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 .
UPDATE: See comment below. Price quoted by seller was higher thank $10k, despite what appears in the ad.

This was listed over at warjeeps.com.
“I’m wrapping up my 1942 willys MB wartime army jeep project. It runs very well and is street legal with Kansas tag, blinkers, tail lights, headlights, seat belts, and brake lights.
Great for WWII parades! Many new parts such as gas tank, sending unit, seats, cushions, grille, lights, blackout lights, tires, steering wheel, etc. everything works. I regularly drive it to Lowes and on errands. Lots of extras like the gun case, extinguisher, axe, shovel, jerry gas can, rope on bumper, safety door straps, hip crash pads, and I have some WWII pouches to hang over the side in shows.
It also has a military canvas soft top that is included.
One neat thing is the seat has been pushed back about 3″ for more leg room and bigger bellies. This makes it very comfortable to drive, and it’s not visually obvious at all.
I am also selling a matching m416 1966 military trailer. I’m selling it for $2,500.”
