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 .

The seller listes these as being 4.5×5″, but they look like 5.5×5 lug pattern to me.

My boys are in Seattle for the next week, so for me Christmas has finally arrived! However, this means postings will be erratic for the next week. I will continue to check emails.
Gary shared a link to an off road adventure from a couple years ago by some of the folks at Expedition Portal. It doesn’t involve old jeeps, but we can all relate to the unexpected break down. The photos are really nice, too.

From the The SOS Report. The Full Story.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $550
“I have for sale a 1950s Willys L134 Motor. The motor was mounted to a military generator. This motor is also equipped with water fording waterproofing equipment including a waterproof distributor and oil bath air cleaner specifically designed to support the air ventilation for fording as was seen on the MC-38 Military Willys Jeep. The generator and all parts other than what you see in the pictures was scrapped. The motor turns freely but I haven’t made any efforts yet to start it. This is the same motor used in the early flat fender Willys Jeeps with the exception that it has extra accessories that supported the generator function such as the governor – all of which are readily removed and it also has the waterproofing accessories which can be run in any environment or replaced with standard accessories. I’m selling it as is with the accessories you see attached for an asking price of $550. Please e-mail if interested.”
