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: See comment below. Price quoted by seller was higher thank $10k, despite what appears in the ad.

I went and looked at this one. The ad read $10ooo at the time. I got there and he said he wanted $15k. I said what happened to $10? His daughter posted it for that he said. So I wasted about 3 hours. Now the ad says best offer over $10.
Its nice and has all the small parts usually missing. It was a military rebuild and has a mix of ford and willys parts. Ran ok. Tub was the worst part, lots of bondo, hat channels were gone and had aluminum rods screwed in over the missing hat channels and sheet aluminum on the floors screwed down and painted.
Brian,
Thanks for the report. I’m sorry to hear about the price issue. Frankly, I think he should have honored the price given that what was posted.

Thanks very much Brian. I ran into the same deal with these folks but thankfully I didnt go to see it.
10 grand+ and the body is pretty much shot? WTF?? Then he wants 15k? Wow, some people put sentimental price tags on items that are just to far out there.
Whats up with the hubs on the rear?
Ryan,
The rear hubs provide the ability to unlock them for towing … or if you broke something in the rear, you could still drive with the front by just spinning the hubs.
