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 .
Only one pic included. No pic of the “spare” jeep.

UPDATE: This appears to be still available.
(06/30/2019) Tom shared this oddity. This seems to be a late model DJ-3A body and windshield (design for a Koenig top) mounted on a (probably) CJ-2A chassis with a Meyer Half-top. That’s a combo I don’t think I’ve seen before.

“This is a 1952 Jeep Willy ready for some additional love and fun. This has a brand new 350 motor with less than 100 miles on it. We replaced the steering gear box as well as the the steering linkage. We put a brand new disc conversion kit on the front. New power disc brake set up and aluminum radiator.
Picked up a new gas tank as well and has mustang seats for the front. We also have a rear seat that is not pictured. We put a turbo 400 tranny in this that only had 30,000 miles on it. Here are the things it still may need……not all the gauges work. There are no brake rear lights, but there is a brake switch on the brake pedal so just needs to be wired. Transfer case has never been worked on or replace so may need attention. You will also need to get the locking hub caps before being able to engage the front axle.
We are more interested in trading for something you may have that is KOOL……but must be KOOL. Here are some things that we would consider. Early air cooled Bug, Thing, or a scamp trailer.”

UPDATE: This is actually the 2nd Oneida hardtop found with a flat fender in the Spokane area (other is here). Maybe someone was converting them at the Air Force Base west of Spokane?
This top surprised me. It has a date plate! It seems to be some kind of manufactured-for-the-military hardtop. It’s made by the Oneida Products Corp. out of Oneida, New York. The manufacture date is August 1951.
