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 .

I would be easy to make fun of the use of ‘planes’ in the below text, but I make enough mistakes that I won’t cast any stones. However, I didn’t know there were plains in Lake Havasu. The year is clearly incorrect.
“Jeep Jeep! What a catch. Reel it in. 51 Willys from the planes of Lake Havasu and Wyoming. This very peppy classic Jeep was one of the first civilian Jeeps available in America. Fully restored to its original glory with a lift in the springs, stock Hurricane motor rebuilt and the L Head Flowmaster exhaust. Also comes with original hardtop. This Jeep has had no rust issues.

Lots to like here, but it seems to be missing windshield wipers and seat back pads.
“Up for sale or possible trade is a 1953 JEEP Willys CJ3b Restored to factory showroom condition. It took over 2 yrs and close to $20,000.00 in receipts of parts alone to build this project. Every thing is brand new including the complete body that I was able to find still in the crate. Must see to understand how much time and money was invested. I have put maybe 10 miles on it since rebuild it still needs a few minor details to complete it. I just don’t have the time to work on projects any more. Email me with any Questions. Will possibly trade for a Polaris RZR, Ranger, or
equivelant side by side of equal value. No Junk”
