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 .

“It’s all there, but needs a motor. It ran and drove about a month ago, but I took the motor out to build a Willys M38A1. I just don’t need it. The body needs floor work, but is some what solid. Also comes with a Hard top with doors. I will trade for WWII Jeep Ford GPW parts. I need a body tub for a WWII Jeep, transmission T84, and brackets. I have lots more Jeeps for sale.”
I’m sorry to say that I experienced a death recently, a close friend with whom I have shared close calls and turbulent times. While my friend was there most times, there were times that this friend was nowhere to be found. For this reason, I don’t wholly miss my friend. In fact, though I buried my friend, rather than entombing my friend 6ft under ground, my friend is entombed in my computer bag.
Yes, my Samsung Instinct died; Or more accurately, I put him to death. He was behaving badly over the last week, so I punished his disloyalty by purchasing a new phone with a new provider — a Samsung Captivate with the Andriod OS with AT&T. So, though my old friend is gone and buried, he is not missed … not in the slightest.
With my new phone, I can now text again, dial phone numbers, surf the web and even download APPS. Oh happy days!
Since I am now back in the age of modern phones, I felt it was time to implement a ‘mobile edition’ of eWillys. For now, it is simply a mobile browser addition, meaning it is a little friendlier for the phone — at least it is on my android phone.
Let me know if it works or doesn’t work. You can always turn it off by scrolling all the way down and clicking on “turn mobile off”. Once you turn it off, you can view the regular site. To reinstate the mobile view, you’ll need to clear the cookies in your mobile phone browser.
Kevin painted his wagon with some unusual help …
Kevin writes, “I Finally got good help on my ’62 Willys Wagon rebuild…it didn’t hurt either to wear my “Big Daddy Roth” – Rat Fink t-shirt for inspirational artistic talents…and yes, in tradition of an old time build, I’m painting it outdoors.”
The serial number suggests this is a ’59 rather than a ’71 or ’72 (http://www.jeeptech.com/models/cj-5.htm).

Lots of work has been completed, but plenty left. No mention of how the seller has identified this as a M-606.
