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 .
Doesn’t have a standard windshield.

The paint is an older repaint but in good shape with typical wear, scratches and one dent below the drivers side door. The heater and windshield wiper works, The jeep is turn key for those tough mountain roads, cruising country roads or its ready for that pristine restore.”

This must be move within 10 days after purchase. It doesn’t run and there is not title. Still, there seems to be value.
“This is an old Willys Jeep. I think it is a 1954 but not sure. I have tried to take good pictures so you can see everything.Has an aluminum top that is in very good shape. The windshield is cracked as in the picture. I got it to restore it but never did. The motor was froze up and I took the head off. I got it so it will turn over but turns hard. The weld on the step has broken. Speedometer says 25,304. I have included a pic of the tire tread. The brakes were froze up and stuck to the drums so you will need new brakes in the back and probably brake lines. The pics tell a lot so please look at them. The nice thing about these old jeeps is that they make a lot of parts for them.”

The engine was rebuilt a few years ago by the person I bought it from. I rebuilt the carburetor 2 years ago.

The roof is about 3 years old and looks like new.
The transmission leaks, probably needs a new gasket.

(12/06/2014) It might be worth a look.
“My ’54 is numbers-matching and pretty much all original from stem to stern. It has 66764 miles and has spent all it’s life in Montana and Oregon. It has been driven a mere 1800 miles since 1993. It is equipped with a Koenig Model 330 all-steel cab and Koenig PTO King Winch Model 151J (the PTO is not connected for some reason). And it has a HEATER!!
The engine runs well. 6V battery is new. Clutch, exhaust, shocks, tires, and brakes have low miles on them– however due to lack of use the brakes need some attention. I added fluid and replaced both front brake hoses– and then the weather hit and I set the project aside. Lights also want a little help. Gauges mostly work. One broken piece of (flat) cab glass left-rear.
The Jeep was originally red. At some point it was re-painted red by hand and has great patina. Yes, there is rust– but I’m going to call it ‘average’. Oregon title is clean.
I can send pix– but come take a look! I’m just west of Pilot Butte….”
