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 .

If it runs, this might be a good project.

Carburetor and fuel system cleaned out, it ran , but fuel has been sitting in it for about 3 or 4 years now. Brake system, brakes work but I have never been in them, and bearings gone through. Body is rough and has bondo but looks good from a distance. Don’t really want to sell it so no low ballers, but I am moving and don’t really have a place to keep it. Just trying to recoup a little bit of the thousands I have invested in it. ”

“Rare original NEKAF M381A Willy’s military jeep assembled in Netherlands for the Dutch army. Runs and drives perfect. This is an all original jeep. You will not find another in such good shape.
Best reasonable offer buys.
The vehicle with the longest service record in the Dutch military, serving in the Royal Army for more than 40 years from 1952 until 1996, is the M38A1 Jeep. During and shortly after World War II, the Dutch army used jeeps left behind by American forces. By the early 1950’s however, the army was looking for a replacement, and in 1952 received a number of U.S.-built M38A1’s under the Mutual Defence Assistance Program. Continue reading
