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 .

“Original survivor. 98% rust free. So California Jeep. Excellent candidate for restoration. 95% of original parts still intact. 6 volts. This Jeep still runs and drives. Used as a parade Jeep for last 10 years. Clean California Title Nellybelle #3 or urban Myth? When I purchased this Jeep, the owner said it was bought from the movie studios in 1975. There were supposed to be 3 Nellybelle’s: A close up Jeep; a Stunt Jeep and a Long Distance Jeep. This was said to be the Long Distance Jeep. I have never been able to verify this. There is an engine noise that seems to be coming from harmonic balancer pulley area (not internal engine). Dualamatic overdrive has bad gear noise. Small channel on passenger side rusted out. 15” wheels.”
UPDATE: Sold. Was listed at $1800. Now in Idaho Falls, Id.
It runs and has a PTO winch. Looks like a good price.
