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: Still Available.
(05/23/2015) Has not started in 15 years. While it is possible to restore this jeep, calling it ‘perfect to restore’ pushes the bounds of credibility.

“Hi there i have a 1948 Jeep Cj2A that i am looking to sell. Over the past few years i have had a lot of fun tinkering with this jeep and doing some off roading on the property with it. These things are just incredible in the mud and there so dang small you can fit them anywhere. This jeeps engine was converted to a 1972 ford pinto 2.0l engine and from what i have heard when these engines are running right they are very reliable and powerful for there size. The engine runs but it does seep a little oil out and it could use some tlc to be running in tip top condition.
The jeep has the original T90A 3 speed transmission which shifts through all the gears and works relatively well and the 4 wheel drive also works like a charm. There is a little rust on this jeep mostly in the floor boards and on the fenders but the body tub is mostly solid. This jeep has been so fun for me but i dont have the room or the tools to make this thing a really solid jeep and want to get a reliable daily driver car otherwise i would definitly keep it cause these things are so dang cool.It is currently not running because the starter is bad but i am going to get a new one for it very soon. ”
