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 $16,000.

Seller will only sell locally.
“1949 Willys CJ-3A 4×4 Jeep with the Buick Dauntless 225 V-6 engine. Jeep has many NEW PARTS, like Battery, brake drums, brake master cylinder, alternator, carb choke, radiator electric fan, turn signals, parking lights, tail lights, vinyl bikini top, front seats, Instrument gages, and probably some other things I’ve forgotten. It has been partially painted with flat black to protect the tin. Tires are in excellent condition, and there’s a spare. It starts, runs, and drives, (2 and 4 wheel drive work), but it’s still a project in progress. It still needs a few things, like some body work, paint, a parking brake, and any custom work, that would turn it into a special attention getter, or rock climber.
Call or email to see it. If you have an Area Code that is not 575, 505, 520, or 915, email me, and tell me why you don’t have a local Area Code. I won’t answer distant Area Code calls, or Texts because of scammers wasting my time, trying to scam me. No, I will not do shipping, or give out any paypal info. Jeep will only be sold in person, and for cash. Asking $2,500.”
