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 $3000.
Has body liner on the exterior. The steps have been modified and drain holes filled. It runs and drives (under 30mph).
“1953 jeep Willy’s orginial 4 cylinder runs good, 4×4 works, runs and drives and stops, needs tires and lights wired to be daily also a windshield, needs to be trailered home, flexible on price need space, don’t need help selling, title in hand,(can do 30 mph safely) but after that it gets unsafe”
Looks like a home made body.
Did you buy this from a guy in Plainfield by chance?
FYI: It appears this Jeep has sold, so I suspect the previous owner probably won’t see your question. I have updated the post.
Thanks,

the reason I ask, I may have owned this Jeep back in the ’90s. I bought a Philippines body but never got around to finishing the project. there aren’t many of these around Illinois.
I wish I had more info about the seller for you, but all I had was the now-dead link to the ad.
I can relate, since after 15 years of running ewillys I still haven’t seen the jeep I built back in the 1980s go up for sale (there are some unique things about it that I would recognize).
Best of luck!
