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 orange metal half top is perfect for a 1949 Willys Jeep. The back panel comes off and has a small plastic window in the back. The top also has a wooden bracket that goes across with a bracket for a light. Could be modified for other Jeep sizes and years. Metal does have flaking paint and needs work to restore”

“This is a 1949 Willys Jeepster Phaeton Project. It is nearly complete and the body and frame have been media blasted, The frame was then primered and painted gloss black enamel w/hardener. The body has no dents and was primered. This will make an easy restoration project, a killer hot rod project or a gnarly off roader. It is all original with no modifications and comes with the original 3 speed transmission with overdrive.
There is no engine but I have a GM 3.8 V6 available. These will accommodate engines from the original 4 cyl. flathead to a small block V8. Parts for these cars are readily available and inexpensive from several sources both new and used.
These are the last of the Phaetons that were produced and there were only about 6000 1949’s made. These Phaetons were only made for 3 years. I have owned a jeep like this before and they are a blast to drive as everyone who sees it gives you the thumbs up and crowds around it when you park.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $200.
Price is for all.
“I’ve got 3 of them. Asking $200 for the lot.
#1 with block casting # 641087. It has been rebuilt, sometime pre-1975 as that’s when the shop closed. The serial #states it is a 3J motor though. Comes with carb, trans, tc, and whatever other accessories are attached. Serial # 3J-12582.
#2 with 641087 casting is this truck motor, which was kept indoors, said to have been rebuild and never used. Have not verified this. Still has paper stuffed inside the intake and exhaust ports. Serial # 2T-19742 I think. No trans/tc attached
#3 is 638632 block casting, serial # is J-87149. No trans/tc attached.”

UPDATE II: Merlin has created an order page for the book. Payment by check or credit card (no PayPal), check preferred. Directions are all on the order page. After April 20th all books will be direct from publisher and more expensive.
https://hansonmechanical.wordpress.com/2018/04/05/ordering-the-alaska-or-rust-book/
We may have a handful of books for sale at the Midwest Willys Reunion, but probably not too many.
UPDATE: I confirmed with Merlin that the first run of hardcover books will cost $40 and that will include shipping in the continental US. The book is 144 pages with over 300 color photos. After that, the book will be available through Blurb.com at a cost of $42 + shipping (I suspect they print and mail them to order). When Merlin is ready, he will create a book order page on his website. He will only be accepting checks or money orders. I will let you know when he’s ready.
Printing number one of the book will be hardcover edition. I really like the hardcover so I will probably only release a paperback down the road, or maybe just print some and sell them at shows. As soon as I have the postage details together I will start accepting orders for books and I will setup a blog post with instructions on how to pre-order.
Merlin Hanson has authored a photo book on our trip to Alaska and received his first full proof yesterday. He doesn’t plan to print a lot of extra books, but I would be curious to know if anyone has any interest in purchasing a copy (I thought of this last night and still need to check with Merlin about it).
