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 .
It’s a project, but there’s value here.

“Too many toys and not enough time. Up for sale is my 1947 Willys Jeep with a 1975 Buick V6 engine. This Jeep has been in the family for over 50 years and has been stored in a garage or shop for much of its existance. The brakes and seals have been reconditioned recently. It has a new battery (converted to 12 Vots when V-6 engine was installed) and starts and runs well. It comes with an electric wench and a detachable tow bar.
Sorry, no warranty on a 65 year old Jeep.
In addition to the pictures below, I’m including a link to a video of the Jeep taken in the last two weeks.

Yesterday Ann and I put down the power tools to take a quick trip to the Hiram Chittenden Locks in Seattle. I needed to scope out Discovery Park and the Locks for the upcoming book. Here are a few pics from the Locks.
Ann spotted this crazy Lego contraption. When I was a kid, I was excited to make a rolling vehicle. My how building with Legos has changed!
