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 one has an unusual windshield and rollbar setup.

“Restored with 1970’s running gear and V6. 4000 miles on rebuild and new odometer.”
It runs, but needs work.

“Runs great! Great off road vehicle! Title in hand this is an off road vehicle not street legal needs lights. Easy fix just don’t have time for it.”
It’s got a Bobcat body and hood. Seems like there is value here. It may have Allstate (or Husky) Hubs.

“1953 jeep cj2a,full fiber glass body,bobcat hood,rear dana 44 front dana 27, no motor or trans or title. Tube fenders that are well built. These are left over parts from my cj3b build that’s the reason for no title.”
This old school build looks in great shape. No year listed in the ad. It has one of the more unusual roll bar designs, as it appears the roller is bolted to the sides of the body.

“All rebuilt – upholstery, paint & garaged for 25 years. Great condition! 48,000 miles Installed new carburetor and seat belts.”
Given the Hemet Jeep Club stickers on the sides, this was likely a California jeep at some point.
