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: It’s been almost nine years since I posted a series of Testimonials to the early jeeps that were part of a very rare early sales book. Most, but not all, included images. A friend of mine shared them with me. You can see them all here: http://www.ewillys.com/tag/1946-testimonials/

This has a replacement body. The package includes a trailer. The grille has either been replaced with an earlier grille, or this is an earlier jeep. Note the rear floating hubs, too.

“Willys Jeep about a 1944 year model, I bought this Willys sight unseen not knowing the year to possibly use for parts on another Jeep, I did not know it was a Willys MB (Wartime) Jeep and have decided just to sell to someone maybe needing parts from an actual Wartime used Willys. I “will not” part it out, it must go complete, It is very rough and rusty but has good useable pieces to someone wanting actual WWII military Willys Jeep parts, there is “no title” , and what you see in the pictures is what’s there, the motor is locked but I don’t know if it’s bad, I don’t know the condition of the trans or transfer case, it is being sold “as is, no warranty” the Jeep “will not” roll and all tires are flat, purchaser will need a trailer with a winch or someway to load it themselves.”
