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.

My initial thoughts on this thing was that it pretty worked over but after revisiting it, it doesn’t look that bad. Matching wheels/tires, seats, steering wheel and front bumper would go a long way if of course it could be convinced to run. Have the frame horns been cut?
Wonder what the floor pans look like.
What do you guys think overall?
I would want to see the state of the floors and see whether the tranny/tc shift.
The front frame horns look more like a 3A rather than a 2A. This could mean it is a very late 2A (after serial number 215649 if I’m not mistaken).
There certainly seems to be parts value based on the photos, but the in-person inspection is necessary for sure to determine rust.
Compared to the rusted crap we see in Ohio for this money, it does not look bad to me, Has a hy lo pump too!
