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 .

Rolling chassis. Seller lists the year as a 1954 (obviously wrong), but it doesn’t appear to have reversed front springs to me, so I’d say more like ’57 or later.

Craig spotted this one. It has an interesting color. It’s also got an unusual air cleaner solution.
“This is my wonderful 1961 Willys Overland Jeep CJ-5 that is 100% ready to be driven anywhere. It is currently registered and insured in my name.
Lots of recent work with $6000+ worth of receipts:
Engine redone including all seals, bearings and rings under 1000 miles ago.
New Carb
New Fuel Pump
Differential Seals
New Gauges
New Exhaust
Previous work includes a transmission rebuild and new brakes.
Everything on the truck has been gone through over the past few years.
It comes with a 6 month old Best top supertop (full top with soft doors) and a Bikini top that is only a few years old. The interior and bodyword was all redone a few years ago and is in great condition.
The Jeep starts right up, 4wd engages in hi and low. It has a Saturn / Warn Overdrive unit that works as it should and really helps on long drives.
It will come with several new parts I haven’t needed yet as well as all the parts taken off the jeep that were replaced, a second front bumper with a tow bar and the paperwork for all the recent work. If you are looking for a Willy CJ CJ2A CJ3A CJ3B or CJ7 this truck is worth checking out. I have taken it on long drives without issue.
Bought a house, so selling the Jeep, no trades.”
