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 .

“1953 willys nice tires wheels 4 cyl 3 speed overdrive runs good needs paint”
It’s still 24 volt and probably pretty stock all around (except for the seats and center console). Looks like a good price.

“1953 Willys M38 A1 Jeep good running condition”
The Utah Bureau spotted this interesting find. It appears the seller has had to drop the price from the original $4500. It looks like it sports an aftermarket dash. The seller indicates it has been driven little and there’s some ‘project’ involved, however it sure looks good on the outside! It also has on overdrive.

“This jeep was reconditioned in the late ’90. For the past two or three years it has been parked in my barn. As a result of not being run the fuel pump has stopped working. With a $30 rebuild kit and a complete cleaning of the fuel system this jeep will run fine. It has been used primarily as a show vehicle being displayed in various parades and events. It is in excellent condition and would make a fine addition to someones militaria collection. The markins are from the Korean War era and the unit was reconditioned to represent this period.”
