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 .

Ori forwarded me this image take by Danny Koro during a visit to Cuba. You can see the ‘Willys’ stamp on the hood, which indicates the hood has been trimmed. It sure is unusual. You can see more info about the post here: http://www.carsforum.co.il/vb/showthread.php?t=372206
I spotted this image at several sites, but the largest version I found was at edinburghnapiernews.com. I’m gonna guess, based only on the building in the right corner, that this pile of vehicles is somewhere in Europe. Strangely, this image is used as a header image for an article on the importance of recycling and freecycling. And I think the image is supposed to reinforce the importance of recycling and the problems of waste. I believe the irony of the use of this photo with the article is that these vehicles were in fact piled as a first step in their recycling process (for their reuse in steel).
This is a K-state colored jeep.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
Not sure this is a ‘collector’s dream’; I wouldn’t quite call it a rebuilder’s dream either, but looks like a solid rig.
“A Collectors Dream!!
Good mechanical condition, original 4cyl motor, 4 speed transmission Warn winch 6000k(does work)
Soft top and doors w/small tears easily repairable no cracks on windshield.
all original. Original 38,400 miles on odometer. Shocks have been replaced.”
The body has been extended in the middle.
“Ford 302 engine runs good, running gear/4 wheel drive are working. Climbs and crawls like a goat with hiking boots. Needs brake cylinder at right front. It is currently registered and street legal. Remodeling the house and have no time or money for extra toys. Body is rough and many patches made to it…but hell it’s a jeep. $950 will take it. Will want to trailer it or drive it home in granny gear. Calling would be quickest way to reach me 530-258-1798. Rick”

This is a project.
“Here is your next project.
1957 Jeep FC150. This will need a TOTAL restoration and will need to be towed.
It has the 134 Hurricane 4 cylinder and is 4 wheel drive. I was told the engine ran and it looks to be complete (and not stuck).
Needs extensive body work, Drivers side rear lug nuts have all broken off, so will need new studs to roll. (have a fork lift available to help load onto your trailer)
The frame and drive train all look like they are in good shape. I do have some extra parts that go with it like a spare dash and instrument cluster, spare heater, brake controls with master cylinder, clutch pedal assembly, a few glass pieces.
This project is not for the faint of heart, but when done, it will be a head turner! I get comments on it sitting in my shop all the time!
I need the space in my shop. I am putting it on here for a few days and if it does not sell within this time frame, I am going to pull the ad and move it back to my house and slowly work on it when I have the time. I have too many projects that take priority over this one so I would really like to see this go to someone who is going to be able to put the work into it rather than let it sit.
I do not NEED to sell it, so fairly firm on the price with only a little room to negotiate. (no offers for half of asking price).
I would be willing to consider a trade for an inverter type TIG welder with high frequency start that can weld aluminum or a large media blasting pot with deadman controls. Might consider a trade for guns.
It has the keys and a clear title.
$1000 or best REASONABLE offer. As I said, if it does not sell, I will put it in my garage at the house and let it sit until I can get the time to work on it. I am taking a loss at my asking price.
There are not many of these around anymore. Now is your chance to own a piece of Jeep history!
Email with any questions or to set up a time to take a look at it.”
