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 .

(08/21/2014) “Have a 1948 for sale, she is very pretty and has original 4cyl engine. I could rattle on but the pics should be the best way to advertise her. Have a soft top as well. Fact is I would really like the Willys to find a good home, just don’t have garage space for her. Don’t have room to keep this anymore, price is negotiable. Any questions drop me an email.”

“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2a. Mostly stock condition. Runs great! Engine, transmission, and powertrain are all very strong. Needs wiring work for the lights.

UPDATE: Here’s a third press photo of this family camping and picnicking. Below it is an advertisement based on the photo. This was part of the press release photo packet.

The postwar Jeep especially adapted for peacetime work, combines the four basic functions of tractor, light truck, mobile power unit and passenger conveyance. Photo shows the new Jeep. just unveiled to public by Willys-Overland.”
