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 .

“1953 CJ3B, 4-cyl F-135 Engine.
T90/ Rebuilt D18 Drivetrain.
D25/D44 5.38:1 Gear Ratio
Jeep is originally from California….I know this because I bought it out of an old ladies garage in California and shipped it back to Mass.
Clean Title in Hand.
Recent additions include a Walcks Wiring Harness, New Gauges (12V), battery, cap and rotor. Solex Carb, Distributor, Coil.
All the floors are there, and original. Even under the toolbox is original and not rotted out.
Has complete interior. 1980’s roll bar is included with sale.
Needs minor things to be perfect, like hooking up the speedo cable and plumbing the oil pressure gauge.
Brakes were recently gone through and adjusted, which means it’ll actually stop!
I’m asking what I’m asking for the Jeep. It’s old, it’s slow, it’s got dings. All of these things are fantastic attributes, and because I own it, I get to enjoy them! If you buy it, you’ll know how amazing it feels to be holding up traffic while you enjoy a day in a Willys Jeep”

“I have owned this jeep for about a year. I have a clean and clear tile in my hands. It is in overall great shape and starts and runs great. Also included is a repair manual and a few boxes of miscellaneous parts. I purchased this jeep with the intent to restore and use as a UTV on my land in Michigan. However at 6’3 220 it’s a little too small for me and I have since picked a Series 3 Land Rover for that purpose. Please read below for detailed info.
The tub on the jeep is custom made from ~ 1/8” steel. The dash, hood, etc is original. I sanded the body down to remove all surface rust, coated it with por 15, and then sprayed on Liner Xtreeme Olive Drab Bed Liner. This body should outlast all of us. Also new tail lights and all ignition wiring. Continue reading
