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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This might be worth a look.

(08/27/2010) The body appears to be a GPW (I think those look like GPW tool lids in the rear).

Need a car that’s a little easier on gas than your jeep? How about this one cylinder car HOG spotted. No, it’s not 4wd and it is smaller than some golf carts, but I figured I’d post it anyway. Besides, even if you don’t like the car, check out the turn signal/running lights on the front. Those might be a nice conversion option for older jeeps.
I have never seen a King Midget. There were 3 basic models of the Midget. The first model was a one seater, like a mini-racing car from the early 1900s. The second model expanded to two seats, along with other additional options. The third model increased strength and horsepower.
The King Midget Car website has this video, which shows a variety of old Midgets:
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJv0a7dUbIU&feature=player_embedded
“I am selling a 1964 King Midget, “Worlds Most Exciting Small Car”. The car is in outstanding condition and is a A.A.C.A Senior show winner. The engine is a One cylinder, with 2 speed auto trans; the car gets 60-90 miles per gallon! The odometer reads 5,226. If you are wondering, YES, this car is street legal and another interesting fact about the King Midget is that they were only available by mail order from 1952-1970. I am forced to sell the car due to a death in the family and am sad to see this “small” gem of a car go.”

Alan has been sharing those great jeeping images from the Four Corners. He helps run a website called VMSB244.com where WWII men from the VMSB244 squadron are honored and remembered. One cool feature is that they have scanned original letters written by the men of that squadron.
UPDATE: This sold very quickly. Was listed at $1500. (thanks Rich)
This has an unusual dash. This was for sale 3 years ago at a much higher price. This might be a good price even though it doesn’t sound like it runs at the moment.
“Been sitting for a couple of years, ran when put away. Don’t have the time for it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $4000
It’s a mix of both MB and GPW, but looks like a solid jeep for the price.

Can someone explain to me why a PA title would need to be transferred at a messenger service (what is a messenger service)? The engine has been taken apart.
“1965 Jeep CJ-5A
Tuxedo Park Mark IV
This Jeep has been in our family for many years. The mileage is probably not correct but it says 22946. I was in the process of rebuilding the engine and restoring it. I have the head removed and valve/pushrod cover removed. Also various other engine parts have been removed and inspected to get to the engine. I have all the removed parts inside the Jeep. This Jeep has never been rebuilt prior to me working on it. The last time this Jeep ran was sometime in the 90’s. It sat in a garage until 2003. That’s when I brought it home and started working on it. Transmission is a T-90 3 on the tree. Engine is a Hurricane F-134, partly dismantled. I’ve included 24 pics on the site but if you would like more please let me know.
Please forgive me I’ve probably left out a lot of details.
But ask/email and I will answer and send as many specific pics as you would like.
The Jeep is for PICK UP ONLY! near Greencastle Pa. 17225.
The Jeep is near 99% original parts, as it has never been attempted to be restored other that the work that I’ve done on it.”
This appears in good condition. It seems like a good price.
“This is a very rare Jeep Foward control dual rear wheel truck. Jeep made only 1610 . Alot of work and money on this truck. It runs drives and stops well. A new flatebed dump out of diamond plate. 7 brand new traction tires call 603-651-8686 Thanks”

UPDATE: Dan now owns this Traveller. I didn’t know what a Traveller was when I first posted this in 2011.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
This is rough. Strangely, the two connecting bars between the front and back loops of the roll cage were cut out. You can just see where they were on both loops.

I’m sure doing burnouts on pavement can’t be that hard on the tires and the running gear, right?

I hope someone can buy and properly restore Les’ Jeep (assuming the documentation confirms it was his jeep). For those that don’t know, Les Schwab bought a tire store in Prineville in 1952 that has become a 330+ store chain here in the west (company history). Not bad for a guy who became an orphan at the age of 15. I didn’t know him, but everything I’ve heard suggests he was a man of his word. According to one reader, he was an early champion of the Formula Desert Dogs. Les passed away in the summer of 2007.
“This jeep was one of Les Schawb’s that he had on his ranch for over 30 years. I have all DMV documentation and current registration”
Updates tomorrow morning.

Here are some images taken by Alan’s grandfather during WWII.The first two appear to be a GPW.
Alan writes, “These WWII photos came from my grandfather while he was with VMSB 244 on EWA, HI. The guys would train at Ewa and then go on to Midway and many other Islands during their time in the Marine Corp.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
