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 .
Anyone know the history of this unusual key chain fob?

It’s rough!
“HERES A OLD MILITARY JEEP, THATS BEEN MY DADS DEER HUNTING TRANSPORTATION FOR THE LAST 20+ YEARS. ITS BEEN STORED EVERY YEAR AND THEN FIRED UP JUST BEFORE DEER SEASON, AND USED THRU OUT THE SEASON, THEN BACK INTO STORAGE.
IT HAS NOT BEEN FIRED UP THIS YEAR, BUT IT WILL RUN NO PROBLEM WITH A GOOD 6 VOLT BATTERY AND SOME GAS.
AS YOU CAN SEE IT HAS A FEW MODIFICATIONS, LIKE EXTRA HANDLES TO GRIP TO ASSIST AN ELDER PERSON IN AND OUT, HE ALSO HAD A 2 STEP STOOL THAT WAS ON A ROPE SO HE COULD GET IN AND THEN PULL THE STOOL UP AND SIT IT IN THE BACK. THE SEAT S HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH A NICE WIDE BENCH SEAT.
THE TIRES AND WHEELS ARE NEWER, THE OLD ONES WERE ROTTEN AND WERE REPLACED WITH REAL MILITARY WHEELS AND TIRES SOME TIME AGO. STILL IN GREAT SHAPE.
THERE ARE CHAINS ON THE BACK TIRES, THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WORKS. SEE THE PICTURES……THE 5 GAL GAS CAN IN THE BACK IS THE GAS TANK. MOST OF THE FRONT FLOORS HAVE BEEN RECLAD WITH TIN.
THE BODY IS IN SOLID CONDITION, WITH PLENTY OF PATINA.”

(09/27/2012) I kind of like this purpose built jeep.
“This is a 56 willys cj5 that was used to work on oil field pipelines. the old jeep has a heavy steel bed and a war surplus braden winch that works and is worth good money to someone restoring a military vehicle. tires are good. the engine runs perfect. i put a new master cylinder on it. i had planned to use it at the deer lease as a work rig but never got around to it. has brand new gas tank also that has not been installed. asking 1950.00 cash.”
