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 .

This rare 1952 brochure highlights the signage available for dealers and includes an order brochure. What you’ll notice is that there’s no reference to ‘jeep’ anywhere (unlike the 1946 brochure) and demonstrates Willys-Overland’s efforts to reduce the ‘jeep’ branding within the company.
You’ll also note the somewhat awkward use of “Common Sense” within the title. This may have been a nod to the “Willys Makes Sense” ad campaign during 1951.
This ad appeared in a 1957 magazine, but don’t which one. It shows the truck, FC-150, Sedan Delivery (4wd?) and CJ-5. I guess the 3B isn’t profitable? Given the lack of an FC-170, I’d say this was likely printed early in 1957.

Joe in Mesa has been in contact with Alex, who restored a GAZ in Minsk, Republic of Belarus. He’s wondering if there is any interest in buying the GAZ-67 or trading it for a Willys. You can email Alex at xnnn @ tut.by (remove the spaces around the @) if interested.
Here’s what Alex wrote:
“Perhaps you will be interested in the history of GAZ-67, so I quote it in a concise statement. The translation is done using a computer, so there may be inaccuracies. And I’m sending a few pictures. Built in April 1943 in three prototypes, the GAZ-67 successfully passed the army tests and in August was put into production. The first car came off the assembly line on September 23, 1943, and in October a serial production was already set up. GAZ-67 cars took part in the Great Patriotic War mainly at its final stages, when a lot of machines of this type, mainly American ones, were already in the army. However, they also received distribution there (up to 5,000 cars were delivered before May 9, 1945), and even the famous popularity (under the nickname “Ivan-Willys”) as a distinctive, “Russian” model of the car – sturdy, unpretentious, taut and passable. As you know, each car has its own “face”.
The exterior of the GAZ-67 is a stubborn, albeit unkempt, but firmly knocked down car, confidently moving on any roads on its widely spaced wheels. He worked quite reliably, was used in any weather on any terrain, which earned respect for the soldiers.
After the war, the production of the GAZ-67B was preserved and even expanded. He spread all over the country, on the military line, he got abroad, even to Australia, not to mention Eastern Europe, China, and North Korea. Production of it has grown significantly every subsequent year (until 1950). In the spring of 1950, the lightened GAZ-67B successfully landed on Elbrus. When the drifting polar station was organized in the summer of the same year, GAZ-67B was abandoned on the plane, effectively and for a long time working on the ice as a transport vehicle and tractor. The first parachute dropping from the aircraft was also carried out on the GAZ-67B back in 1949.
GAZ-67B was produced for a long time, until the end of August 1953. In total, over 10 years they were built 92843″
Unsure how much value is here.

“1946 Jeep Willy. Motor has a crack and water in it. The body is rusted. There are still good parts to this. I have no idea what the frame looks like. Make a offer”

“We have for auction today our 1957 Jeep Willys M-170 Frontline Ambulance. This Jeep runs and drives but needs the water pump replaced to be truly “road ready”. I have the clean California title in hand. I do not have anything else for this Jeep but what is pictured. I do however have several more Willys models I will be listing in the future.
The engine starts and sounds good but the water pump does need replaced. Transmission shifts fine and all gears work correct. I have video of the Jeep running if anybody would like me to send it, just ask with an email to send to.
Cosmetically, this Jeep is a very worthwhile project as not many are still around. It appears to have the original paint but it is faded and not perfect, the only rust is on the bottom of the spare tire well (see close up pic). No previous body repairs or major damage noted. Windshield, tail lights and front lower marker lights need replaced. The previous owner had this Jeep stored indoors and since we have owned it we have done the same- stored indoors in the desert climate, it is very well preserved.
Interior is pretty much like you see it, bare except for the dash components. This Jeep is stored in Moreno Valley California, 92551 near March Air Base.”
With all that dust, this is a true barn jeep! May include the trailer.

“Old, Wyllis Jeep. It’s. Bern sitting in storage for over 25 years. Extra set of tires & rims .”
Here are two Kelly doors for a CJ-5 Kelly Hardtop.
https://ventura.craigslist.org/pts/d/thousand-oaks-rare-early-willys-cj5/7263738156.html
“These are early Willys Jeep doors for CJ5. They are in amazing condition with no rust and complete window glass with working mechanism and handles. Must pickup locally in Thousand Oaks, CA.”
This jeep sold within an hour of being posted (at $2500) on Facebook. You’ll note it’s a DJ-3A body with footman loops across the back and on the fenders. The jeep has a column shifter. It’s also got pink under the hood. It appears it never had the oil bath filter; instead, it likely had the wire gauze filter. So, I suspect it was a DJ-3A Surrey.
