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.

This old Texas hunting jeep is an unusual one for sure! It’s listed as a 1943.
“From SE Texas – Was last used for Hog Hunting. It was brought to Wisconsin for a “Body Off” restoration. Due to health, I am not able to see it thru. Great project opportunity.”
Glenn spotted this jeep for sale. It’s been parked a while.

“Been stored in the barn the last 20 years. Ran good when parked. Did a frame-off rebuild in 1985, steel body, new top, brakes and lines, shocks and a spare parts motor.”
This has a ‘woody’ feel to it. Most likely it covers the rust.

“1961 Willys Woody Wagon. Runs, new front brakes, front wheel bearings & seals. 226 Hurricane flathead 6 runs, 4 WD works great. 3 speed manual, hi-low t-case. Front floors rusted out, otherwise solid. Moving and downsizing. Hate to see it go. Clear title.”
I can appreciate the attempt to put a little artistic flair in the photos, but I could use a little less tilt and a little more detail.

“Meet Daisy! A fantastic and rare 1973 Super Jeep.
Only produced for a couple months in 1973, the Super Jeep was an appearance package created due to a lack of a supply of aluminum wheels needed to produce the Renegade models. The Super Jeep is highly recognizable by it’s outrageous Peter Max – like decal package, white steel wheels, curved chrome front bumper, two tone interior and upholstered white padded dash.
Only 300 Super Jeeps were produced, with only a few handfuls surviving today. The majority of the 300 Super Jeeps produced were made in White or Blue with a few others in more rare colors like this one in Daisy Yellow. Continue reading
Willys-Overland began publishing the Salesbuilder magazines in July of 1948 with the announcement of the Jeepster. The Salesbuilder supplanted the W-O Sales News magazine. According to a small blurb on Google (I can’t read the whole reference), the Salesbuilder was part fo the effort to push the Jeepster.
I own a couple of Salesbuilder magazines, but those are the only ones I’ve seen. Below is a series of covers that I’ve been able to document so far. I’d like to find more.
As far as I know, Salesbuilder issues were published between July of 1948 and as late as August of 1951. By early 1954 (possibly January), Kaiser Willys had shuttered the magazine format for a newspaper format (see the March 1954, volume 1, issue 2 at the bottom of this post).
