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 .

This amusement ride jeep weights sixty pounds.
“Jeep Lovers, this is a fantastic find from the early 1950’s. This red Jeep measures 4 ft long and 2 ft wide and easily accomodates a child up to 10 years of age. All original condition, tires, axles, steering, body, even the chain they used to use to strap us in! The Jeep when it was in use, was connected to a center motor by an arm that moved a gang of 6 different Jeeps in a circle with some steering allowed. This is not a peddle car and doesn’t have any power feature of it’s own. Heavy metal construction. A wonderful piece of childhood nostalgia! Very sturdy, steers straight, (no brakes). Very, very rare! Bid with confidence, you’ll be the only ‘kid’ on your block (or state) with one. Research shows they were made from 1950-1952. See you tube video regarding the Kiddie Jeep ride some guy was rebuilding if you’re interested. Available for inspection at Red Rooster, New Braunfels, TX M-Sat 10-6 while auction is open. Available locally so auction could end early to cash-in-hand buyer. Weighs about 60 lbs.”

Thanks to Dennis for correcting me. Admittedly, I hadn’t had my caffeinated tea before deciding what this was. With that in mind, check out how this CJ-6 is setup for lighting.

This has a buy-it-now price of $1100.
“This is 50 year old rather scarce model willy;s truck in rather rough shape. The truck is a 1957 that was last registered in 1978; The truck has a current Idaho title. I can turn the engine over with a wrench and I pulled it so the tires turn. The pictures show that there really are no straight body panels or good glass and the fuel tank, tailgate, radiator and one seat are missing.. The truck is built on a 1957 CJ-5 chassis and a 1957 jeep body fits. I understand that the chassis parts are easy to obtain and the body/bed parts are getting scarce but are available at a reasonable cost. I suggest that the buyer pick this up with a regular car trailer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“Veyr respectable 1954 Willys. Has seen fire service for a number of years as has been adapted to that use. Some of the modifications are: the 4 cylinder has been swapped out for a V6, tilt steering has been added, long tube headers with good sounding glass packs, an aluminum dash has been put in and a roll bar has been added for safety. It has seen one restoration in its life many years ago and is starting to show its age again. This little brute is a ball to drive. Albeit at 45 mph, but you buy this rig for the ambiance and the scenery anyway so why hurry. Just had the master cylinder rebuilt with misc. brake lines replaced. One new wheel cylinder. The radiator boiled and reinstalled along with a new fan belt and top hose. Cheap fun in the sun. This auction is an as is- where is sale. You bid- you own. Shipping is available. Please ask Doc all the questions you can think of and be comfortable with your new purchase. Good luck. I reserve the right to end this sale early. No warranties written,expressed or implied.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
