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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .

Back in 2019 Dave posted a eBay link to a East Penn Jeepers license plate that was originally Del and Ann Parker’s personal plate and we would like to reach out to the Willys community and see if anyone happens to have purchased this plate and has it in their collection.
The family would like to purchase the plate back for the family to give it back to them.
I can offer up an eWillys tee shirt as well to sweeten the pot!
Here is a photo of the plate, and then the old link.

Thanks in advance!
So here we have three separate auctions, each for the same Willys Overland Service sign. The auctioneer (Vail International Incorporated) will ship (good news) and again I ask: “Where will you find another?” (Well, the auctioneer found three, but that’s besides the point)…
Location: Pasco, WA 99302
And once again, a great addition to someone’s garage…(Maybe even yours?) And you’ve got three chances with this one…
See the end of this post for some hints and tips about bidding on these types of auctions.
Couple of notes on this auction – first, what a rarity. Yes, the condition isn’t great, but where will you find another?
Second, this has a minimum opening bid of $250 (kind of a potential “gotcha” as I’ve seen other items listed with very high required opening bids–buyer beware!)
Still, I think this is a pretty cool item, and will be a great addition to someone’s garage…(maybe yours?)
Location: Jackson, MI 49201
(Note the auctioneer is willing to ship this item)
In the listing, the auctioneer has added multiple additional close up photos better detailing the condition of the sign.

I ran across some really nice pictures from a 2019 Auction of a 1931 Willys 6 Coupe, noted as a Model 97A. It sold for $26,400 (not sure if that is with or with out fee)
Either way I figured would share the pictures then I already had a bunch of Willy 6 stuff clipped from a few years ago so I went back and did a formal search for the 1931 information to tie it all together.
Low and behold the Willy 6 in general was a pretty successful ride for its time, setting records and winning races. Some fairly prestigious like it’s Pikes Peak class and up against some much higher funded rigs.
Enjoy, I thought it was really neat stuff, especially for the time frame.

Both of these are from 1957, I think the Jeep Scam is just as valid today as well as the Stolen Jeep deal.
