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: price dropped to $6900.

“For sale is my 1950 willys cj3a Neat piece of history. Not perfect but a cool Jeep for sure! It deserves some love and is a worthwhile project. I have a CLEAN TITLE in hand Years ago it was swapped with a Buick V6. When I found it he said it had a bad u joint and hadn’t run for years! I bought it for decoration in front of my cabin, and taught my brother how to paint on it. We painted it Forrest green metallic A little while ago and it looks awesome! It has a couple rust holes, and bondo in one spot. It does have lots of dents, scrapes etc. but looks good and be awesome to drive around! I have since bought another willys that runs and drives and am gonna make that my cabin Jeep! It does not run from sitting, but I’m sure with some effort this Jeep could run and drive around and provide lots of fun. I have brought it home to Tooele to sell!’

Low miles L-head with a Scout Pilot top of the line carb and filter
Saginaw power steering conversion
12 volt conversion.
New clutch, resurfaced wheel, etc. All new.
Herm dual master. In fact every brake component is new. No really – every single part.
Beachwood canvas seats and tailgate chain covers. Custom matching covers in the trailer.
six new Swamper radials – 31×9.5. 1/2 tread spare on matching wheel
Body is all redone – no hidden surprises. See the build thread. Pasture green.
1951 Bantam-esque trailer. We never could determine the pedigree of this trailer. But nonetheless – completely redone with a custom tailgate added.
Tons of custom and uniquely tasteful mods – too many to list. “
