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 .
This June 2, 1942, photo published in Australia of a jeep gliding on a cable has been shown elsewhere, but I like the caption. The paper calls it a Beep, a Blitz Buggy, and the diminutive of the jeep (meaning it isn’t the jeep), which was also called a command car. Basically, as of that time, the name was still being figured out.
UPDATE: Status Unknown. **SOLD** Was $15,000.
Looks good. Lacks combat rims.
“1945 Willys Jeep WW2 4wd frame off restored parade ready $15000 or B.O.”

The posts promised for Thursday morning will be slightly delayed, as will responses to Wednesday’s emails.
After leaving my sister’s house Wednesday afternoon near Tacoma, we drove smokey roads all the way home to Pasco. After a quick, partial unpack of the motorhome, I ran a couple errands while Ann set off a flea bomb in the motorhome (our dog picked up some fleas at my sister’s farm).
Around 10pm, I was ready to do updates when I realized my computer was not in my computer backpack. That is when I discovered my computer had been packed by my wonderful wife into a drawer rather than my backpack. Thus, it was accidentally amongst the items to be “debugged”.
So, I let the debugger tun its course last night and will retrieve the debugged computer this morning to complete some updates for later today.
I spent most of Tuesday on my sister’s roof, then we had a bday party for her in the evening. So, no updates this morning. They’ll resume Thursday morning.
Okay, so I said no updates, but you might enjoy this story by Brian Gabrial on Four Wheeler’s site about a 50th anniversary Jeepster Commando get-together this past Spring in Moab, Utah. Looks like it was a fun event!

Peter wanted to let you all know that he is holding a Vintage jeep Gathering on September, 17th, in Wyndham, Vermont.
The Vintage Jeep Gathering at Pete’s Camp is a very casual event. We start out with a pancake breakfast at 830am. Most of the morning is spent looking at the old Jeeps and talking with the owners. There are onsite trails, and a group ride leaving around 11am that explores the local back roads and trails. This is a free event,. Breakfast and lunch is available on site on a “donation” basis.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
Looks like there’s at least some value here, especially if the chrome tailgate is actually stainless.
“WILLYS JEEP body,windshield,hood,grill.chrome rear hatch, frame,rear and front diffs. All must go $400.0 obo.”
Listed as a 1943, it looks like it has a DJ body. Chassis might be CJ.
“I have an old Jeep that is titled as a 1943 with the L-134 engine. Converted to 12 v, I put a new voltage regulator on it and the electronics are good, Starts right up and drives. Has Overdrive added as well and it does work. Title in hand.
I was going to use it as a desert toy for my girlfriend and I but in the end it is a little too primitive for what I had in mind. Has nice full back aftermarket seats, and a nice top.Comes with Dick Cepek spoke wheels with good tires on them, at least 80% tread left on them. Runs and drives but will need tail pipe added at some point. Gas tank has been moved to the rear. Will throw in new hydraulic jack and lug wrench as well.”
