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 .
Grandma’s house is full of hungry teenagers, including some of mine. Duty calls and tummies need satiation; so, I must forgo updates tonight.
UPDATE: Still Available
(06/22/2011) This looks solid, though the engine doesn’t run.

I’ve heard that some people use Grey Hound Buses to ship parts, but Josh is the first to provide first hand experience. Here’s what he had to say.
“As a tip and likely often overlooked when trying to ship something, Grey Hound offers an excellent shipping service (cheaper and faster than USPS in every experience I’ve had) I recently had a full gpw windshield assembly with gun rack in a crate, a set of mb top bows, a skid plate, an air cleaner and a small pile of other parts all shipped in the same load by greyhound for less than $140. They are the way to go when it comes to these bulky parts. Also for a $2 fee they take C.O.D for shipping expense so no need for the seller to get back to you just pay for the part they drop it off packaged up at gray hound and you wait a couple of days for a phone call to come pick up your stuff! (sometimes they even help load 🙂 )”
Kim asked me to share an upcoming event.
Old FT. MacArthur Days July 9th and 10th at the FT. MacArthur museum in San Pedro California.
This is a “Historical Time Line Event” with re-enactment groups from Romans to modern day and everything in between. This is a great event to bring the kids too they will learn more correct world history in one afternoon than any school could teach. S 1 Patrol and the S.A.S. jeep will be their as well as many other vehicles including either the Sherman or Stewart tank. There is a $10.00 donation for adults and I believe kids under 12 are free. The money every bit of it goes to benefit the museum and keep up the park it is built on. The museum gets NO financial aid from our government. There are food and drink for sale as well as a good size vendor area if you are searching for something of the historical nature. S 1 Patrol will be on the right hand side as you come through the gate come by and say Hello Mate.

This has some unusual patches on the back of the body. I assume they are hiding damage or other holes.
“This vehicle has been mechanically rebuilt.( Engine – Transfercase – Brakes – Electrical.) The electrical system is 12 volt. Has oversize knobby tires and an 8,000 # Ramsey PTO winch with approx 75 foot of cable. Hardware for doors and top are included in addition to a towbar. Last state registration expired in 2009, can be driven on or off road. Excellant candidate for beach, farm or hunting lease.

No pics.
“1947 cj2a jeep call 606-493-9113 no e-mails, this belongs to a neighbor”
It runs and drives. It is not military as suggested by the seller.
“1965 Willy’s Military Style Jeep, 4 cyliner, 3 speed stick with Hwy Gears. Was told it was Military style because of way the spare tire mounts and the snorkel area on the hood. Some rust, but not too bad. Needs a panel replaced behind driver seat. Smokes when she runs, maybe rings are worn? But runs well.
Needs Brakes, the master cylinder dried up. Fun to play with in the woods though. Probably a lot of work to put on the road, but fun as an offroad toy. Asking $500 OBO, may consider dirt bike or quad trades
Just want the garage space back”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $4500
(04/12/2011) This looks in good condition. It even comes with a horse sticker on the side. I can’t tell if this is a VEC or not. Even for Oahu, the mileage seems low.
“All original, all working, runs great. winch pull included. Need to sell ASAP: offers accepted.
Mileage: 3660
Trans: 3 speed 4WD and overdrive option
Engine: F4-134”

“I have a flat fender bed extender I would like to sell. I’m not sure if it was manufactured by a company, military, or some home made job but its well built and riveted together. I’m sure it would look great on the back of somebodies jeep. The inside opening/storage area measures about 19″ deep by 35 1/2″ and about 14″ tall. I would really like to see it to a good home.”
This looks solid.

The has the rear PTO.
“This Jeep is in almost original condition. It was on a farm in Nebraska since new in 1947 until 2003. We are the third owner. It has the original engine, expertly rebuilt, and all parts, including a rare “power take off” (PTO) on the rear which still works well. Original paint scheme of Americar Black with Harvard Red Wheels. I added the new soft top, and had the original 6 volt system converted to 12 volt for better starting and running. It has the new 12 v system, rebuilt clutch, new generator, new carburetor, new fuel pump, new 12 v battery, new tires, new trailer hitch and 4-pin wiring, and used rear seat. Runs well–the engine and transmission are very strong, and it will “climb a tree.” Minimal rust–when the body is repainted, it will be outstanding”
