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 $5000.
This MB has some hefty bumpers.

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $2750.
(07/21/2015) Lots of updates. It seems to have an odd paint job. I wish there was a closeup pic.
“’48 Willys Jeep CJ2a, Yes it’s a real Jeep, I built it!! Orig body in good shape, orig frame, some repair to front. ’74 CJ-5 Dana 30 / 44 with 4.27 gears, was told rear is a posi. Late ’80s Chevy 305 V8, ’55 SM420 trans, worn second gear synchro. ’68 Scout Dana 20 xfer case, appears to have factory twin stick, i.e. can shift into 2wd low range. Hanging brake pedal with a ’74 CJ5 dual port master cylinder.Was a daily driver through 2001, largely sat since. Started and drove it a bit a year ago. Comes with a ’79 Dana 30 narrow track CJ-7 axle with disc brakes, so you have all the parts needed for a front disc conversion; from the looks I’d get new rotors and calipers, use these for cores. Has aftermarket rear folding seat, and of course the Besttop in pics.
what it needs:
New drivers seat (have a premium racing seat brand new!)
new gas tank (have a new one in the box with new sending unit and gasket) The one in it is JC Whitney, had mis-aligned sending unit holes.
New fuel line, has a rubber line that’s OK, but exits frame real close to the exhaust.
New battery
Of course, replace brake fluid, oil etc etc.
Jeep is in Winnemucca. I can bring it to Reno, but not ’til after Burningman. Yes, this Willy’s is an old school Burner, ’96 thru ’99! (Hence the hand print paint job). Even has an original “Nevadans for Burningman” sticker!
Got a beat up Cherokee for a new project; has room for the 90 lb dog and camping gear!”

Thanks to Blaine for spotting this good looking Model 90 for sale. What’s an Empire Tractor?
“Empire tractors were only built for a few years after WWII.
The drivetrain of these tractors was the Willys Jeep 4×4 which were available at that time.
The engine, transmission, transfer case, rearend, radiator, steering column and wheel are all Willys.
The operator platform of the tractor is surplus navy ship decking.
This tractor does not have the original Willys engine, but instead has a flat head Jeep engine with a counterbalanced crankshaft. The electrical system has also been updated to 12v instead of the original 6v system.
The engine, transmission, and transfer case were all rebuilt a few years ago. The engine runs great and idles very smoothly.
The tractor can easily do 20mph on the road and if the rear tires were balanced it would go faster.
This tractor would be great for someone wanting to do one of the antique tractor drives that various tractor clubs offer.
There are less than 500 Empire tractors in the USA, known to the Empire Tractor Club.
(oh…. also included with the tractor for the buyer would be all the Empire Tractor Club newsletters that I have)”
