
I’d think this was a movie, except that the identifying numbers on this GPW are taped over on the hood and windshield.
This photo shows General Bradley handing a gun to Major Konev
You might remember that Ann and I visited the Shelburne Museum in June of 2013. According to this brochure, they used to have a jeep-train (which they called the museum barge). I’ll do some searches for more photos.
One here: Shelburne Museum Map on eBay
A second map here: Shelburne Museum Map on eBay
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This early 1950s postcard from Pensacola, Florida, shows a CJ-2A or CJ-3A turning onto Palafox Street, which was a main drag (still is?). I’ve not been to Pensacola . . . yet. Ann would like to do a drive down to the Florida Keys and back. We are probably a year or two away from that trip.
“THIS IS A NICE EARLY POSTCARD SHOWING DOWNTOWN PENSACOLA, FLORIDA, ON PALAFOX STREET FROM A LONG TIME AGO. I SEE THE RHODES BUILDING AND THEATER ON THE RIGHT, AND I CAN ALMOST MAKE OUT THE MARQUEE, BUT PARTS OF IT ARE NOT THERE. I SEE A HUGE BUILDING ON THE LEFT, WHICH OBVIOUSLY WAS A HOTEL,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
There appears to be more than $400 of value here.
“I have some original parts for sale 4cyl flat head motor ready for rebuild or buy whole jeep”
Does the underside of that top someone connect to the windshield? It’s not clear to me how it attaches.
“Jeep is in good condition; engine was rebuilt a few years back and runs strong, clutch and drive train have been gone though and there are no leaks. Body was worked on by the previous owner and looks good. Frame is in good condition.
If you have any questions ask and I will answer them.
Buyer is responsible for shipping arrangements.”
