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 .

It’s got some rear quarter panel damage at the spare tire location, but other wise might be a solid early CJ-5 with a PTO winch.

Listed as a 1945, it’s unclear whether it has any ’45 parts.

“I have a mostly complete gpw jeep. It has a m38 rolling frame, gpw frame, gpw body, front fenders, cj2a hood, grill, and partial front seats.”
Just a couple updates for Wednesday.
There’s only a brief shot of a jeep, but I found the footage of the gliders compelling.
Various shots of aeroplanes all marked with D-day signs standing in an airfield. A motorcycle and jeep drive up a ramp into the planes. Various shots of the paratroops as they prepare on the ground.
The aeroplanes taxi and take off for Holland, planes include Halifaxes, Stirlings and Albermarles, as well as Horsa gliders and Wacos. Air to air of the planes getting airborne and flying in formation out across the Channel. Ground to air formation of Dakotas passing over Belgian town, people look up at the aircraft. M/S Dakota plane that has crashed into a panzer tank burning in a field.
Aerial shot of the gliders casting free and heading to ground, they land. Various shots of paratroops parachuting to the ground in Holland. Various shots of planes in the fields.
These original 8×10 photos were taken, I imagine, during an interview of President Ronald Reagan by Walters.
This appears to be a solid project.

“For a 73-year-old vehicle this complete Willy’s is in very fine shape, it just needs someone to love and care for it. It’s all there and all original.”
Shane scored a very stock CJ-2A with a Newgren lift this weekend. Though it’s been converted to 12 volts, he believe he has all the parts to restore it to six volts. However, there are a few other parts he doesn’t have, so he’s hoping someone else does. You can contact him at donovanshanemiller @ gmail.com (remove the spaces around the “@” before emailing him).
He’ll share some pics of his new find once he is able.
This brief video was posted to Facebook. It shows a vehicle yard full of jeeps.
“7 Australian Ordnance Vehicle Park Tolga
August 1944
Estimated to have over 4,000 vehicles
Did you know that Tolga was the location of the largest ordnance depot in North QLD during WWII?
The 13th Australian Advanced Ordnance Depot consisted of over 150 buildings and 18 igloos plus the vehicle park, a salvage area and workshops.”
This year marks the 55th annual Mile-Hi Jeep Club’s All-4-Fun event, a week-long event that changes locations each year. An appeal went out to the International Flat Fender Club in the hope of finding some more vintage jeeps to enjoy the experience. Registration is currently open, but closed June 30th. The cost is $500 for the week, July 31-August 7.
This video show Dwight D. Eisenhower driving a jeep on his own and meeting with various soldiers.
“American General Dwight Eisenhower (Ike) in a jeep driving off. Several shots of the American soldiers. Several shots of a group of people gathered around a jeep at the open air camp, tents in background. General Eisenhower in a group, he shakes hands with a man. gets into jeep and drives off. Various shots of the British and American army, navy and airmen lined up on field. “
This post card, possibly from August 29, 1966, shows travelers in a Hotchkiss (most likely), modified into a tour jeep.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
This CJ-5 looks pretty stock, though the V6 has been added (looks like a good install). It includes a good Kelly hardtop and a Warn OD.
“1958 Willys Jeep CJ5. Equipped with the original Buick 235 Dauntless V6 engine. 3 speed manual transmission. Twin stick T18 transfer case with a Warn Overdrive selector. This nice little machine starts right up and operates as it should.”

Today’s lesson: don’t take a history course from Atlas Motors. Apart from a few light mods, this looks solid.

“1947 JEEP WILLY, this is a shout out to the great men and women that made this country great!!! Building these jeeps to last longer then any modern day auto…Biggest mistake of one of our salesman here is that he passed on the chance to buy one of these that was still in the crate (for only $500.00 bucks), dropping these out of the back of an airplane and assembling them on the go to keep our troops mobile, talk about a modern day marvel… Enough of a history lesson for today, lets get down to brass tacks.
This 1947 green machine is amazing…basically rust free (wish i could say the same), paint and interior are above average. Runs and drives which is most excellent because who wants one of these as “yard art”? its all about the drive ability and this wicked wheeler can conquer anything, from a simple street speed bump to the side of any mountain you dare to roll over!!!
Feel free to come on in and take a look at this piece of history,(bring your checkbook and inform your wife that she just bought you your fathers day gift) museum hours M-F 10-7, S 10-6 closed Sundays
