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 good looking jeep likely has a Bobcat body. The license plates suggest the jeep is in Nevada, but the VIN/ID plate is from Washington. I’m surprised this only has a Dana 41 rear. Is that a thin air cleaner between two steal plates.
“This is in Excellent conditions. Fun for going off-Road up to the Mountain. This has a Dana 41 rear, with 44 rebuilt rear ready to go in. Dana 25 front. 11″ brakes. 2 1/2″ lift.

This is a wreck, but there might be some part value.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
It runs and drives.
“This is a pretty decent old Jeep, which I bought to fix up but now need to move due to other projects. I bought it from a man who was selling off his grandfather’s ranch vehicles – he therefore couldn’t tell me anything about it, but it appears that the Jeep received quite a bit of attention from someone about 30 years ago, when the last plates expired: the motor appears to have been rebuilt, new wiring installed, the drivers seat recovered, etc. Again, that was 30 years ago, but the motor (if it was rebuilt) makes this Jeep worth it alone. It runs very smoothly and burns no oil, which backs up appearances. I have tried to get it adjusted to run well but it could still use a little fine-tuning, carb-wise.
The drivetrain sounds good (no ugly bearing/gear noise). The tires all match, have lots of tread, good tubes in them, but they are weather-checked. I do have a set of mounted new tires for $500 if the buyer wants them. The body is rusty in places but complete and not a basket-case. There is no top, but my friend has a vintage aluminum, wool-insulated top that fits this Jeep that he’d sell cheap. The battery is new, and the charging system works great. The engine keeps cool and has good oil pressure and, dare I say, no leaks. This Jeep has the rare and expensive factory PTO which is hooked up to a winch, which is probably junk – I have not tried to get it working.
Last winter I got the master cylinder to hold pressure and then gave up on the brakes without really trying, so it needs brakes. Other than that, it needs the lights wired up, and it should be ready to go. That’s about all I can say since I haven’t really driven it around. Prospective buyers can drive it around my block and into the parking lot next door to feel it out.”
