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 .

“1952 Willys Jeep with extra parts. Drive it home!
The good:
-Drives great. So great that I used it for a daily driver.
-Engine was rebuilt 10,000 miles ago by a professional shop. Have records to show.
– carburetor freshly rebuilt
– New tie rods and ends
-New points and condenser
-New wires and plugs as of last fall.
-New Battery this spring.
-New Fuel Pump
-Tires have less than 2000 miles on them.
-Has overdrive (4th gear for highway)
– Comes with three soft tops.
– Includes a ton of extra parts from a donor jeep, and a couple new parts that I have not yet gotten around to install.
-New and vintage parts are super easy to come by if you ever need them. cheap too!
The bad:
-Needs new rear brake shoes/ drums installed. (Parts included)
– Has rust
-Engine runs too rich but it’s not the carburetor. Thinking it has to be either the distributor, or the valves need adjustment.
I can send you my phone number if you email me. But due to spammers I no longer post it openly on CL.
Thank you!!!”
Lots of custom work. I bet this was a California jeep at some point. There are few Cali jeeps that had been modified with that type of windshield.

“Restored by previous owner and running prior to being garaged a few years ago. Flat head 4 cylinder. Fender is off, but included. Needs new starter which was purchased, but has a different configuration so we did not install. This is an inherited car and we believe the fender was removed to work on the starter. Other new parts included: master cylinder, 4 wheel cylinders, & JC Whitney replacement tail gate. Probably needs new tires.”
