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 .

“945 WWII Jeep GPW
Almost all original 1945 Jeep GPW, this Jeep has all it’s extremely hard to find original drive train and it runs great and drives. The Jeep is in good shape for being 73 years old, I was in the process of restoring it to all original but the garage is getting too crowded with 6 Jeeps so I need to thin the herd out a little.
This Jeep is perfect for an all-out off the showroom floor restoration or the way I was going to do it where it is back to original but with some original patina so you’re not afraid to take it out and play with it.
It has a New reproduction fuel tank in it, New pinion seals, New paint, New hood blocks, New reproduction shipping plate, all New oil’s, New battery and New windshield catches.
It also has the original mounting in the floor/frame for the .30 cal machine gun mount.”
Looks like some value here.
“It ran the last time I drove it about 10 years ago. The motor is a Ford Mustang engine”
