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 .
Seems like there’s some value here.

UPDATE: Status unknown. Was listed as ‘Make Offer’
The seller lists this in Chicago, but it appears to be located in the UP.
“Rusty and need of rescue!

I also have a running 1943.
Email for additional pictures and to inquire. Please include email address and I will reply with a phone number so you can talk to “Jim”.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
It runs.
“This Jeep has been in the family for a long time (since 1974) and has been used primarily at a ranch in south Texas as a hunting vehicle.
The engine runs good and to our knowledge the engine is in good shape. It does need some work and time put into it, so we are selling it as a project. We don’t have a use for it anymore, but it would make a great project for someone that has the time to fix it up.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
Seller is parting it out, but will take $500 for everything. Looks like there’s value here.
“Parting out or will sell all together. Motor is toast. Good axles, tranny and transfer case. Good rims and tires. 32/11.50 15. Frame is bent body is rusty. Will take 500 for everything or make offer on parts. Do have the rest of the body parts.”
Fiberglass bodies still available.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
“I bought this rig about 1-1/2 ago for the fiberglass body for another project. It did not have the motor or transmission at that time. It has a Ford 5.0 HO Roller Cam motor with GT-40 Heads and ford motorsport E303 Cam shaft, Edelbrock performer intake and edelbrock 625 cfm CARB and Street rod drop Headers. Has 120amp alt, small high torque starter. The transmission is a C-4 transmission has been gone thru by Transaction transmission in Forest Grove.
It is a 2 wheel drive, has front solid axle and updated steering “old school” has a Camaro 10 posi rear end. Has power vacuum assist brakes.
Previous owner said curb weight was 2140 LBS with conservative 275 Horsepower =7.78lb/hp
That translates into just plain FUN.
What it needs left to do, install electric fuel pump, transmission cooler, Aluminum radiator, I have all the parts new just sitting there and ready to go.
Exhaust needs done yet.
I’m willing to split the deal if someone wants fiberglass body or engine and transmission if the offer is right. I’m scared to think the amount of money I have in this my loss your gain.”
No pics and no information.
UPDATE: Still Available
(05/17/2014) That’s quite a hood mod.
“Comes with original and extra engine and lots of parts.”
