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 .
Not a jeep nor is it 4WD, but I thought it an unusual truck.

Merliln shared these Jeepsterman photos posted to Facebook from the Mason-Dixon Willys Jeep Gathering this past weekend. It looks like a beautiful day with a great turnout!

Marco Marin shared pics from this year’s 2022 Yipao in New York. The jeeps might not be as piled high with stuff as you’ll find in a Colombian Yipao, but the jeeps still looked excellent.
Mike shared this unusual looking electric vehicle that seems to have been inspired by a jeep. It’s called a La Bagnole, which, according to the article, roughly translates to “Jalopy”.
This vehicle is intended to be a fun trail vehicle. It’s batteries are shaped like jerry cans.
Scott shared pics of his rebuilt and very useful vintage Knox trailer. There are still lots of old trailers out there waiting to be saved.
Got to give credit to WWII Russians who had a bold dream of flying a tank. I can’t believe that didn’t work out, lol! Thanks to Bill for sharing this interesting bit of history.

Jason Pall posted a pic to Facebook of some 1960s Jeeper Jamboree dash tags. Even on California jeeps these aren’t seen too often.

There are four jeeps (or partial jeeps) at a Nebraska Action. This first one is the oddest:
1) This obviously isn’t a jeep, but someone thought this model A should look like one:
2) Here is an FC-170 (no year listed):
This has a variety of updates.

“Classic and rare Jeep! Only 37k original miles! 4wd 4 speed! Inline 4 cylinder with 75hp. This thing is a head turner! Clean title! Aftermarket radio and speakers! ”
Tom spotted this beautiful Jeepster Convertible for sale. Unfortunately, it does need a top.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/846175236733199
“Listing my 67 Jeepster Convertible for $28,500 OBO. I don’t need to sell it, but I just don’t get to enjoy it as much as I wish so I wanted to check interest and plan to list locally as well. Original condition, just about every option including A/C, mag wheels in amazing condition, I do have a clock w/o base and small trim by the door handles (not in pics). Not original paint, I’ve owned it for 10 years and only have put about 2500 miles on it. 79,650 total. It runs good, it does leak a bit in my garage. Seats are original, small tear in the drivers side. I did add Jeep seatbelts to the rear seat. Body is in good condition, small scrapes, cracks, typical imperfections. Needs top, I have one but it’s old. I was planning to “restore” with new paint and carpet. I don’t see any rust, only starting to see very small bubbles by the tailgate and driver rocker.”
Blaine shared this project CJ-3A that’s currently sitting at $215 with 9 days to go.

Seller would like the buyer to make an offer from between the two book values of $20,000 to $44,600. I mean, really?? but the “good news” is that it is under 150k miles AND it needs to be reassembled ….

UPDATE: This post was originally posted July 29, 2016:
I finally snagged this “Jeep Multi-Stop Truck” brochure off of eBay. It is only seven pages. There are no details provided about the chassis used, but it does use the F-head.
The date on this proposal is March 1960. The first ad I have for the FJ-3 is in 1961. My guess is that this may have been 1) a competing idea for a cheap delivery vehicle or 2) the basis for what was restyled as the FJ-3. That AM General made a version of the Multi-stop right after jeep’s general and Military product division was spun off (1971) into the AM General Corp likely isn’t a coincidence.
According to some magazines of the day, the FJ was considered a Multi-stop van, so the description was used, though I don’t believe it ever appeared in any advertising. For example, this 1959 article except from Google notes the following, “office requirements for pickup and delivery of mail on multi – stop routes . The Fleetvan ” Jeep ” trucks , equipped with automatic transmissions , will feature compact cargo space , high maneuverability , maximum driver visibility ”
Roger Martin shared some pics from this past weekend’s Fall colors ride at Tar Hollow State Park in Ohio.
It’s a great excuse to enjoy the fall colors with fellow jeepers.
This documentation came from a friend. It accompanied a Sears Deluxe hardtop, though for some reason it shows the simpler hardtop instructions. Maybe the owner of this document lost the rest of the instructions? Either way, this might be useful to someone.
Andy shared this jeep. It’s got what we believer to be is a Stratton lift control valve, but missing the lift arms. It is labeled as a 1948, but looks to be a CJ-5 chassis (I had thought maybe it was a 2A chassis, but that does not appear to be the case).
