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 .

(04/07/2017) Nicely updated wagon.
“Summer cruiser. This is a great little Willys wagon that has an older restoration that is still in great shape. It looks great and the 4-bolt main 350 sounds fantastic. It has a 700R4 transmission to get that great overdrive and fuel economy for cruising to those great summer cruise ins’. I have a three-ring notebook and a cd full of the history for this great little rig. I will list a few items below but really to much to list all so if you are interested please call and we can discuss.
It has:
350 with a 4-bolt block W/Comp cam
Flow master 50 mufflers
700-R4 Automatic transmission
Vintage air conditioning
Dakota digital dash instruments
Power steering and Brakes
Disc brakes on the front
American Racing wheels that were put on just before I purchased it
Front suspension – Heidt’s Super Ride 2
Rear End is a Currie 4 link
Coil overs front and rear
Headers
Paint overall is in great shape but as all older restoration could use come spot work as I show in one of the pictures but if you look at the CD I have, you will see they did a great job on it. Lots of pictures.
If you are looking for a great cruiser this summer give me a call and come look at this little beauty. I will not respond to emails so put your contact information in the email and I can contact you. I prefer a phone call, but Text is ok. You won’t be disappointed in this little rig.”
Nice looking wagon.
“Restored with only 2400 miles since restoration – 350 Crate 350 turbo, painless wiring, Vintage AC – power windows, seats, all leather custom interior. Unique and super cool head turner – period correct 1956 tagged license plate – I bought this to brand and use for a coffee roasting business, closed the business so now it just sits in the garage or goes out to the occasional car show.

Joe in Mesa forwarded photos of this truck that the Road Hauks crew on Discovery channel made over. Only those with history channel access can see this online. Otherwise, set up your DVR to record it. I’m sure they’d rerun it.

The DJ had been damaged, so the seller though why not do something fun.
“Would consider trades for a softail.
I am begrudgingly selling my rat rod jeep project that I’ve built over the course of a few years.
Originally a CA car (except for the last 2 years it’s been here in Key West), I bought it in the San Francisco Bay Area after someone had crashed into the rear while it was parked on the road. It barely ran, had the original straight 6 in, and was a mess.
For those of you who don’t know, the DJ-5 series is an automatic, 2wd jeep from the factory. Often used as rural mail trucks, the DJ-5 often comes right and drive. This is a left hand drive, but I suspect that someone changed it to LHD before I got it.
