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 .
This is actually a GPW (based on the parts I can see), though it’s been modified a bit.

(04/12/2010) The fiberglass body for my jeep came from Lakeview. It’s a tiny town, but they have a nice meat shop as well.

If you can unbury it from the snow, this might be a good price!

“
Selling 1961 Willys pickup for parts or restore.Runs and trans is good. Lots of rust.Local pick up only no shipping.100.00 deposit at end of sale bal due on pick up.”
The underside of the body looks pretty good. It has had a few patches, as if the body used to have powersteering (hole in the grille) and a F-head motor (hole in the hood).
“I’m listing this for a friend. It has a 225 V6, T-90, T18 Transfer case, larger brake kit. Bodys fair-, but is workable. Comes with a spare hood and grille for repairing. Runs and drives, goes thru the gears ok and brakes work. Frame is good with no weird plates welded on or holes drilled. Needs glass, windshield in good shape. windshield vent works, needs bracket to hold open. For a do it yourself, it could turn out real clean without putting alot of cash in it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
This is missing a motor, but otherwise looks good.

This is a nice build. This would be worth checking out more closely. Note the upside handbrake; an unusual way to install the e-brake.

Mark spotted this unusual find when it was still available early on Sunday. However, it sold during the course of the day for $15,000. I’d love to know where it lands as it is something very unusual and rather fantastical.
“In 1962, the Army tested a machine known as The Overland Train at Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona. It was designed to carry equipment and supplies over both on- and off-road terrains. The train consisted of the control car, ten self tracking cargo cars, and two power generating cars. It was 565 feet long and could haul 150 tons of cargo. The control car also contained living quarters for a crew of six, complete with sleeping, eating and sanitation facilities.
The enclosed pictures are of a sister unit here in Alaska. It’s important to note this is one of the last existing units of this type anywhere. This unit consists of the control car and 3 trailers (mostly aluminum). All the units have tires and we also have a large amount of extra tires & wheels. This unit does not run and is not operable however according to Le Tourneau, the manufacturer most if not all parts are still available and or re-buildable. Would also make a terrific static display for museum. This unit is for sale as is FOB North Pole, Alaska, to the highest bidder above the reserve set by the estate.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
This sounds like a nicely updated jeep.
