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 .

The April 1955 issue of Willys News published this photo. It’s a tour jeep truck for the Africa. It seems a little too open to me. Those lions look like they could easily leap inside.
Blaine spotted this unique kit. It transforms a kids wagon, such as a Radio Flyer, into a jeep-shaped wagon.
“XploRoller is a rugged wagon body that attaches to various wagon axles like, Radio Flyer©, Harbor Freight wagons, or go extreme and build a custom suspension system. The hood lifts up for a little storage (sweaters and snacks fit great). Start a fun project with your kid/kids and stand out from the crowd, don’t have WAGON ENVY 🙂
(THE GREEN, PURPLE, AND GRAY WAGONS ARE BUILT EXAMPLES)

Willys needs the following work to be road worthy;
New or rebuilt carb. This one has sat with gas in it.
New starter. The one that it has is missing a couple of teeth on the gear.
Windshield glass. I have the gaskets, just not the flat glass.
The wood blocks that go on the hood so that you can lower the windshield.

Anthony is selling these trucks. We got to meet him during our tour of California in 2014.
“This is a great opportunity to own three Willy’s trucks. For sale are a 1955, and two 1959’s. One 59 runs good, street legal, blinkers, speedo, gauges work, could be daily driver. That truck will be sold with a truck cover. The 1959 will be sold with a rebuilt super hurricane flat head six, with water pump and possible clutch assemblies. Additionally, starter has been rebuilt; radiator have been boiled, cleaned and repainted, new tires, extra seats, doors. The trucks are basically all original with engines and transmissions. The 1959 has good transmission that doesn’t jump out of second (notorious for T-90’s), and both 4-wheel drive works well. Some body work will be needed, but the body is in decent shape for 1950’s. I am selling for I do not have the time to refurbish. Clean title on all three. (I will miss them).”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(09/11/2015) Runs, but the steps area has been modified.
“Great deer lease ride. It is in running condition and the 4×4 works. Could use some cosmetic work like paint, but very little rust.”

Lew blames me for his newest CJ-2A 🙂
Lew wrote, In the past couple years that I have been watching eWillys I have bought two Willys that were shown here … But this latest was completely your fault. I didnt need a CJ2A. But after watching them for that time on your site, I contracted the disease that I thought was isolated to the wagons, and maybe trucks. So now for at least a year I have looking pretty hard for one for my wife, except she didnt know it and I wasnt sure she would go for it anyway.
At a museum a few months ago I showed her an old MB and asked what she thought. To my amazement she said she thought it was cute and would be fun to drive. That from a woman who has driven pretty much pick ups her whole life thus far. Well a couple weeks ago one showed up in a nearby state that fit our needs and at a negotiated price I could justify. I went and got it and she has been driving it around our farm until it gets registered.
These are checking out the fall colors here in N. UT. We both really enjoy this. Should never have sold our MB ten years ago, and the wagon lacks the topless views, so due to your efforts, we now have this and big smiles.
So, I just wanted to let you know it is your fault that my wife and I now have another Willys and the smiles that come with it.
Ann and her mom dropped by Dayton today to visit the National Museum of the Air Force. She didn’t find any jeeps, but she did run across this neat photo.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
