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 .

“This began as a project 3 years ago. The jeep has been in a barn on the Ragan ranch for approx. 25 years where it sat after the brakes went out. It was moved to a different barn in Santa Ynez where I got it and brought it back into action in 2011. I use it now for my lawn care work in town. It has all original parts except for an alternator now, a 12 volt system and a solid state ignition. I have the original points distributor as well. It runs nicely and it is what it is. Yes, the horn works. I NEVER ride around with it without an overwhelming response form about Everyone who sees me. I ride with the windshield down. I arrested the surface rust. The under side needs some attention. Some small rust holes in the low side above the floor. The 4 wheel drive works sooooo well. I have two wheel brake cylinders to install for better braking.”

(11/16/2013) It’s missing the front bow holder, but otherwise looks like a good restoration candidate.
“Very nice, running, mostly original 1946 CJ2A. Primo restoration candidate because you’re starting with such a great Jeep. Runs and drives just fine. Brakes need work. It stops but very hard to lock up the wheels even if you stand on the brake pedal. Been in storage for many, many years, Started a mechanical restoration years ago but never finished. Other than the brakes, needs very little mechanically. Starts right up, everything works and drives just fine. Just need to be careful to allow enough distance in front of you to stop. Panic stops would not go well, everything else great.
Almost no rust at all. Have all the original wheels even though only one of the original ones is installed on it right now. Hard top from M38. Two broken side windows on hard top (vandalized) but windshield on Jeep itself is perfect.
All original except conversion to 12 Volts. Give me a call and come take it for a drive, everything works.
