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 .

“no title.
Rolling Chasis – no motor or trans, or transfer case.
It has both front and rear diffs. No Windshield. Solid frame, rusty body , but I think savable.
I bought this and want to make something cool out of it, but recognize I won’t have time to get to it for at least a year and I am paying $40 per month in storage fees. So it is with a heavy heart that I put it for sale at a reasonable price hoping someone else has the time to do this rig some justice.
Price JUST reduced to only $499 – not one penny less! Located in the Largo Florida area.”
Has a set of Cutlass PowerLock hubs, along with a heavy duty front bumper.

“Vietnam tough, tried and true. It runs. Helping my 73 year old neighbor sell it.”
The body is in great shape. This has a non-running L-134 flathead with a WWII head and a 1950s oil filter mount (probably a rebuilt engine). Tires look in good shape. Could be a good price.

“One family owned Willy’s for sale. Looking for a new family to love. New points, wires, plugs, oil can, master cylinder, running good, lots of new parts. Not a daily driver but a great jeep to toy around in, has some popping in 2nd and 3rd gear due to needing some timing adjustments. Classic Willy and all the intricacies that come with that.”
Video of it running can be seen here:
The body has some patches. A 1967 shouldn’t have a Willys-branded tailgate.
