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 .
Unclear how much value is here.

“1946 Willy’s have the title, does not run but will move and would make a great project!!”
Thanks to Maury for spotting Nate’s snow video. While he plays in the snow, we are surviving the cold. First, our re-done trough water delivery froze, then our well-water seems to have frozen, which remains a mystery as to why. Anyway, we are dry camping at home for the time being. Temps start trending up today, so hopefully this cold snap will be behind us for the remainder of winter.
At some point in 1963, Jeep News stopped adding a month to the printings, so we must use volume and numbers to delineate the various Jeep News issues. This issues, volume 9, Number 2 in 1963 is eight pages.
Page one has a neat photo of an FC-170 with an extended rear and an extra axle. That looks pretty handy! Page two contains some upcoming ads, along with a nod to some Argentinian jeeps. Page three shares the news of more jeeps in more movies, including “The Nutty Professor”, The Ugly American”, “Donavan’s Reef”, and “My Six Loves”.
Pages four and five contain dealer news. Page six continues the coverage of the Hatari! movie, this time internationally. Page seven shows police and police-dogs lined up in front of DJ-3As purchased by the Philadelphia police. Page eight covers some international updates.
This issue of Jeep Service and Parts News is one of about twenty issues I obtained. This is the earliest one I have. I am unsure when these bulletins began, but given this is volume eight, then this must have started someone around 1953? These likely were tossed or destroyed pretty quickly.
Kaiser-Jeep must have arranged to have this article, originally printed for Four Wheeler Magazine, printed as a stand-alone ad piece for dealers and prospective customers. It’s printed in black and white, rather than color, and is eight pages. The form number is 69-02, suggesting this run was printed in Feb of 1969.
John shared this link for the Barret-Jackson auction, which shows the various jeeps for sale. There are only a few pre-1980 jeeps being auctioned:
This modified 1954 M-38A1 is the earliest jeep being auctioned:

(12/02/2023) This looks like a real nice rig. Note the clutch issue.

“1956 Willys Garage kept since 1991, Buick 231 V6, power steering, Power breaks, Hydraulic clutch, Stainless roll cage, 3 speed with Warn OD. Also has Warn 8,000lb winch, Warn Lock-O-Matic hubs, Spring over conversion, 11″ Gladiator breaks, Super Swamper’s (still new) centerline rims, 5:38 gears Posi traction front & rear and more. My jeep is spotless but hasn’t been driven in while due to health reasons. Because of not being driven much the rear main started leaking causing the clutch to glaze over, they will both need to be replaced, if I do it the price will go way up.”
Blaine shared this nice looking, stock 1963 Wagoneer that sold for $24,000. That doesn’t ‘t seem like too bad of a price (It was originally listed at $29,500). It isn’t perfect, and does have some dings, but still, it looks in good shape.
