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 .
It’s listed as a 1950.

“Jeep Sand / Mud Drag Racer 4 X 4 – NO ENGINE Old School Jeep Sand / Mud Dragger from the late 80’s $2500 / open to offers or trade for AMC stuff. NO TITLE for this rig, it was special built for off road use only. This was last raced in about 1991. Transfer case broke and the Jeep has sat in the barn since. I have many more pictures that I can send to a serious buyer. Complete minus the engine. Set up for small block Chevy. TF 727 Trans with manual clutch conversion kit. (no torque convertor) Ford 9″ rear with 5.88 gears (approximate) Dana 20 transfer case that the case is broke but comes with another transfer case. Comes with the tires and rims, but obviously the tires are no good due to age/rot.”
I can’t tell if the fenders are pre or post 1972.

Andy shared this truck. Value is unclear.
“Jeep FC170 truck Year unknown 4wd Cab looks decent. Used to be a flat bed. Back part of frame look”
I assume “loose” means the engine is free?

“1951 Willys Jeep with snowplow blade. 4 cylinder. Chevy motor is loose. Body is in good shape. Bill of sale. No title.”
Here’s another story with images about the Bountiful Jeep Posse. This appeared in the May 1948 issue of Outdoor Life. Interestingly, this article summarizes the environmental history and purpose behind the creation of the Bountiful Jeep Posse.
In August of 1969 National Geographic published a lengthly story on the state of Colorado. Near the end of the article is a photo overlooking Ouray with a few tour jeeps in the foreground.
I had hoped the FC-Tour Jeep that was depicted was mine, so I bought the issue on eBay, But, a couple clues indicate it is Craig’s tour jeep. Other tour jeeps shown are the white CJ-6, the red topless wagon, and the Commando tour jeep.
These are scans I made of a reader’s Texaco lubrication charts years ago. The first one is for the CJ-2A and CJ-3A. The second one is for the 4WD Truck.
Ann spotted this video by the Jeep Guy. It’s part of a series of videos spoofing high end vehicles vs. not-so-high-end vehicles.
John’s wife Anne spotted this jeep-themed quilt at a Salt Lake City quilt show. I am still waiting on my jeep quilt from my wife (to be fair, she has no time for quilting these days and no doubt she is waiting on me to finish projects for her).
Blaine shared this low mileage CJ-5 (17K plus miles). There are some great vintage details on this rig.

This has some updates.

“1947 CJ2a Willys Jeep  Buick V6 engine stock, transmissions stock axles upgraded bigger. Brakes runs and drives. Floorboards are in good shape. Some rust inside panels”
Update: **Sold**
“Ror sale, Arctic Cab that fits an M38 Jeep or a CJ-3A. Asking $200. It has all the components except there is no windshield. It needs a windshield with straight legs that mounts straight up and down. All the panels and the doors are insulated with high density foam. You can see the insulation in the photo of the inside of the top. All mounting hardware and nuts and bolts are included.”
I thought this commando has an unusual soft top. Was this a standard or third party option? I can’t remember seeing another. This has a nice looking warn winch on the front, too.

This setup looks interesting.

“T96-1A 3 Speed With Overdrive Transmission R10B-1E Jeep Willys transmission with a spicer 4-9-67???”
This undated, 32-page introduction to the Universal ‘Jeep’ is a 8.5″ x 11″ booklet I didn’t have and can’t remember seeing previously. I managed to buy it off ebay for $7. Now, that’s a score!
Note that the final photo shows an early dash, along with JEEP illustrated on the windshield rather than WILLYS.
UPDATE: I have updated the post to include the entire newspaper.
First published Jan 22, 2014: The photo below shows the cover of a rare edition of The Willys War Newspaper. Published on September 28, 1945, this appears to be both the last issue of The Willys War News and the first issue of The Willys News. I base this on three facts: 1) the word ‘war’ is scratched at the top, 2) the small explanation at the bottom of the front page and 3) the publishing date.
Searches of “The Willys War News” yielded the following:
The Willys War News, Vol. 3, No. 3, May 19, 1945 http://www.utoledo.edu/library/canaday/HTML_findingaids/MSS-072.html
The Willys War News, Vol. 1, No. 10 in 1943 (8 pages) http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-1943-jeep-willys-overland-war-238396381
Based on those clues, I would estimate that there were were at least 24 editions IF there were 10 issues in 1943 and 10 issues in 1944 and at least 4 issues in 1945. Anyone know of other examples of this? This seems as rare as the Globe Trotter Magazine.
Though I created this two-page scan from the July 30, 1945, issue of Life Magazine ten years ago, but somehow it never got posted. You may have seen it other places, such as Barry’s Farm Jeep page.
Rob’s looking for a Meyer Half or Full Hardtop for a CJ-5 he just completed. If you have one in decent or better shape, email him at rob @ humblerootslandscaping.com (remove spaces around the @).
Here is an example of a Meyer hardtop in case you are unsure:
Tom spotted these OEM Jeep Seat Belts. They ship for $13.50.

“Nos willys jeep optional seat belts 250”
This looks like a good price. The steps have been patched. Note it has a bed extender, half-cab, Koenig half-cab, and a middle seat (most likely a Dumas seat).

“1954 Jeep CJ3B Runs and drives great. Steel cab with roll-up glass windows. Rare box extension. Working factory heater. Carb and distributor are new. Fuel pump is also new along with all rubber fuel and oil lines. All gauges and lights work. Optional jump seat. Repainted in the late 70’s. Been in the family for over 40 years. Both footwells have been replaced. 605-359-0967”
This has one of the odder front bumpers I’ve seen. The jeep appears to be solid with a Beck or Kelly hardtop. Note what may be a King Seeley 0-8 speedo.
