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 .

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.”

“I have a 1947 CJ 2A and I cannot handle this project right now. It is a flat fender Willys Jeep. The whole thing is complete. I own Redi-strip of phoenix now Clean Metal Industries, and striped this vehicle a long time ago thinking I was going to rebuild it. The tub is off the frame right now and upon sale the vehicle will be cleaned again and you will be receiving the jeep with the tub on the rolling frame , in bare metal form. SO you will be able to begin work on it right away. The vehicle has the 4 cylinder motor, it is 4×4 and is completely there. I really need to find a home for this and with all the pieces stripped and ready for body work, you have a great head start. I DO NOT have a title for this vehicle. I do have all the original tags for the vehicle.. The frame has not been striped but will gladly strip it when the project gets to that point.”

As you might have noticed recently, eWillys was offline. This was as much a surprise to me as it was to everyone else.
What happened? Last Wednesday eWillys’ web server stopped functioning correctly. When rebooted the server would function correctly for a minute or two, before becoming overwhelmed. Successive reboots proved useless.
What caused the problem? We still don’t know. After fiddling around with the server, we (meaning the McDonagh Brothers .. not much I could do) determined that the web server ran fine if it was not allowed to communicate with the wilds of the internet. What we concluded was that something might have been injected onto the server that was feeding back onto the web, consuming the resources of the web server. But, truthfully, we don’t know, because it didn’t work long enough to dissect.
The solution? After discussing the problem, I learned the McDonagh’s had built a cloud platform and were moving clients to it. I made the call to move eWillys to their cloud sooner than planned and move it onto the latest installation of a clean version of WordPress.
Why did that take 5 days? The problem was that they were already in the middle of moving other clients, so I needed to wait. While we waited, they tried restarting the server from time-to-time, but the same thing kept happening.
So, the good news is that eWillys is now on a faster platform. And, the move would have occurred anyway, so we have that out of the way!
UPDATES: During the downtime I created the code for a couple updates (which I still need to install). One is a bit of code that auto-marks post older than 6 months.
The second changes the way eWillys functions. When you click on a post’s comment or title link from the front page, a new browser tab will open. I am hoping this reduces the need to jump back and forth between the front page and individual posts. I will get that pertinent files installed in the next day or two.
Paul really seems serious about finishing his jeep! Below he shares photos and updates:
All sidewall and top upholstery panels have been installed so I began cutting foam for the front seats.
Still waiting on the carpet for the rear wheel well tops, the rear floor and the front seat footwell areas.
Here you’re looking at the rear window panel and the left rear wheel well. I think the gray fabric and the stainless steel look pretty good together.
I’m looking forward to getting the seats upholstered. The gray and blue seat colors should add a bit of color to the interior.
Front seats reinstalled, the foam is rough cut and the combination of thick foam for the bottom and thin foam for the back will allow enough room for me to reach all of the controls and still see out the windshield. The side windows are another matter. I should have Sumo-sized my Willys.
