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 .

Doug spotted this solid looking restorable MB/GPW. It appears to have combat rims, too. It is listed as a 1946 Military Jeep.

Larry forwarded me an ad for the Sawyer Motor Car Show in Saugherties, NY. He included a few pictures of his CJ-2A, so I asked him to send me some more pics.
He writes, “These pictures were taken on the 4th of July. The gentlemen in the passenger seat is Joe Sinnotti a WW2 Navy Seabee. I was asked to put some Stars and markings on my jeep. Funny how a lot of people don’t know the difference between a real WW2 jeep and civilian one. My family and I enjoy driving around town. I have heard ‘hey look at that old army jeep’ plenty of times and have had plenty of pictures taken. I cant stop at a red light or park without pictures being taken. I love it when dads take their kid’s pictures by it. I tell them to put the kids into it — boy what a smile they get! Hope years from now they can look back with fond memories.”
Thanks for sharing Larry!
Larry’s son just got his driver’s permit. I suspect their will be some competition for the driver’s seat 🙂
Marc spotted this classic poster on Flickr.
I’m sad to report that Terry Ackert passed away last month. He ran the Jeep Farm in Kingston, NY. We had a chance to meet him in 2011. Tom forwarded this obituary. Below is the summary of our visit with him.
(Published Nov 17, 2011) This past Monday Andy took us over to meet Terry and tour Terry’s ‘jeep farm’ in Kingston, NY. The entrance to the farm is a jeep tour in itself, requiring a good solid hill climbing vehicle as the jeep farm sits atop a hill like the summit of some holy jeep mecca. In fact, the entrance is guarded by two luscious beauties … two barbie jeeps that have, admittedly, seen better days. Once we reached the farm, jeeps began appearing in the woods.
Terry has been collecting jeeps for years and, even despite the rainy day, relishes what he does. While Andy, Terry and I talked, Ann was busily exploring the scene for the perfect shot. I’m not sure she even knew it was raining, because she was in her ‘photo zone’. Terry was impressed enough that he gave Ann a little tootsietoy jeep (which needs some rebuilding). Though we didn’t get a glass of wine on this visit, as the rain discouraged socializing, if you visit him on a nice day he just might share a glass with you. Give him a call at if you need some parts: 845 657 6692. Thanks for taking time for us Terry!
Terry and I pose. I like his eyeglasses holders.
Here are a few pictures from the our time there:
Here is Ann’s first ever jeep (left), given to her by Terry, and Andy’s more complete version of the Tootsietoy jeep:

Oscar forwarded this from a Swedish site. He tried to get some better pictures, but didn’t have any luck. It’s an interesting truck.
“It’s a modified wagon for fire fighting original from 1957 which was used in southern Sweden. Has all hoses and controls, 125,000 miles. Price is 25,000 kronor which is $3,800.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
This nice looking wagon is still 6 volt.
“1955 Willys Wagon, original 226ci Inline Flathead SuperHurricane engine. Original 3 speed transmission with sought-after Warn All-Range OverDrive. Original Dana axels with sealed Rzeppa joint front drive knuckles. Four wheel drive works better than our new 4×4 vehicles. Very good driver condition, runs/drives/stops. Even the terrible vacuum operated windshield wipers work! Both axels rebuilt a couple of years ago & front brakes at the same time. All fluids have been replaced with the appropriate types/weights. Still 6volt, charges properly, good lights, signals & switches. The only thing on the truck to my knowledge that doesn’t work is the heater. I do not know if it will work, I’ve never even looked at it, I just pulled the switch & it didn’t come on. Two pieces of glass cracked & some rust on right rear quarter starting over the wheel well. Tailgate is not rusted out like usual, it’s actually in excellent condition. Both rows of seats present/in good working condition. Have a set of original rims with antique tires as well as the chrome rims & modern tires seen in the photos. Extremely fun to drive, gets a ton of attention. For the asking price it will come with an additional complete chassis that also has the SuperHurricane, transmission, transfer case, driveshafts, axels, original rims, brakes system, shifters, etc. The chassis vehicle was a running driving Willys as well until the body was taken for a rock crawler project. The wagon is an all numbers matching vehicle that will come with a clean clear Kansas title & front/rear matching antique plates. The chassis does NOT come with an additional title. Only one title. Will seperate/have others as well. Cash only, not interested in trades & need absolutely no help selling anything. DO NOT call me with help selling or special offers”

“This Jeep would be such a fun restoration, I bought it just over a year ago to do so but have to relocate for my job and the van can’t go with me:(
The information I have researched on this Jeep is to the best of my knowledge, and not guaranteed.
This is a 1965 Kaiser/ Jeep FJ-3 Fleet van (compact van)
manufactured by Willys motors & Kaiser Jeep
assembled in Toledo, Ohio
I believe the motor is the original F4-134 hurricane engine
odometer reads 52,474
the motor turns over but does not run right
this vehicle needs a full over haul from what I know it has been sitting for many years, I was told it was originally a mail van. ”

I can’t tell if there is much rust or not.

“1953 Willy’s Marine Jeep (M38A1)
We had a ton of fun with this Jeep through this past summer when we blew the motor. Motor is out and disassembled. Floorboards rusted badly.
New gas tank, new master cylinder and new wheel cylinders all replaced 2 years ago. Radiator and hoses in great shape. Comes with soft top not pictured, but in great shape.
Would make a good Jeep project, but I’m not interested in restoring…looking to sell, $2500 or best offer or partial trade on Wrangler.”
