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.

“What I have here is an old antique Army Jeep. It is a Willys M 38. It has all the military data plates on the dash. It has an unusual Military hard top with the data plate on it. It is called the Artic top. Somebody converted it to a 6 cyl Chevy engine. It it runs good. 4 Wheel drive works as it should. It has no breaks. Left rear brake line is leaking. I bought this with the intensions of restoring it. But I have to many projects and not enough time. If you are reading this then it’s still for sale. Please include a phone # and the subject matter to weed out the spam.”
Jim spotted this vintage looking racer from California that’s built on an inexpensive DJ-5 chassis. Read all about it at Petrolicious:

Heading to Vietnam? You might consider a jeep adventure while you are there. John shared these Vietnam-jeep related links. I’ve yet to receive any reports about any of these trips, but they must be gaining popularity give the number of them. There are some jeeps, but mostly M-151w.
Bob needs some help in Dallas. He might have the clutch in backwards. I can neither confirm nor deny that I know this from personal experience.
“I need someone to help correct a clutch problem. I have replaced the flywheel, clutch disc., pressure plate, through out bearing and all the linkage. Clutch will not disengage. Will pay I need to get this corrected as I’m almost finished wit a complete rebuild. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD**
John’s got a Model 50 Ramsey winch that he’s interested in selling. If anyone has some advice on the value or its condition, feel free to comment.
Hello, My name is John Knowles, I live in Mont Albert, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia. I have a Ramsey model 50 PTO winch head and mounting frame. It apparently came of a damaged UN vehicle and was brought back to Aus. When I got the winch it had no cable fitted and had been heavily painted in UN white.
It has been sitting around in dry storage for many, many years, recently I was toying with the idea of putting front & rear PTO winches on my 110 Land Rover just for the hell of it so I got out the Ramsey and started to clean it up. As I cleaned it up I found it to be in very good condition but I noticed on the ID tag that it was rated at 3500lbs so I started to do some research into this model winch. From what I can gather they are quite collectable so maybe someone on this forum may know a person/collector looking for this model winch, or is it something i should list on Ebay
The ID tag is as follows
Ramsey Winch Mfg Co Tulsa Okla, Model 50, Capacity 3500, Serial Number 9317.
It also has the Bronze engage/ disengage lever.
Has potential. Engine doesn’t look original
“WWII Jeep with an original four cylinder flathead engine that runs. Has been sitting and needs some restoration, needs work before being fit for the road.’

(03/19/2015) Looks solid.
“I have a 1961 Willys CJ6 jeep for sale, clean title. I have had this jeep for over 30 years but it is time to let it go. I no longer have use for it and would like it to go to someone that will us it! It runs like a champ have had the carburetor, original PTO winch, engine rebuilt back in 2007-2009. Everything in working condition. I have documentation on all of it. ”
