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 $5000.
The ad is a photo of another FB ad (I can only assume it’s the jeep for sale). The body looks in good shape. A little hard to believe this has only gone 500 miles (probably when the odometer broke?).

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8750.
Seller has been restoring this back to original. He thinks the T-90 may need an overhaul.
“This is a 1963 Willys Tuxedo Park (Mark III) – the reason I say clarify is that they apparently made this model before the well known chromed-up, column shift, Elvis driven in the movies type ’64 model (Mark IV Tux – when they sold to Kaiser) everyone recognizes as unique. This one is the year earlier by Willys in ’63 of the same Tuxedo Park badge and some of the upgrades to appeal to the wider “upscale sporty” audience.
It’s got the 60/40 seats (redone beautifully), it’s got the original hood badges, and supposedly had much of the chrome at one time. Again it was the transition unit to the Mark IV. It’s been about 90% restored, and mostly original, but little bits here and there are replica parts.
Engine is seized. This has a unique pulley setup on the front of it.

“1950 Jeep was bought as a project car in a senior community but they took some of it apart and gave up,
This jeep is great for selling parts or put it back together or what ever the need is.
The engine is seized but all the parts are there.
Tires are great shape.
Parts, project, jeep, Willy’s
Take any offer, it has no registration, we do have title
Sell it for parts, build a dune buggy , lots of potential”

“On non opp with pink slip in hand..
I WILL NOT RESPOND TO COPY/PASTED AS TITTLE..
I WILL NOT SHIP
CASH ONLY
MOTOR TURNS BY HAND!
NOT FROZEN..
A perfect project for restoration. Only 2 coats of paint original green and the red on it now.
Only rust is in tool box and small patch passenger rocker panel.
Non the Jeep Army version this is the Marine Corps version. You can read the hood numbers all Dash plaques are complete from what I can see it’s only missing the starter. If you’re looking at this you know what it is and what to look for in Parts alone they can be parted out for more.”
UPDATE: I accidentally scheduled this for Thursday when it should have appeared today. Anyway, after I wrote it, I endured a second wave of chills and night sweats. Oh joy! Feeling better right now, but I can tell I’m not quite over it just yet.
Strange day Tuesday. I got a 10am haircut. Felt fine. Got home and checked on eWillys: site was down. As I awaited the site’s return, I started feeling achey (it came on quickly). So, with the site down and me possibly getting sick, I decided make good use of that time by cloning my old hard drive on a new SSD hard drive. It wasn’t until i started that process that I Iearned it would take about 12 hours to complete the cloning.
About an hour after that (say noonish), my whole body felt terrible and I came down with chills. Meanwhile, the site mysteriously popped back up. However, by then, I was ready to forget updates and focus on getting better. Also, by then, Ann was coming down with chills as well. So, we pulled multiple layers of covers over our bed, turned on the heating blanket, and watched some TV. We shivered for a couple hours, unable to get very warm.
By 4:00, still having the chills, I had some hot chicken noodle soup. That took me from chills-ville to overheating and sweats. A couple hours more bed time and tv and food started sounding good again. Ann, too, was feeling better.
It’s now 9pm and I don’t feel too bad anymore. So, not sure what we had, but (fingers crossed) it seems to have passed rather quickly. Weird!
So, I’ll save emails and other stuff for Wednesday (assuming I still feel good).

“1942 Press Photo Jeep parades over Panama roadway under construction. This is an original press photo.
Panama: Under the supervision of the United States Public Roads Administration fourteen hundred men are at work constructing a trans-Ishmanian highway which is scheduled for completion (with all weather paving) by the end of March 1942 if the work is not hampered by rain during the present “dry season.”
An Army motorcade of “peeps” and “jeeps” traversed the colon-madden Dam section of the road on February 2nd transporting Army, highway, civil officials and press correspondents. They made the round trip from the Pacific to the Atlantic and then back. Concrete paving for the road is being placed at the rate of one mile of single strip each day. Concrete is carried by barge up the tropical foliage line Rio Gatun to it’s intersection with the highway.
In some places bulldozers and other heavy equipment have to make 100-foot cuts through hog backed hills and also make fills in sheer-dropping, water torn ravines. Photo shows-part of the “jeep” parade over a section of road which has not as yet been laid with concrete. The road is entirely within the Republic of Panama. Photo measures 9 x 7.25 inches. Photo is dated 02-06-1942.”
Lots of jeeps!

Thanks go to Tremaine Cooper for sending me this unique cutting board. I do love cutting boards of all shapes and sizes, so this will go nicely with the others I have. This will get used. Many thanks!
I’ve photographed it next to a Vodka bottle to show the size.
Gayland also sent this standard DJ-5L Dispatcher 100 brochure, form AMG 7-80.

“100% authentic. I do NOT sell reproduction patches. Thank you. Patch came with some of the other items you are seeing us list today. very likely 1970’s dealership or even early 80’s, but considering the group of stuff it came with we are going with the 1970’s. Don’t try using the iron-on backing – it is too old and will likely destroy the patch.”
Nice shot.
