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 .
A reader shared a rare look at a Willys Electric Light Plant, including the sleeves during cranking. In the pic below, the Willys Electric Light Plant is on the left and a rare Alamo (electric light plant?) is on the right.
Here is a video of the sleeve functioning:

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1850.
For new FC windshields, Fesler USA is offering real glass windshields and has them in stock for $499. Fesler has also offered to provide eWillys readers with a discount code (not setup yet, but I suspect they will give it to you if you call them and mention you saw it here .. unclear how much the discount will be at this time). The company plans to formally advertise on eWillys starting sometime in November.
“Guessing on year. No paperwork, I will write you a BOS. I can also direct you to a legit Sacramento area title service.
Obviously needs all glass (except wind wings, which I guess were too small a target). Windshields are available for $400 (+200 shipping=$600) according to the internet. The rest is flat glass.
You can see what is not here, I have no spares.
I’ve included pics of all the rust areas. Surface rust on cab top, rain gutters are nice.
Mechanically seems complete, engine turns by hand!
I’ll entertain near offers, and even listen to trade proposals (no guns or boats please)”
Listed as a 1946, the serial # 175762 puts it as 1948 model. Thanks to Mike for sharing.

Over the past few days Randy and Carson made good time, yet saw plenty. From Yosemite, they traveled southeast until camping somewhere in Nevada.
The next morning, they drove to Las Vegas, Nevada, where they hit the Vegas strip. At some point, Carson broke a fan belt, so they got to spend more time than planned in Vegas.
Back on the road, they drove to Utah. There, they met up with Jake White and others to take the offroad trip to Toquerville Falls, Utah.
This model just sold on eBay for $108.51. At six inches long, it’s a good side. I was going to bid on this, and even set my alarm, but got too busy rendering 15lbs of pork fat into lard (we just had our pig butchered), so when my alarm went off to go to eBay, I turned it off, got distracted and forgot. Sigh. This is a cool one.
This is a rare one. It appears in reasonable shape, especially for the price. Someone might have added duallies to the rear.

“This is one of the last of it’s kind in really good condition. It has a flat head six cylinder engine that I was converting fro six to twelve volt. I was not able to finish because of disability. It would be nice to have someone finish this project. This ran when parked.”
Looks like a fun sand jeep.
