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: Price dropped to $7000

Runs, drives and stops.
“What we have here is a 1952 Willys Jeep, before Jeep made em…
It has a flat head that runs well, it stops well, lights all work and it is a HOOT to drive…. All the gears work, choke, high idle, wipers, and yeah, they are individual wipers!! Windsheild folds down… I dunno what else to say…. The tires and wheels look new.. Gas tank has been boiled out, it was super clean.
Seats are not original and I made the frames to fit, using original holes..
She’s ready to enjoy as is… She leaks a few different fluids.. Like most 50 plus year old cars… I do not think the engine has been messed with.. but who knows.. Speedo does not work, but gas gauge does.. I have never put it in 4×4. Know nothing about it.. but has warn hubs?? “
Maybe there’s value?

(06/13/2014) Looks solid. The trailer and top could use a little de-greening.

(07/03/2014) This looks like a good price.
“Willys Jeep for sale, runs, original motor, original tranny, not original seats, original rollbar, windshield and frame in great shape, bought 4 wheels for it, crappy tires on right now. This is a somewhat a project vehicle, but with some new tires and a small amount of work would be absolutely fine for 4 wheeling and hunting. I could part this out for much more than 2500.00 but would like to see the whole jeep go. Light rust, previous owner had carpet in it but I ripped it all out.”
UPDATE: Price now $6200.
(07/10/2014) Looks in good shape.
