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 .

“Matching set of Willys duel rear wheel axles (posi trac) off of Factory rack body Willys F.C. 170. This is probably the last set of these that you will find. I also have many other Willys parts for wagons, pickups, jeepsters, J-Series, C.J’s, Etc. Etc”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/25/2017) I like this patina. The inside isn’t quite so nice. Wrong grille for a 48.
“jeep truck, great patina, small V-8, bill of sale only”

We had a good day of work on Patterson today. First up, we confirmed that all the lights, blinkers, and even the hazards work. The brake lights don’t work yet, but that’s related to the master cylinder. I’ve ordered a dual master cylinder system from R&P, which ought to solve the brake issues.
The last electronic issue to debug is the heater motor. That’s on deck for tomorrow morning.
We took a look a closer look at Patterson’s engine and concluded it needs a full rebuild. There are multiple areas of pitting on the piston walls. Examples:
Wall of piston #4. Several instances of pitting.
Pitting on #2
So, we turned our attention to Rusty’s engine, one that is marked as a rebuild. Ann tackled the cleaning of it. It was supposed to be a “good enough” job, which she surpassed.
Casey shared a report over email on the 2017 Rally last week. This was the eighth year and, once again, was a big success. There’s even talk of expanding it a few days.
Over fifty people from fourteen states in twenty-three vehicles attended this year’s event . Twenty vehicles hit the trails, with five break downs.
They’ve already scheduled next year’s event for May 18-20, 2018. Once again, it will be held at the Red Cliff Lodge, a beautiful location. Learn more at the Willys Rally site.
Has a little damage on the right front, but otherwise looks good.
