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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .
UPDATE: Still Available.
(01/07/2024) With a serial number of 14701, this is a VEC CJ-2A. It’s a project.

“Project Jeep. Rare 1st year column shift. Very complete and original with no rust in the body and only minor rust in the hat channels. Motor is said to run but needs installation.
Clean title on PNO with no back fees. Must be trailed”
UPDATE: Blaine reports this sold for $6800.
Blaine shared this J-24 that’s being auctioned on Bring a Trailer. It appears solid, but has enough dings to make it a practical little work vehicle. Current high bid is $5750. This ends early Friday morning. The vehicle is untitled.

“Various Jeep models based on the CJ-3B body style were produced and built by Mitsubishi in Japan under license from Willys between 1973 and 1997. Rust repairs were reportedly carried out before the exterior of this example was covered in a black spray-on bedliner material, and the pickup conversion included the addition of wood side stakes as well as planks along the B-pillars. Inward-facing bench seats are also present in the bed, and additional exterior details include a Mitsubishi logo above the seven-slot grille, a pintle hitch, and a tan soft top in addition to fender-mounted side mirrors and indicators. Corrosion is visible near the right side step and tailgate hinge.”
Just a few updates today’s , as we spent the day in Seattle and returned to find one of our dogs having locked herself in our garage (for who knows how long) … she was a bit traumatized …
This British “Baby Buggy Video” is an edited version of the Ford video that introduces the Ford GPs to the world, so much of the video may look familiar:
Josh is looking for a reproduction of the rare orange Warn dash sticker below, though his original one (damaged in a fire) was blue
Does anyone know of any reproductions or even a quality image that he could get reproduced? Josh explains things below ….
The blue one below is apparently similar, but, like the one above, his did not include a reference to “Warn MFG CO” at the bottom).
Link from this page: http://www.earlycj5.com/xf_cj5/index.php?threads/warn-locking-hub-dash-sticker.144960/#post-1613141
These are examples of M16 hubs (he has M18 hubs).
Josh wrote: “I’m hoping you might have run across a locking hub dash sticker like the one attached at some point. My 1956 GMC NAPCO 4×4 had WARN model WL-15828 hubs, which are more commonly referred to as M18’s. My truck had a dash sticker ( actually it was inside the glovebox door ) that was identical to the orange image I attached [ed note … the image at top], except that it was printed in a medium blue color. I believe this type of sticker to be the predecessor to the more commonly seen type with the illustration of the WARN style locking dial. This particular sticker that I’ve attached a picture of was in an NOS set of hubs for a heavy duty IHC that was dated from 1956 or 57, as I recall.
Anyway, I’m hoping someone has this sticker and I can get it reproduced. I believe it to be the correct sticker for any WARN model hubs that predate the addition of the raised stamped area where the “M” series model number is typically stamped. That was added some time around 1965 or 1966 as best I can tell. As an example, I’ve attached a picture of what are typically referred to as M16 hubs, also a late 50’s NAPCO 1/2 ton application, but the one without the raised stamp area would have been stocked under the part number WL-54-21 originally.
My truck was severely damaged in a forest fire. Otherwise I’d go scan my own sticker and get it reproduced. Eventally I’d like to resurrect my truck, and this is a detail I want to be faithful to.”
Andy shared this San Juan Scenic Tour-like chopped wagon.

The tour jeep bed is now on rollers so I can moved it around. In the meantime, I drove the chassis outside so I could blow off the dust (a little chilly for washing it just yet).
Looking more closely at the transfercase, the tag on it has been removed, but it looks to me to be an NP 207, but I’ve never worked on these, so I could say for sure. After doing some research online, I see one challenge to making the 207 usable is that there isn’t a cable setup for shifting being offered as an option.
Moreover, some forums suggest the 207 is pretty weak and the 231 is a better option (for which there is a cable option). However, most likely any cable option will have to be a custom install anyway, as the cable length will need to be long enough to reach the cab area. Anyone have thoughts on this? Is the 207 good enough? if in 4WD low range is the 207 strong enough to deal with the weight of real trail jeeping?
Richard pointed out that Idaho Parks still has copies of its wagon poster for sale. We first ran across this poster back in 2015 at a gift shop outside the City of Rock State Park in southwestern, Idaho. It’s a neat little place to visit if you have time to make a detour. At the time, you could also head south from there and enter Utah along dirt roads, then drive south until the dirt roads reach the original Transcontinental railroad grades. It was a fun excursion: http://www.ewillys.com/2015/04/14/day-2-mon-apr-13th-rocks-trcks-dusty-roads/.
This Venga A Fare Il Soldato Da Noi poster is 6.5′ x 4.5′. At $80 (which includes shipping), it’s not a bad price (or make offer). The poster ships from Italy. Released in 1971, this movie is about a “girl is drafted due to a misunderstanding and this gives her the occasion to check on her boy-friend, whom she believes to be a womanizer.”

I found this puzzle for sale on Amazon. Since I have most of the ads (don’t have any Hondo lit though), it seemed a fun one to get. It’s got me thinking .. maybe I should arrange some of my rarer lit pieces and take high quality pics for a series of unique puzzles. There are several services out there that offer custom puzzles, such as this one: https://www.puzzleyou.com/photo-puzzle
