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 .
Runs and drives.

“1946 Willys Rat Rod/Hot Rod project. Willys body On a YJ frame, Z’ed in the rear over a full float 14 bolt axle, 4 linked with stock TJ arms and springs. Chevy 307 SB, with Edelbrock Performer intake & Holley 650. Original grill (as far as I know) and all four tires 31X9.5X16 included. Floor structure is there, just needs a floor. Front suspension needs to be built. Included are 1 Ton front inner C’s/hubs/rotors to make a custom axle. I can also include a complete I Beam axle, with a 4-5″ drop. And maybe even a complete passenger drop Dana 44 with the matching 8 lugs. This is a great start to complete the build, or part out! I’m open to trades, specifically looking for a tandem axle car hauler. I like anything automotive!”

The DJ’s ‘fleetness of get-away’ was one reason Kreisher purchased these dispatchers. There had to be faster vehicles than the DJ!
UPDATE: Originally I listed this as a 1941 article, based on a database date stamp. Richard pointed out the stamped grill would make this unlikely. It’s a good point! Additional research suggests the paper was from the 1942-43 time frame.
This photo documents one of fifteen jeeps transformed by the Canadians into fire jeeps. I don’t have a date on the newspaper, but it was published in an issue of the Flesherton Ontario Advance Newspaper.
This photo was published in the Suffolk County News on page 1.
Jean de Preissac designed a variety of WWII postcards.

I’ve owned this Jeep for about 13 years now and have done a considerable amount of work to it over the years. Between work and kids it spends most of the time in the garage these days collecting dust. I run it around town every few weeks to keep the battery charged but it hasn’t been wheeling in years.
The body and chassis both show their age but work fine for the intended purpose. All other parts have been replaced at some point in the past decade. Probably $15K or so invested in that time.”
