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 .

The photo of the jeep underneath the letter shows it without bow holders, but with an extra spare tire carrier. Does this mean the country club ordered it this way? Were the bow holders ever installed? There have been a couple early 2As that appeared unrestored, but without bow holders. I’ve wondered if they could be ordered that way.
Andy shared this sign, originally with neon. This would have been an early post-war sign.

==================================
UPDATED Aug 04, 2020: This post is an aggregation of Africa USA postcards and articles. Another postcard from the form adventure park popped up on eBay, this time with a CJ-5 pulling the trams:

Posted June 2019 on eBay, a CJ-3B pulling trams:
==============
From 2015: Africa USA, was part of a theme-park movement in the late 1950s that included New York’s Freedomland, Disneyland, Wisconsin’s Fort Dells, and others. By 1959, these parks were collectively generating revenue of $2 billion.
There is a feature article about these parks in the August 1, 1960, issue of Life Magazine. The picture below is from that article. You can take a ‘virtual’ jeep-train tour of Africa USA here (don’t expect much). 
This article appeared in the December 1955 issue of Willys News. That’s the jeep train behind the animals.

This is a real nice looking CJ-6. Seller includes lot of information.

“”REDUCED” Titled as 1947, probably a late 50’s, Willys Panel Wagon with 4-cylinder Hurricane motor, 2wd, 3-speed on the column with a B-W overdrive. I got it on a trade, looks like they did a good job with the restoration. It’s solid, runs and drives great, everything works. A real head turner. I installed front disc brakes for safety, new rear drum brake shoes, new glass in doors, new carburetor and a backup camera. Decals can easily be removed. Interested in TRADING for a mild v-8 vehicle that is HWY drivable long distance. Will consider 50s – early 90s chevy trucks, prefer auto trans with a/c. Must have a clear title, not just a bill of sale. Located in Bismarck, AR. Three three seven 2630696″
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $9750.
This beautiful truck needs an engine. Thanks to Glenn for sharing it.
“This well documented 1948 Jeep Willy’s pickup was acquired in 2017 from an enthusiast who was meticulous in his maintaining of the vehicle. I purchased this truck as a marketing piece for my charitable organization, and unfortunately the rod blew. I am not mechanically skilled, nor am I inclined to have a replacement motor installed; we have acquired a modern version of the truck to serve our needs. The new owner who installs a replacement motor will have a beautiful, aesthetically pleasing antique truck to enjoy for years to come.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
Might be a good price.
“lot of restoration done needs some finish.”
Looks well maintained.

“1951 Willys CJ3A Clean Texas title. Runs strong, shifts well. New steering components tight steering. Perfect ranch vehicle or parade vehicle”
This has a replacement body.

“First civilian Jeep after WW2. New battery, fuel tank, fuel pump, spark plugs and wires, solenoid, rebuilt starter and carburetor. Starts first spin and 4 cylinder flathead runs like a clock. Brakes, 4WD, clutch and transmission and tires are solid. Ready for the ranch or hunting lease”
Toms shared this nicely restored CJ-3A. My only two very minor quibbles (given the price) is that it is missing the gutter where the hood meets the body, it’s got an incorrect oil bracket for a 3A (again, minor complaints).
