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 .
It goes, it plows.

“This is a 1951 Willys truck that I bought as a project, but after a divorce and being a single parent, I find I don’t have the time or money to fix it up. It currently runs, but as with all old cars, could always use some work. It is currently registered till February. Does not have the original motor trans or rear end, they were converted before I bought it. It has a Dodge 225 slant 6 motor and trans, and a chevy rear end. There is noticeable rust/cancer on both front fenders and along the drip rail molding, and I suspect there is some in the bed, but it has been painted over. I also have a chevy 350 with a 4 bolt main, that I had intended to put in this truck, that I will sell with the truck. Please only contact me if you are serious.”

No engine, but appears solid. This might be a good find for an eastern truck.

The price has dropped $50 and the seller added pics. It is a rare “Tender” (“Tenders” have an unusual truck bed). One again I’ll ask, does anyone know anything about these trucks?
I spent some time search for Jeeps in Museums today. I discovered that in 1996 a museum with some wwII jeeps closed and the jeeps were purchased and sent to Indiana. After a little searching, I am pretty sure these were bought by the National Automotive and Truck Museum of the United States (NATMUS), located in Auburn, Indiana. This appears to be a pretty sizeable museum with a great collection of both stock and modified vehicles.
Sorting through images at different sites, I did eventually find an image of a GP (to be published later) located at NATMUS. I sent them an email to see if I can get additional images and information (my emails to museums thus far have proven useless so far, with the exception of a gracious and quick response from the York Museum in PA).
One additional item I discovered while searching through some NATMUS images was this modified Willys Truck hidden in the background of a pic focused on the Popcorn Wagon (see pic to right). Fortunately, I could identify the website emblazoned on the windshield and, viola, I found some great pics of this vehicle to share.
This truck, called Silly Willy, was built by Wild Fire Manufacturing for 1st Attack (Jeffrey Cook is president of both companies). 1st Attack is a company that specializes in the development of offroad emergency vehicles. You might know Jeffrey Cook from his days as owner/driver of the Monster Truck War Wagon that toured nationally.
Here’s some pics of Silly Willy:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.

Nice Truck spotted by HOG!
“Hello and thanks for looking! For sale is a 1949 4 wheel drive Willys truck professionally restored in 2008. This was a frame-off restoration. The truck has been used very little sine the restoration with 875 miles on the odometer. This was a painstaking, frame-off restoration that took over three years to complete. No expense was spared in this restoration. Everything was replaced new or rebuilt to factory specifiactions. The truck runs and drives like new. The 4 cylinder motor was balanced and runs like a swiss watch. The transmission and transfer case was completely rebuilt. Everything was replaced. New saturn overdrive was installed as well. The bed is new. The original willys-overland symbol was grafted in the new tailgate. Over 40 hours of labor went into this task alone. Besides the original gauges, Stewart-Warner gauges accompany a 6 volt tachometer. The interior has been upgraded and the there is a SIKKENS two stage paint finish on the interior and exterior. Please e-mail me with any questions. Thanks for looking and happy bidding!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000
