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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 has a rare DJ-3A dry gauze air filter.

“350 Corvette engine. 4-speed manual. 4WD. Front locker. New BFG all terrains. Garage kept for most of its life. Paint still looks brand new. Has a bikini top and soft top. Front bucket seats, rear bench. Tow bar.
A really nice jeep in its heyday but has been sitting for 15-ish years. I had it running and drove around the block about 1 year ago but has been sitting since. It does need some work as reflected in the price (fully updated and driveable Jeeps like this go for $14,000+). Built by my uncle before 4wheelparts existed so you will have to spec parts on your own.
Needed immediately: front and rear leaf springs (flattened out), bump stops, and maybe shocks. Drum brakes need a good flush and bleed. Will take a little go-juice for the carb to get her running but then she purrs.
