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 .

Looking for USDA jeeps I found these two different plows used for fire fighting in the late 1940s/early 1950s.
The “V-shape plow” was featured in the August 1949 issue of Popular Mechanics:
This plow was featured in the May 1951 issue of Popular Mechanics on page 151.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Neat old ad.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Were $1200.
Both of these run, too.
“Both have 4 cylinders standards both run two plow trucks 1200 for the pair.”
This is missing the fake light on the hood, but otherwise appears in fair shape.

Gerald recently sold his snow plow. Through a few email exchanges, I learned snow plowing was always an adventure, but not always fun ….
Geralds writes, “Plowing was fun as long as it was just for me. The Jeep did a great job. One of the odder experiences occured when plowing long lanes and roads: the jeep would go silent. After spending some time wondering why this occurred, I finally figured out that so much water was coming into the engine compartment that the belt would just slip and then the motor would go quiet. It seems that most of the noise from a stock Willys comes from the fan, especially in low range it is the steel blade that makes the most noise.
Seems like everyone would call and want me to plow their places out with “that Jeep” I had. It was hairy out on the road with the plow. The weight would come off the back wheels and the jeep wanted to turn around. And the roads would always be bad since that is when the snow came. I ended up putting about 300 pounds of sand bags in the bed. Here is a pic of me plowing one day.
The biggest frustrations I had was that sometimes old ladies (and men) would bitch about how I pushed the snow and ask if I could move it over about 2 feet or so, or complain that I was digging up the grass at the edges of their yard and driveways; all this after almost killing myself getting to their place to make a couple bucks. And I wasn’t the only ones who had a problem with the slick roads, as you can see from the picture I took below …
Also, it would be hard on the old girl; when going to the neighbors or misc old folks who needed a plow, salt on the road became the enemy. It isn’t even the plowing so much as the tons of salt that would find there ways into every nook and cranny on the jeep. Since there was no chance to wash a jeep in freezing temperatures, the salt caused rust to invade the original body on my 3B. So, when I rebuilt her I had to replace the body.
But, like the picture above shows, it was fun some times too. My jeep was a plow jeep its whole life until the restoration in 2006. No more work for it as my driveway is only about 300 feet; So, if I need to plow, I just get out in the snow with my 84 John Deere 318 (or my neighbors bobcat when things get really bad). (See more pics of Gerald’s 3B, before and after the rebuild)”
Jim’s got this snow plow for sale.
“I have a complete Meyers snow plow set up for a willys jeep, worked excellent when we took it off, have all the brackets etc. Could be modified to fit later jeeps or something similar. Would consider part trades for f*rearms, winch, canoe, guy stuff.”

It runs (though smokes). It plows. Looks like a good price.
“1964 CJ-5 Jeep this Jeep has been used only to plow a drive way for the last 20 years. It runs but smokes now,I think it’s the valve seals. It starts right up and runs great. The break lines are rotted out. I have a new master cylinder and rebuild kits for the wheels cylinders and some new brake hoses. I replaced the generator last year with a new GM alternator. The floors need work they were patched already. The frame seems to be in good shape I didn’t see any rot. The body has some rot and rust.The plow pump was just replaced with a newer Meyers pump which works great just needs to be wired. I have the controls and lights for the plow. This is a project I didn’t have time for. Would be a great project for someone or good for parts. I don’t have any paper work on it. I could provide a bill of sale. You can get a title from one of the online companies. The guy who had it before me owned it for 20 years. Call Tom @ 917-364-2605 Please call between 9am-10pm.The price is $750.00 CASH ONLY or let me know what you have to trade! The plow pump and lights alone are worth $600.00 and no I won’t sell the just the plow pump. I won’t ship you must have it towed home! Don’t text me I will only take phone calls.”

This stock looking CJ-5 with a great half cab has some cool hubcaps and some early formula desert dogs. This might just be the last jeep you’ll see with both hubcaps & desert dogs. This appears to have the early CJ-5 reversed front springs, too. I like it.
“Very solid steel cab on rough body. Plow is Full Hydraulic Up-Down and Left-Right from Inside Cab and is 6 1/2 ft. wide. Engine is 232 straight six cylinder, three speed on floor. Runs like a tank, Very strong, Very low overall gear ratios. Will deliver, per mile rate. Call: two six O / four one O / six five O one.”
