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 .
Looks rough.

“I’m listing my Willy’s restoration. I have a kid on the way so cash would be more useful. However, the project will continue if it doesn’t sell for what I need. The engine, trans and transfer case have all been rebuilt. The trans will be picked up this week from the shop. The frame has been sanded and POR. The body, fenders, windshield frame and tailgate is all brand new and has not been mounted yet. The power train should all be mated in the next few weeks. After that the body goes on and she gets paint. Price will go up as the restoration continues.”
UPDATE: Still Available. It’s listed as a 1948, but as Joe points out, it looks more like a 3A.

“Wanting to trade my Jeep for a side by side or four wheeler”
Not sure how much value is here, but it looks like multiple models for sale. I have included a phone number in the ad below for those folks not on FB.

“I’m posting this post for a friend. His father passed away and left him with a life long collection of old Army Jeeps and everything Jeep parts. He also collected a few other old cars, wheels, tires, “real original baby moon hubcaps” as well as many, many other wheel covers for all kinds of old cars. Come walk through 6 acres of parts, cars, Jeeps, Jeep parts , ect. He also has more parts in Montgomery in Pops old garage and under the homes he owned. Call Mike at [hidden information] or Howard at 235-4979.”
Runs, drives, dumps and plows.

“Jeep FC170 Rare 4WD. 3 spd, super hurricane 6 cyl. Warn hubs. Hydraulic dump bed and 3 way snow plow. Working Warn electric winch. Not many of these left, especially with these options.”
UPDATE: I love it when I can combine old photos with documentation. In this case, I discovered that Stanley W. Smale had filed a patent for his metal sweeper. Stanley filed his Magnetic Sweeper patent on January 10, 1950.
From his patent: “An object of this invention is to provide an apparatus of such size and mobility that it can be used to remove ferrous articles from roads, parking lots or any surface over which vehicles may travel, in an effective, speedy and economical manner.
Another object of this invention is to provide a mobile magnetic field of sufficient force to not only pick up loose items, but pieces embedded below the surface which might normally be forced upwardly through the surface by frost or other disturbing influences.”
One Post, The Jeep Goes International, is from 2015 and included this excerpt:
Original Post from June 2014: “Press Photo Stanley Smale & magnet equipped Jeep for sweeping metal”
Roger Martin spotted both of these jeeps on Facebook.
The first one was describe by Jim Burrill as a British Jeep during Operation Veritable.
The second jeep was posted by Norberto Boddy and was extended in the middle (CJ-2L-like). I tried to hunt down “Crescent Poultry Products”, but didn’t have any luck. The phone number seems strange, as it include an “L” in it; anyone recognize that phone number construction?
This just sold on eBay for $31.00. It was listed as a 1955 brochure, but given it includes the CJ-6, it seems more likely it was 1956 or later.
It’s not very large, but not expensive either.

UPDATE: Gayland relayed that Bob says he is willing to ship some items, but it does take him some time to get to the shipper. He does have some MB items also.
Originally published April 17: Gayland sent me the following. Note that Bob does not want to ship. He’s an old school guy (who even sold Desert Dogs at one point) who would rather deal in person.
Bob Brant of 820 Jeep is trying to sell off a bunch of his stock. The state is going to expand the freeway and intersection that his place is located upon and he wants to sell his land and shop and move elsewhere.
He has ALL kinds of parts laying around, I saw a grille guard I think belongs to a M715. I haven’t seen any MB parts, but that is no indication he doesn’t have any. CJ2a’s, 3a’s. 5’s, bodies, frames and parts sitting around around (he is not super organized) He has a Deuce-and a-Half with trailer for sale, I am not sure of the M number. I found a M416 axle in his parts pile and a CJ5 windshield frame.
So, if anyone in the Fort Worth Dallas area is looking for parts, I would say call him or text him and find out. He prefers dealing locally because it is a pain for him to get things shipped. Call or text him at (817) 235 7270.
As a disclaimer, I have no interest in the business other than to help a fellow Seabee and Jeeper (who is also my mechanic.)
Norberto Boddy posted this to Facebook. I don’t have any info about it.
I’m surprised to see a Jeep Delivery Van landing on a postcard promotion. Interestingly, the card does not identify the vehicle as a Gladiator or a Wagoneer.
