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 .
Here’s a nicely detailed look at the rebuilding of the Allstate Locking Hubs/aka Husky Hubs.

I was reading one of Ernie Pyle’s books and ran across his description of Baron Rudolph Von Ripper, a man who probably would have fit in with Taratino’s Inglorious Bastards. I did a little research on him. He was a well regarded artist who developed a taste for warfare.
Read about Von Ripper here: https://www.historynet.com/von-ripper-painter-gun.htm (It’s worth a read … he had a fascinating life)
Here’s one of his works that include a jeep:
When Time Magazine named Hitler Man of the Year, the magazine used Von Ripper’s gruesome illustration; Von Ripper had some up-close experience with the SS and was as anti-Nazi as anyone.
UPDATE: Still Available. Now registered for the road. Seller has added some other items, but why the other seats were replaced isn’t clear.
(03/15/2019) This jeep was for sale last October. Not sure if it is the same seller or different.

Bernd was busy again using his CJ-5 to haul a repaired motor in Austria, then later carried garden material to the dump, while Dan used his jeep to tow his boat to Puget Sound for a ride around the south Sound area.

That is Mount Rainier in the background:
Something unusual is afoot with this oddity. It might be a truck that’s been placed on a CJ chassis. Note how the doors have been cut.

“1957 Willys jeep truck, back cut short, complete. Drive. Train still intack. It has the Willys Hurricane. 6 cylinder engine, should run with some work, if interested.”
Is the color Indian Ceramic or Salmon or something else?

“Not original but a nice Jeep. Lots of new parts, new tub newly rebuilt transmission and transfer case. new Saturn Overdrive. Very solid and runs and drives very nice.”
There seems to be value here.

The missing drain holes on this 3A body suggests this has had some body work.

(11/18/2018) This appears to have an M-38 body. The rebuilder did a nice job of creating an installation panel for the the large speedometer.
“1951 CJ3 Jeep Restored ~This is a factory 225 Dauntless V6 engine with lots of power this is a three speed transmission, we never tried the 4 wheel drive, the jeep starts right up and drives like would expect a vintage jeep, it does have power steering added but not power brakes. There’s a lot of new parts including brakes, all lights, alternator radiator shocks belts gas tank etc, all the canvas is brand new and easily removable in a few minutes, includes 2 new canvas doors, newer seats with seat belts battery garage kept and was only in the rain by mistake for 5 minutes since restored,
we purchased this as a prop for our business and now we are moving on, this jeep is a real eye catcher at any event, certainly not a smooth ride like a new jeep but a lot of fun to drive.The gauges are not entirely hooked up, all the lights work including the 4 ways, the horn works as well. There is no rust, it has tow loops on front bumper and easy to remove tail gate… if wanted there is also mounts and latch to ad rear seat.”
Steve spotted this Perkin’s diesel CJ-5 with a PTO, ventilating windshield, and a Meyer half cab.

Gary shared this Instagram post by catskill_mtn_customs that demonstrates how to alter a Mitsubishi fender into a CJ-3B style fender.
This editorial in support of Toledo’s Jeep Fest appeared in the Toledo blade on July 26, 2019.

“1965 Ford M151A1. Restored/ refurbished in good condition. Runs and drives well. Uncut with Texas title and current registration. Converted to 12 volt. Bought for parade use 4 years ago and now time for another project. Price is firm.”
UPDATE: I thought this might be a John Deere themed jeep, but eWillys’ chief detective in Mesa identified it as a Pratt Greenbacks’ themed jeep.

I think this was a CJ-6 that’s been modified.
