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 $15,000.
(10/19/2017) Looks like it is a nice restore.
“For sale in Twin Falls, Idaho. Just finished restoring this 1953 Willys CJ 3A Jeep. Frame off. Rebuilt engine, including new pistons, new crank, new fuel pump. All new wiring. Converted to 12 volt. Body sand blasted to bare metal, then primed and painted. Gone through from front to back! New tires, new upholstry, looks good! Drives good. Original odometer shows just over 11,578 miles. Too much work to list here. ”
UPDATE II: There are more photos of the DJ-3A “mobile bar” in the February 1962 Jeep News.
This 1966 brochure for the Las Brisas resort included some pics of Surreys.
Here’s a DJ-5 with hubcaps.
We’ve seen this DJ-3A “mobile bar” featured in a photo from another angle.
This is the booklet’s cover. 
I’m going to guess that Pvt. Green is not inspecting the sign for any fine print ….
“1945 Press Photo Pvt Oscar Green in Jeep on Ledo road in Burma jungle area. This is an original press photo. Pvt Oscar Green of Taylorville, Illinois, stands on the side of his jeep to get close up view of this caution sign, one of many which dot the Ledo road forming junction with the Burma road and breaking Japanese land blockade of China which has officially been named the Stilwell Road.Photo measures 9 x 7.25 inches.

Blaine spotted this. We tried to find an online source for more of these, but didn’t have any luck.

I’m having some trouble identifying this PTO winch. Does anyone else recognize it? There appears to be an “N” stamped on the end (not easily seen on the bottom pic).

This jeep-engine-powered screw-tractor called the Wormobile was spotted by Aaron. There’s a third photo of this here.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
Wow, this one is worth a look. I doubt it lasts long.
“1947 post war SPEN model S utuility trailer. its 4ft x 6ft and has the rare original curved bows for the cover making it look like a covered wagon. price $500”

Does it run?
“48 Jeep rebuilt motor and tranny. Great hunting Jeep or project Jeep. Just don’t have the time and money it deserves”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(12/07/2017) I wonder how the plates on the front bumper are used.
“This 1948 Willys Jeep has a clean title. I actually have the original title. It has only had two owners. It has the original 4 cylinder engine. It does need new points and plugs. It also needs the brakes replaced. The new brakes come with it, but do need installed. We are open to fair offers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
It’s a project. I thought at first the hardtop was a Porter & Reed model, but the curved rear of the roof isn’t standard for that model, unless this is some later version that we don’t have documented.
“Rough but a good starting point. No drivetrain. No title but will do a bill of sale, bonded title should be easy on this. Comes with aluminum hardtop and steel doors with glass…..”
There’s still work to be done, but this might be good for the right person.

The next updates will be Monday morning. Have a good rest of your weekend.
The “it can do what others can’t” message of this testimonial pretty much defines the jeep’s niche at this point.
I thought I had a good chance to win this one on eBay, but it slipped away at the last second buy a second bidder. Anyway, it’s a souvenir program of the first national press event for the CJ-2A. Here are some photos.
This was taken a month into the war.
“1950 Press Photo American Troops in jeep with 50 Caliber Gun in Taejon, Korea. This is an original press photo. American troops take a rough Caliber as they advance in jeep armed with 50 caliber machine gun. Communist troops were reported smashing into and around Taejon as battle action see a wed on the Western Korean Front Photo measures 7.25 x 9.25 inches. Photo is dated 07-20-1950.”

Seth shared this Wheatfield High School newsletter called the Jeep Journal and named for the high school’s mascot. The school appears to have closed. According to this source, the high school became known as the “Jeeps” in the 1930s, preceding the introduction of the Jeep.
“For sale is a vintage booklet, Jeep Journal, from Wheatland High School in Wheatland, Indiana. This is the April 7, 1955 “Junior Issue.” It is filled with 10 mimeographed pages of school news. This publication measures 8 1/2 by 11 inches and is in very good condition. It is extremely hard to find”

New steering components, new seats and belts. All instruments work. New points and condenser, new plugs and new gaskets on transfer case and front/rear differentials. No soft top. Rust free.”
