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: Price dropped to $400.

Yes, we are joining the crowds in Phoenix for the most excellent 2016 FC-Roundup this year!! As always, the event takes place March 18-20th at Ybarra “Resort and Spa” Get all the details here: http://thefcconnection.com/2016_fc_roundup_march_18-20,2016.htm
We also plan to do a few other things while in the area:
1. We will check out the Goldfield Ghost Town this year.
2. We’ll be driving down to Tucson to visit the ASARCO (what’s left of the company anyway) Mineral Discovery Center and Mine Tour. Since my latest book is about the early history of the once giant smelting and refining company, it seemed like a good idea to go on one of their tours.
3. No trip to Phoenix would be complete without sharing a beer with “Joe in Mesa”.
This 1944 Ad out of the Southeast Missourian featured “Jim” piloting what looks like a Ford GP.
Looks like that was tough going.

“1947 Willys jeep for sale. Original motor that runs good. Can be driven but need some work yet. It is a good start for some one wanting to restore a Jeep.
