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 April 1955 issue of Willys News published this photo. It’s a tour jeep truck for the Africa. It seems a little too open to me. Those lions look like they could easily leap inside.
Blaine spotted this unique kit. It transforms a kids wagon, such as a Radio Flyer, into a jeep-shaped wagon.
“XploRoller is a rugged wagon body that attaches to various wagon axles like, Radio Flyer©, Harbor Freight wagons, or go extreme and build a custom suspension system. The hood lifts up for a little storage (sweaters and snacks fit great). Start a fun project with your kid/kids and stand out from the crowd, don’t have WAGON ENVY 🙂
(THE GREEN, PURPLE, AND GRAY WAGONS ARE BUILT EXAMPLES)
This builder kit comes in raw form, prep for paint or powder coat is required. There are 10 parts to the kit.
X1 Aluminum Hood
X1 Aluminum Tailgate
X1 Aluminum Pan
X2 Aluminum Body Sides
X2 Aluminum Hood Braces
X2 Steel Axle Mounts
X1 Steel Spare Tire Mount
All body assembly hardware and side body trim is included.
Wheels, Tires, Seats, Axles NOT INCLUDED”

Original post (Mar. 6, 2014) Joe spotted these jeeps in a parking in downtown Florence, AZ. He writes, “I was driving north on the historic main street of old Florence AZ yesterday (about a 6 block drive) when on the left I saw these 4 old Willys jeeps… ALL FOR SALE! (not sure about the red Scrambler there). I have not contacted the seller to find out the story behind wanting to get rid of them.”
