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: **SOLD** Was $2995.
This looks like a great price.

“This is my pride and joy that I built for myself not to flip but now after completing the build I never have time to use it so I finished it 3 years ago and as you can see it has just over a 1000 miles on it and most of that is driving around town!! I have taken it across the Rubicon 3 times and across Fordyce once. I DO NOT trailer it every time, I drive it straight up I-80 thru Lake Tahoe to the Rubicon and back home it is registered street legal although it is pushing it with CHP!! I can tell you that pictures do not do this Willy’s justice you will not be disappointed to see and hear it in person it is very clean and capable of any trail.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4200

Tow Bar
This jeep has been in our family since the mid 1960’s. It started out as a stock 4 cyl and in 1971 my father purchased a new complete Boss 302 engine from Ford (Carb to bell housing). He upgraded the drive train when he installed the engine. This Jeep had all the top parts available for it’s day. The Jeep was parked in the garage in the 1990’s after my father had a heart attack. The Jeep sat until recently when I decided to get it running. I replaced the fluids, cleaned the gas tank, replaced the battery, rebuilt the carb, and replaced the fuel filter. It started right up and runs great. To make it road worthy it will need new tires as they are 30+ years old. It’s tough to sell but I’m getting too old to enjoy it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,5000. It has a Muller Top
“THIS IS A 1965 WILLYS THAT IS EQUIPPED WITH A 1969 WINDSOR 302 MOTOR WITH HEADERS AND A C4 3 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.

To be complete and original it should have a drain gutter at the hood hinge. As Jaime points out, it has also been converted to 12 volt.

“Hello everyone, im selling my 1952 Willys Jeep 4×4. First off the jeep is gorgeous with a full frame off restoration. Everything from the paint, engine, interior and suspension have been done and everything works amazing. Starting with the engine its had a full 350 v8 transplant with 350 turbo transmission with very low miles. There are chrome pieces everywhere and it also has an aluminum radiator with big electric fan. There is absolutely no rust anywhere and the jeep has a custom lift with new springs and near new 33×12.50 tires and custom 15″ rims. The paint is a beautiful white with deep purple flames. The jeep also has custom chrome front and rear bumpers with a full tow hitch. It also has a full length new black top with removable doors and zip down windows. The interior has also been completly redone with black leather seats and looks great. The drivetrain has also been fully redone with 537 gears and a new rear end. There is much more to add and the list just keeps going on with over 12k in receipts. Overall the jeep is brasically brand new and the cleanest you will find at a ridiculously low price.”
