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 $3500.

Here’s an interesting custom wood dash.
“Its a 1963 willys jeep wagon. 1/2 ton gm drive train. It’s a project I lost interest in.”
http://fortcollins.craigslist.org/cto/5469313568.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500 …. Terry noticed this is an ex-airline 3B. Note the angled passenger rear wheel well. It looks as if someone grafted another body piece onto the back of this to make it appear normalish.
I’m gonna guess it doesn’t run. Interesting dash mod.
“I have a flat fender high hood Willys I would like to trade for a street legal motorcycle preferably a sportster or Harley basket case, might take a dual sport or a cruiser if it’s worth it”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000. The seller tells me this was owned by Larry Minor.
This has a couple classic Fresno upgrades like the doors and the dash. I learned the other day that Edgewood 4×4 near Tacoma, Washington, used to sell a custom fiberglass dash for M-38A1s/CJ-5s. I’ll try to find some pics. I saw one in person, but didn’t have a camera with me.

http://modesto.craigslist.org/cto/5264949064.html
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2300
Was a non-running MB in Reno, so someone was able to add value and get this jeep running. Thanks to Jay for pointing this out. Listed as a 1947 CJ-2A, this looks more like a modified MB/GPW.
