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 $4500. Was listed as a 1949, now a 1947.
(12/09/2012) It appears to be in good shape, except for the black area on the passenger side of the body.

Was this originally a fire jeep? It doesn’t currently run.
“1947 WILLY’S Jeep. Original engine, rear end, transfer box, gear box, drivetrain, axles.
Jeep rolls and the engine turns fine. It was running 5 years ago before it was put away. It has been modified with a FIXED windshield as opposed to the fold down original version.
Body is ROT FREE. Some body work has been done, but the work that was done was pretty good. There is some surface rust but its cosmetic. Floor pans are solid. Previous owner was going to convert it into a fire jeep. Comes with a tank and electric hose reel. I also have the original tail gate.
Steering column is a chevy make. Steers the Jeep just fine. Gauges and wiring will need to be gone through. You could get this jeep up and running with a little elbow grease and some wiring knowhow or you can customize it however you wish. Its a PERFECT PROJECT.
Price is negotiable. Bring cash and a trailer and lets do a deal. I have a title in hand.”
