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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
Craig spotted this one. It runs, but definitely has rust. I just can’t tell how much.
“1954 Willys 4×4 wagon
Inline “hurricane” 6 cylinder engine
3 speed transmission, recently added overdrive,
Truck has typical rust rot (floors, quarters, etc)
I was going to turn this into a beach buggy, but don’t have the heart.
great candidate for restoration.
Price will go up as I make repairs/restoration.
Truck gets tons of looks wherever it goes.”

Will need restoration.
“Has been in the attic of the Willy’s Jeep Dealership building (northern Kentucky) since it was taken off the front of the building for a new sign in the 1960’s. One end is attached to the building and this bullnose sign protrudes out. Sign is in very, very good condition for having been up in that corner 50+ years. Needs restored. Body is galvanized metal with about 95% of the original neon glass still present; no dents or holes in the metal can at all; bottom of can is just as good as the rest. See all photos to appreciate the rarity and good condition… This sign even still has the hanging cables still present. Transformers are inside. Measures about 6ft x 15″ deep x about 30″ high….probably weighs about 150 pounds. Local Pick up only; unboxed. We are about an hour south of Indianapolis and about 2.5hrs north of Louisville…we are close to Bloomington Indiana, a mile from Indiana Hwy 37. Seller will not ship. Call or text, …no emails answered.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
This unit fits within the cargo area of the jeep. This Mellen brochure explains more about them.
Here is a photo of the Mellen Farm Aide lift in action:
The St. Petersburg Times published this article in 1942 about the war bond drive. Purchases of bonds got the chance to ride in a jeep.
