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 .
Ebay of Canada has a 1950? German flyer for what looks to be a CJ-3A. The flyer is located in France, so it’s not cheap to get to the US.

“Good condition painted black and gray”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
Here a nice looking vintage truck. This map is supposed to show where the Bonanza Lead Mill was located. The Bonanza Lead Company operated the Old Dominion lead-zine mine near Colville; I can only guess that the Bonanza Lead Mill was also operated by Bonanza.
“1949 WILLYS jeep pu runs good”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,500.
Looks like a nice, road capable Jeepster.
“Beautiful car straight body, nice paint 350 Chevy engine Auto transmission Front disc Rear drum brakesinterior in great shape.

This is a mix of CJ-2A and MB parts …the chassis appears to be CJ-2A.

“**** NO TITLE**** 1950-53 (or so) CJ3a purchased over a decade ago for use on our farm. After searching for parts it was brought to my attention the title for this vehicle did not match the vehicle. Being used strictly for farm use this made no difference to me. Now that I am selling it, this should be considered when purchasing it. I have no interest in helping a Current buyer obtaining a title. You are purchasing this as parts, there is No title! WWII style split rims and tires. Engine, transmission, front and back axles and transfer case are all in working order, the brakes need attention”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Is that a ‘lock box’ mounted to the dash?
“rice reduced—THIS IS THE REAL THING 1947 JEEP HAS A BUICK V6 THAT WAS RUNNING WHEN PARKED SOME TIME BACK OVERSIZED TIRES WITH NICE RIMES BUT BAD TIRES GOOD SOLID BODY NEEDS SEATS WELL,, COMPLETE RESTORE.. HAS BUILT IN TOW BAR COMES WITH EXTRA GRILLE AND OTHER PARTS THESE BABYS ARE GETTING RARE.”
Given the hard top, there seems to be value here.

“This is the willys md variant. It use to be a plow truck. Hasn’t run in years. Ran when it was parked. Looking to sell. $600 or best offer”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Were $300.
After a closer look, it appears the serial number makes the DJ-3A a 1962 (#56337 22581).
“Here’s a rare 60/40 or split front seat out of my 1964 DJ3A. It needs restoration or recovering. My DJ3A was a surrey originally and you can see the original pink and white stripes under the tan. Frame has been repaired at some point. Perfect for your surrey restoration.”
The cover of this Willys News highlights marketing’s strategy for attacking niches that could use four-wheel-drive vehicles.
UPDATE: Was on eBay.
This is likely the first station wagon brochure for the ‘brochure family‘ that the Kaiser Willys marketing team produced. It’s from SD-221-4 and has the KW logo. This is currently available on eBay.
Here was the subsequent version (see all pages here):
Brian Hainer and Matt Hovey assembled this tutorial video on lubricants, with a focus on Willys Vehicles.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
For only $2.99 you could have had Gumby, Pokey, their jeep and playmates back in 1966, at least according to this page from the Ward’s Christmas catalog Maury spotted. Someone is selling this page of the catalog for $15 (yikes).
Or for a lot more, you can have an original set in very good condition, plus a few extra figures for only $350!
Or, for $79, you can have a slightly used set from eBay.
Looks in good shape.

UPDATE: The rise of Novel Corona Virus forced Shane to postpone his trip. Hopefully, he’ll be able to tackle this at some future point.
You may remember my visit with Shane Miller while I was visiting Richmond, Virginia, this past December. I recently turned Shane onto a running, driving GPW in Florida, which he subsequently bought. Instead of towing it home, he’s decided to drive it home to Richmond, an 863 mile drive. He plans on taking the trip sometime in late March or April.
Shane’s preliminary Route on Google
Why is he doing it? Because, why not? I applaud the adventurous spirit and am jealous that I’m not in the passenger seat! Sometimes you just gotta live life and take some chances.
That said, he’s not dumb either. He’s worked on enough WWII jeeps that he doesn’t underestimate their ability to break down. So, he’s publishing a potential route to see who might be along the route in case he does have some mechanical problems.
One of his goals is to visit the Jeep-Collection at Omix-Ada. Another goal is to visit his 101-year-old Great Uncle, a WWII vet, in Athens, Georgia. He thinks his uncle will get a very big kick out of seeing him driving the GPW.
If you are along the route or have suggestions/comments, feel free to comment below or contact him directly at donovanshanemiller @ gmail.com (no spaces around the @)
