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: Was listed at $1000.
If the body is reasonable, this might be worth a look.

Started at age 14, Nate completed his beautiful build this past Easter. There are a variety of young mechanics working on builds who ping me with questions and comments, so I think it will be a great motivation to them that Nate completed his build. He sets a good example of what hard work can achieve no matter the age. Congrats Nate!
Nate writes, “I’ve been reading ewillys for about 1 1/2 to 2 years now …. I fell in love with this jeep when my dad brought it home when I was 8. It was the first first vehicle I learned to drive. I started restoring it when I was 14 in Sept. 2007 (now 17) and the actual jeep was finished on Easter Sunday this past April, 2010. I got the jeep the way I like it last week with the original style soft top. It was a father-son (mostly son) project. I sandblasted the whole frame, and probably spent a week block sanding the body. We made a few modifications: 10” drums, 12v electrical system, overdrive and Cutlas hubs. I got the top from New Life Canvas. I didn’t skimp on anything. I put stainless steel brake lines in, a new harness from Walcks and a lot of original parts from my donor jeeps.. The jeep sports a reproduction body tub (which I made look original), fenders and hood.”
Here’s an image of the pre-restored Jeep:

UPDATE:**Status Unknown** Was $3200
(09/15/2013) I like this old modded flattie. It even has a rare 198 Buick V6. The old top is great, too. Includes an overdrive.

“This Willys was just recently saved and is ready to be restored. It ran when it was parked last year. Includes engine and complete drive train. Engine turns freely and is not locked up. Oil level is still good. It is missing the starter and air cleaner. Floor board is there but rusting out pretty good. Drive shaft to rear is there but broke and will need repair. Will need some seats, a previous owner just threw some seats in it at some point just to be able to use it. Flip down windshield is solid. 2 piece windshield glass cracked. Body of course rusting but is still solid. Has original rims, will need a few tires. She’s rough right now but has great potential! No title. Vin plate reads CJ-3A 57720. From what I’ve seen this makes it a 1950. Take care! Email or TEXT ONLY to nine3one three34 sevenone9eight.
Possibly will trade, pretty much cars or trucks only. I’m a gearhead. 900.00 OBO”

Even in Bellevue that’s a lot of money for a jeep.
