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 .
This has another example of a temp-fix for keeping water from dripping onto the engine.

“Complete project. Comes with extra axles, frame and more parts. Has a 302 in it. I don’t know anything about it. Have title. $1200 for the whole pile Open to trades and possibly parting out”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
“Registered as a 1946 Willy VIN# on pink slip and registration:GPW52643.
The title is registered to the motor which is a GPW block with a Willy’s mb head.
Clean title & current registration in my name
Toe board gusset serial number:9869
Data plate serial number:113589
DOD 1-20-42
All three original data plates intact, but missing Frame tag
Gpw motor
Correct axels
Original transmission
Body has bondo but overall in good shape for early production slat grille.
Runs and drives
New break lines
New master cylinder
Carburetor rebuilt with nos rebuild kit
12v system
Overall this Willy’s is a perfect candidate for someone who loves WW2 jeeps. Will make a great restoration project for someone. Body does hold some bondo but to be expected with the original body. Floor plans are solid. Frame looks good. Very little rust on the undercarriage, minus the usual gussets.
Very rare only 25,000 of them produced.
Good news. I’ve done a deal to purchase thirty issues of Jeep News, along with around 70+ Jeep Service and Parts News. Some are late 1950s, but most are from the early to mid 1960s.
Page one of the April 1958 eight-page issue of Jeep News highlights the introduction of the Mule, though calling is “space age” seems over the top. The front page also includes an announcement for the third-annual jeep rodeo in Yakima, hosted by the Yakima Ridgerunners.
Page three shares the news from the recently completed Jeep Cavalcade from Hemet to Borrego Springs, California. Page four announced the third-annual Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, Jeep Derby. Page five has some images for the Lake Erie hunting club.
On page six, don’t miss the modified jeep used to transport mobile homes (and attempt to meet some local laws. Speaking of transport, lower on page two is a modified buggy and trailer that carried hunters through and over local swamps. Page seven is a full page article on jeeps and salt water anglers.
This four-page Jeep Service and Parts News bulletin is dated June 1964.
