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 has a government plate of some type. I’m guessing forest service, but maybe USCG? The seller provides so description.
Marc from South Africa continues to make some neat progress on his 1/2 Scale build. Thanks for assembling this synopsis!
Marc writes, “Let me start with where I am to as of 15 April 2014. Unfortunately all production stopped on this date. Until I have the full use of my left shoulder after some structural work carried out, hopefully the structures doc will me the go-ahead by end May.
I ended with the making up of the two panels/dash/fwd fire wall. Slightly different to the real thing here for the ease of making. In the end the upper cowl/dash assembly will look the part.
Thanks to Paul & Lyn: http://www.ewillys.com/2014/01/23/update-from-paul-on-his-stainless-flatties-progress/ for sending me additional measurements and confirming plenty of smaller details for me.
dash panel, almost complete
basic formed firewall, just out the forming blocks
I did finish up the firewall but have not taken photos yet.
To jump about a bit heres the top bow corner brackets that were made up. Claus kindly measured up on his CJ-2A for me http://www.ewillys.com/2012/04/05/builds-claus-rebuilds-a-cj-2a-in-south-africa/.
The middle brackets in the for the wheel boxes are also done…….I took photos but they have been filed some where safe, I can’t them find now.

“In case you’re wondering what happened to that cute little Jeepster Firetruck some of us have been following on eWillys, it will soon be used as a vineyard tour Jeep at the Gandona Winery in California’s Napa Valley. After two little mechanical problems on the tow vehicle extending the 1100 mile adventure by two days, I was finally successful in transporting the red Jeepster from Southern California to the Wine Country, Northeast of San Francisco.
The seller had a change of plans and had to let go of the red Jeepster. The buyer is new to the Willys experience and is really excited about his new purchase. A new steering wheel, and re-chroming the front bumper is the first order of work to spiffy-up the 65 year old chariot, re-powered with a second generation Buick 231 c.i. V6 and automatic trans.
After seeing this on eWillys, I enjoyed connecting the seller and the buyer. And I made a new Jeepster connection with the seller. He has a nice ’50 Jeepster, daily driver with a rare optional L6-148. We might just see him at the Willys America Open House on July 19, 2014.”
Charles forwarded this photo.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500
