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 .
I’ve got a buyer looking for a 1960-1965 Truck in excellent condition. If you have a nice truck that needs no work, let me (Dave) know at d@ewillys.com.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7200.
This appears to be a solid build.
“1942 Jeep Willys American Classic. This Jeep is a great classic. It is a manual 3 speed transmission with a V4. Military green exterior paint with black interior. Also has original transfer case. Must see this classic!”
Dave spotted this unit. He says the guy has been trying to sell it for a couple years. Dave doesn’t have the seller’s name nor number at the moment, but was able to get some pictures of it.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
This appears to have a DJ body.
“Jeep for sale, everyting is factory except for the motor. It has 302 V-8 with a t90 tranny (I think) with the original axles under it that have been re-done (seals replaced, checked the ‘footprint’ of the gears ect…). It needs a new radiator. This is a parts truck or a restoration.”
This looks solid.

I am not in a bind and don’t have to sell.
The wife and I don’t use anymore and I have moved on to other projects.”
UPDATE: The tires and rims have been updated, giving it more of a hot rod look.
(09/15/2012) This looks solid.

2012 was a great year for both me, personally, and for eWillys, too. Obviously, getting married was a pretty big deal as was finishing my book, Finding Virginia. In addition, eWillys reached several milestones in terms of page visitation (600,000 this December and 12 million overall) and posts (now over 20,000).
For 2013, Ann and I have two trips planned, one down to Arizona for the FC Roundup in March and a second trip to the East Coast in May/June for the 2013 Midwest Willys Reunion in May (where I am scheduled to do a presentation) and The Bantam Fesitval in June. More details to follow over the next couple months.
And, for 2014, we hope to do a trip to Europe during the summer to re-trace my grandfather’s trip through europe in 1924 (90th anniversary) and meet a variety of supporters from there who continue to visit daily and add to our knowledge base. That will mean eWillys will need to be even more successful in 2013, which means a lot of work for me!
Happy New Year Everyone!
Roberto spotted this blog post about a movie short created early in their careers by Oscar winning Frederico Fellini and Kremos (Niso Ramponi) called “Hello Jeep!”. There are a variety of wonderful images and plenty of information. Nice find Roberto!
