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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Can’t tell much from the pic.

“This original flatfender Jeep is ready for immediate off-road use or perfect for a restoration project. The engine (F134, 4-cylinder) has been rebuilt and runs well. Almost everything on it is in working order. Drivetrain (Engine, transmission, transfer case, axles, etc) is completely original and all numbers match. Transmission and transfer case are fully functional. Off-road tires (31 x 10.50) are in great condition.
This Willys came with the optional super-low gearing in the differentials (5.38 : 1). So it’s got plenty of torque to climb up and over all sorts of stuff. It comes with a service manual, bikini top, and a few other accessories. For more details or questions, call Mike at 619-459-5929.”

I’m happy to report dad has some kind of blood infection that a couple antibiotic doses seem to have solved. It’s amazing how big a difference that made, turning him from a near zombie into his normal self. So, another crisis averted. Onto the next one.
Ask and ye shall receive (another crisis that is) . . . for as I rejoiced over dad’s sudden turnaround this afternoon, I checked ewillys on my phone in the hospital room only to discover my webhost has once again suspended my account (3rd time in a year) for a database spike.
So, if you wandered over to the site and found the subtle “ACCOUNT SUSPENDED NOTICE”, that’s why it was there for about 5 hours today. And when they suspend it, they suspend it all. Everything gets turned off, including my email and my access to fix any problems.
The support folks at my webhost have convinced themselves that I understand some of the esoteric details of mysql programming, despite my emails to the contrary. Over the past few hours, emails have been exchanged in which I indicated that I could neither replicate the problem nor understand exactly what the problem was. Their response is ‘you have 24 hours to fix the problem’.
I’ve concluded it is kind of like working with the Idaho DMV (see post below if you don’t understand that reference) . . .
UPDATES will start about 9:00ish pm PST.
BTW, if you wander by the site this weekend and it is down again, it’s because I’m moving the site to a new webhost.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was no price.
(04/06/09) This might be it good shape. The rims/hubcaps aren’t easy to find.
“I have a 1948 Willy’s jeep. It has all the original metal body parts and there is no dents or rust. The body is in great shape, interior is also in very good condition, good motor and transmission and transfer case.”
