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: **SOLD** Was $5500.
This looks like it would be an easy restoration project or would keep great just as it is. Lots of pics at the link below.
“1950 Willys Overland Model 4-73 Station Wagon.
It’s equipped with 4 wheel drive with documented Georgia registration up until 1999 (paperwork included with sale). It’s history includes being part of a private collection of 24 Willys. It was painted in August of this year a custom PPG Blue color. The new owner should buff and polish to complete the job. There’s no rust on this Southern Willys. The engine was converted to a 1965 283 Chevy V8 with 12 volt electrical (by the previous owner) including new dual exhaust system. True miles unknown (odometer shows 4131, the Title shows 58463, and not sure how many miles are on the engine). Based on the solid body and nice overall condition, it is possible that the Title is correct. Engine runs strong, with no smoke, no odd noises, and still retains its original 3 speed standard transmission and 4 wheel drive transfer case, all mechanicals in good solid working condition. This Willys is not perfect, but is a good running and driving restoration project. It has the Willys rims with brand new period correct deep lug Tires, good brakes. The following tune up items were just completed; points, plugs, rotor, plug wires, oil and oil filter and fresh valve cover gaskets. Headlights and front turn signals work correctly. For this year Willys, the rear seats fold and the rear doors split open up and down. The wood floor strips are in great condition. The following items will require work; turn signal switch replacement (I have a similiar age universal unit to go with the car), headliner is missing, rear tail lights require wiring work,(they are standard universal units), Dash guages oil pressume and ammmeter functioning, drivers window is cracked, however I have a complete door with glass which goes with the car. It will need some window weatherstripping. See photo of additional parts that go with this Willys. The present original transmission this vehicle tops out at about 55 to 60 MPH.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000
“Jeep willys. Just 10.000 $$$ OBO.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
(08/15/2011) They never built them like this!
“You are bidding on the the most amazing Willys Woodie Wagon for sale today. This Woodie is drop dead gorgeous and demands all of the attention everywhere it goes. Below is a list of items detailing the Woodie:
This is by far one of the finest street rods I have ever owned. There is no way that you could build this woody for the buy it now price of this auction.”
Roberto forwarded his latest drawing to me. I think he had a lot of fun drawing this one!
He wrote, “It´s a a cartel or poster drawn for the 18th International Meeting of Classic Military Vehicles of the Guixaró 2012, Catalonia, Spain, organized by the Classic Motor Club of the Bages, Catalonia, Spain. I call it “Where is Willys?”…Obviously, after the influence of “Where´s Wally?” art.”
Mike reports that the Albuquerque scams are back. He reports that he “responded yesterday to an ad (too good to be true) for a running flattie 1940’s jeep with pto winch for $500 located outside of ABQ., NM. (just needed a tuneup and minor radiator repair)” After he emailed the seller, the post/scam was quickly pulled. So, if you see something ridiculous coming from that area, please report it.
Thanks Mike!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
The paint job is unusual, but this looks nicely built.
