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 .

I’m wondering if they are running a side shift T-90 or a Ford Toploader with the Pinto engine.
“1946 Willys Jeep. Previous owner replaced the original flathead engine with a rebuilt Ford 2.3L 4cyl. Pinto engine. Runs fine, 60 psi oil pressure. The rest of the the drivetrain and suspension is original. The entire brake system has been replaced/rebuilt except for the hardware on the wheels. I have new brake shoes for it, just not the springs, adjusters, etc. The original fuel tank is missing so I have a small gas can in it now that works for starting and running, and I’m including a 12 gal. fuel cell I bought new but never instaled. Front seats need to be replaced. Body is in great shape for a Jeep this old with no major flaws. Basicly a good Jeep that needs a little work.”

WOW! Doug just spotted this early VEC. It is listed as a 1945 and looks wonderfully stock, with full floaters, column shift, three data tags and (I think) square bolt heads on the windshield.
This may be worth a look.

This jeep has been refurbished. The column shift and grille have been changed. Unclear if it still has the tool indents.
“Full frame up restoration using 2 donors and a New-old-stock parts source.
Original engine, etc. A few things are new (grill, wheels), as I haven’t found the original parts yet. Also, converted to a floor shifter, because the column shifters were horrible.
