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 .

Looks like there is value here.
“I REPEAT, THIS “VEHICLE” HAS NO TITLE. NOR DOES IT HAVE SERIAL NUMBER PLATE.
Now that that is out of the way, I have this CJ2a project for sale. As you can tell by the pictures, it is rough. I’d just call it “parts on wheels”.
What you see is what I have. There’s no engine but the transmission and transfer case are present. Axles. Tailgate. Tub is rusty. The frame looks okay – I was going to use it – can’t see any cracks – but you won’t know for sure until you tear it down and blast it. Warn hubs.
The best part is that it comes with a second tub that is very clean. It is in need of isolated rust repair and metal replacement in spots where it was cut-up. This is a package deal, I will not sell one without the other.”
Runs and drives.
