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 .
I just picked up this U.S. Army Amphibian Jeep model (1/2″ scale). It’s dated 1943 from the Mod-Ac Manufacturing Company, LA, California. It looks complete. I’ve never run across a reference to these being called “Quacks”, but it makes sense given the larger ones are referred to as “Duks”.
Here’s a video of some “Quacks” in action during their testing dates at the Ford Rouge Plant. Lots of video shots I have never seen.
UPDATE: Tis the season … Craig shared this ad. Was on eBay until it sold. This was published in the December 19, 1942, issue of the Saturday Evening Post, pg 33.
You rarely see Santa delivering packs of Old Gold cigarettes to all the good boys and girls anymore.
UPDATE: **SOLD** for $86.76 on eBay. I didn’t expect it would go for that much.
This plate might have been made by the same folks who made the Ramsey plate I have.
“Whitco Jeep Colorado Glass Change Tray Trivet Desk Top Advertising. Clean, no chips or cracks. Please be sure to check all the pictures carefully for condition and size.”

“1947 Jeep Willys CJ2A Go Devil L-Head 4 cylinder engine. I don’t have any of the details on the motor because we just purchased it and we are going a different route with the drive train. Everything seems to be in place. It is not locked up and does turn over. We were told it ran a few years ago when we bought it but we never planned to keep it. Also, the tub is available if anyone needs parts to repair another tub. It has the normal rust spots and I didn’t want to deal with fixing them.”
UPDATE: Still Available.

The stainless steel mounting bolts are not included, however the cleaned originals will be. Continue reading
Blaine remembered watching the TV show Gentle Ben and seeing a Tux Park CJ-5. Recently he began searching on line and discovered he was right. Dennis Weaver played game warden Tom Wedloe. Tom drove a Tux Park CJ-5. You can see a couple photos that Blaine found below:
This video was shared on Facebook. The first half of the video focuses on rubber tire substitutes using a jeep as a test vehicle.
The auction on eBay ended, but I thought this was an interesting photo.

“Rare unique Panel Delivery. The metal on this wagon is in excellent condition, no dents including roof. There is no rust in any area of the sheet metal. Where all the corners meet are all factory fit. The barn doors open and close and fit perfect. It is straight, all the original parts are still there including the 6-226 super hurricane engine that runs and drives. #6 cylinder smokes needs TLC. Has original trans, original seat frames come with it, also a factory installed Ramsey winch runs from the power of the engine. It needs paint, the passenger door window and vent window need to be replaced. The first of the sport utility wagons. This truck is a workhorse.”
Listed as a 1963, it is definitely earlier than that.

“Selling grandpas 1953 Jeep Willy’s Wagon, newer paint, comes with hi-po 1959 283 sbc with 327 corvette camel hump heads( engine is not installed but inspected by machine shop to guarantee it runs) has manual trans and twin stick t-case as well as over/under drive, it has 4 sticks on floor, the interior needs some work, has nice seats, but the body is solid including the floor and fenders. Upgraded full floater axles, axle shafts, pinions etc..
There’s some surface rust on the underside, but is has been covered under a car port and car cover.. all of the parts needed to get it running and driving are here, boxed and labeled, just put it all back together and she’ll be ready to go.. The only item I know it needs are a water pump and Battery. Three of the five tires hold air for at least a month, the other two for a day or so, enough to trailer it home. But the wheels/tires are old and will need to be replaced once it’s road worthy .. Asking $5900/obo, running/driving would be worth well over $10k, could be a flipper if you’re handy, I can deliver for additional fee to be negotiated!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
