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 .

(09/26/2013) It looks like a fair price. I’m wondering if there’s been a little work on the passenger side near the drain hole.

An Idaho summer trip with high school friends and their families. The Green CJ5 belongs to my sons’ friend Drew, he built this Jeep himself and is running an AMC 304 with a Dana 44-30 combo and ARB air lockers.
Longtime readers will remember the 2011 post about Randy and his boys’ jeeps. Randy shared how the three of them turned basketcase jeeps into viable, modified vehicles. They continue to drive and jeep them in Idaho. Since we last check in with them, they’ve made some updates to their jeeps. Randy describes the changes below (thanks for taking the time to write this up Randy!):

In the winter of 2012 Dusty and I swapped in most of the running gear that was originally installed in his Jeep when we built it in 2004. We Installed the Buick 231, radiator, transmission, exhaust and drivelines. I did a Saginaw power steering upgrade and installed disc brakes on the front axle as well. The springs were re-arched and Bilstein shocks were installed. In order to make room for bigger tires I opened up the back fenders about 3 inches behind the tires and moved the rearend back 1 ½ inches. The fender trimming is not noticeable unless there is a stock Jeep around to compare it to. Last spring I purchased a new set of 37 x 13.5 x 15 Super Swamper Truxus MT radial tires and mounted them on the 15 x 10 Mickey Thompson aluminum wheels that were originally on Devon’s Jeep. Those tires made an unbelievable difference when running in the snow. I usually air down to about 3.5 to 4.5 pounds of air pressure and didn’t have any trouble losing tires off the bead on our snow runs.
This past year I installed a set of suspension bucket seats made by Corbeau that are designed for use in a side-by-side such as a Yamaha Rhino. They have the same dimensions as the Jeep seats that Corbeau makes but the bottom of the seats are shorter which makes it easier to get in and out of the Jeep. I also notched the front of my rear inner fenders and moved the front seats back about 2 inches. Seat heaters were installed in the new seats as well. It is a lot more comfortable to drive now.
Here are some recent pics Charles found:

This runs and drives. Most interesting is the rare hardtop. Anyone recognize that?
“Hi I’m selling a 1966 Willys Jeep by the Kaiser Jeep corp. It has 87,115 original miles, originally a barn find stored for over 15 years with the same tires when parked. It is still the original arena yellow but could use a paint job. Has some what of a rare Buick 225/3.7L V6 only offered from ’66 to ’71, it is known to be a very dauntless motor and it is.
T-90 4 speed transmission
Dana 18 transfer case
Dana 27 front end
And the famous Dana 44 rear end
The jeep runs and drives great considering it didn’t come out with power steering and the 4wd works great also. Has the lock in/lock out hubs. It does have a little rust behind the front tires but not a rust bucket. It would be a great hunting/farm rig or awesome to restore. It does have a bikini and a hard top. The only problem I know that it has is it will pop out of first gear I was told it’s a cheap fix though.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9800.
Looks in good shape.
