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: See comments looks like a scam. Thanks to Barry for his work on this.
Does a seller really mean a finders fee of half the jeep? I’m confused.
“2 thought to be 1942 Ford Jeeps, 1900 each , finders fee of 1000,”

Terrible pictures and ad. Why mention anything about a finders fee? A lot of cj in there too
C from Minn, I called the person and he’s trying to sell someone else’s property. However, when I got to the $1,000.00 finder’s fee (you find someone to buy them then I’ll pay you $1,000.00) he suddenly said he had terrible phone reception and would call me back at a latter date. In other words, SCAM! This how they start out, but when you start going into detail on how and when and why on the fee they shut down the conversation.
Had my friend call this person (seller) and he has already changed his story and now says the fee is for him if he sells them and wanted to get his number for a latter date when he puts up better photos.
Thanks for your work on this Barry. I just got into Boise. I’ve updated the post.

No problems, my friend and I are still waiting on the return call. Oh well! Hope you had a good trip. Very interesting articles today. Had some good laughs at peoples comments. Things that make you go hmmm…
I have the updated images if anybody is interested..
clapped out cobbled together scrap heaps… whoever he’s selling for..
I insisted to go with him to the location an hour outside of Syracuse with my trailer… end of conversation
Were the photos anything like the ones in the dark photos. You can send them to me and Dave. Thanks I haven’t heard back from him.
