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 .

The2nd annual Northern Ohio Flatfender Gathering will be held at his house on Sept 25th. Please contact Bob at jeep3b(at)gmail.com. He will provide lunch, restroom facilities and a camp fire. He has plenty of room for parts to sell and trailers if you haul to it.
Butler will display 70 2 Dimensional Jeeps as part of the Bantam Festival.
“Our town is taking its own creative spin on the Jeep. Seventy 2D wooden jeep sculptures have been painted by local artists and are now parked all around Butler. Be sure and stop by the Information Booth Friday night where you can get the locations of all of the Jeeps. While you are in town, take some time to explore our streets and see how many Jeeps you can find! Downtown Butler’s shops are also offering a shopping passport that you can pick up at Parade registration and the Downtown Information Booth. If you visit several shops, you could win a gift certificate valued at more than $200!
The Associated Artists of Butler County is holding the “Man & Machine” art exhibit opening from 7 to 9 PM on Friday — concurrent with the parade. The exhibit will be held at The Art Center, 344 S. Main Street, below the Court House. Admission to the exhibit is free, and light refreshments will be served.
The theme is anything related to the interaction of humans and machines, from the art and inventions of Leonardo DaVinci to the development of the Bantam jeep and other modern machines. The original artwork and unique jeep-related souvenirs and T-shirts will be available for sale.
The Bantam Festival is nearly here. Below is an update. Click on it for more info.

This look quite stock and solid.
“In great condition, runs great, all original parts complete with a hydraulic snow plow and owner’s manual. This is a real jewel only slightly used the past 65 years and always been protected from the elements.”
This looks like a solid package (nice body, nice tires and rims).

http://springfield.craigslist.org/cto/2522036905.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1100.
This looks like a good price. Curiously, this has tool indents. I think that might be a MB/GPW body. Something about the fuel inlet hole doesn’t look quite right to me (I think it is custom) and I don’t see any body drain holes.
“Willys Jeep for sale. Good project jeep. Wanted to start it but dont have time right now. The engine was running a few months ago. Turns over now, but needs new fuel injector. Has to warm up to stay running. It has a tow bar so you can tow it home if you like. Serious only. I have original title to this jeep.

(07/24/2011) Here are some other VJV-35s for comparison.
If you know anything about Willys Jeeps then you know that this is a true find! This was a LIMITED EDITION Jeep Built for the Navy. Only 29 of these are known to exist! This one is Number 30!! Not currently running. It’s Either A “Go Devil” or “Hurricane”? I Do Know That It’s Tough! Lots of parts. Has Surface rust with a couple of bad areas, But nothing that can’t be repaired easily. Don’t let the appearance fool you. This is a tough little Ride! For the skeptics out there, and I know there are a few. I have photos of the ID Plate from Willys Overland Co. Serial Number: CJV-35 107** ORIGNAL** NOTE: THIS IS NOT A CJV-35/U”
