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** Unclear how much value is here. It’s got one of the sedan roofs atop it. No description provided.
Looks like it sold: “this listing no longer exists”.
Appeared to be an interesting project… or affordable source of WWII jeep parts.

Your comments prompts a question…
I would imagine genuine WWII sheet metal, or even frames, would be sought after by restorers who want to avoid reproduction bits.
Correct?
Even if you have to sand or fill a hole, I would guess they would be sought after…even at a price
(I learned a lesson with a flimsy CJ-5 windshield frame years ago).
Thanks Joe!
John: Agreed. Original parts were made almost 80 years ago. They all will likely develop fatigue at some juncture, which could prove a safely issue. On the other hand, there are some cheap aftermarket that don’t hold up as well as an original part. The challenge is which are one and which are the other! So, it is kind of a gamble in that regard.
Did I answer your Q?

Yes, I’m just glad I didn’t have to buy a parts truck to get a good hood, side panel or windshield frame.
While I can see why the do it, I’m not sure I’d really want an “original WWII” Jeep with an aftermarket replacement body made from 2023 steel. Nothing wrong with replacement parts, just personal preference.
John: I totally get it.
