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 .

“runs drives some rust this is a rare antique just try and find another you won’t”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9000.
It seems to be made from extra parts from various jeeps. Paul notes, correctly, that the outside of the rims have been sprayed, but the insides haven’t, suggesting a quick-n-dirty spray job. If you look at the bottom of the rig, you can see where black spray paint got to some spots and not other others, like the bottom of the axle housings, the bottom of the springs shackles, parts of the muffler, etc.

Carl wants to sell his good looking CJ-7 so he can purchase a flattie.
“This is my pride and joy. 1976 CJ7 4X4 with a quadratrac transfer case with high and low range. I started with a 76 cj7, took it down to the frame and started restoring. I spent 3 years building this jeep, invested tons of money and countless hours. I am only selling due to financial reasons.
All parts were cleaned, primed, painted, replaced or upgraded. The jeep is painted single stage John Deere yellow with Gun Metal Grey trim. Paint is excellent and just over a year old.(There are a few small cracks) Ready to go another 35 years. This jeep was designed for reliability. It has power steering and manual brakes. Manual brakes work excellent, no need to upgrade to power they work so well. The engine sound very solid and does not smoke. It had to have been rebuilt not so long ago. Transmission shifts smooth.
Will need a horn relay, the stereo hooked up and speakers, clock does not work. I would move the emergency drive switch from the glove box to the center consol. The glove box door hits the roll cage when trying to open. I have a few extra parts to go with it.
The top is gray and the doors are black. The top is not the newest but it works just fine…. view more description on eBay”

“1959 Willys CJ5 Civilian Jeep 3 spd 4WD in excellent condition, with 19,496 orig miles. I have owned this jeep since 1980. In 1982, I restored and painted the body and installed a new clutch, pressure plate, and a throw out bearing. Given the low mileage, all the mechanicals were in excellent condition and still are. A few years ago the exhaust manifold was replaced. For the past 30 years the jeep has been on my farm and just used there occasionally. I purchased the vehicle with a 60 inch snow plow, although was not used to plow snow. It has military tires, as seen in the pictures, as well as a spare (not in the picture.) Three extra new military tires and the snow plow will be included. This jeep has been carefully maintained and stored in a clean, climate controlled shop.’
UPDATE: Sold. Was listed at $4000.
This might be a good deal. It looks stock and in good shape.
