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 .
This has been altered a bit.

(11/12/2011) It looks nice enough, though not 100% original.
“Built in 1942 by the Willys-Overland Company for the United States Military, this magnificent truly original Willys MB ‘Jeep’ is a piece of living history. By the end of WWII, Willys had made 362,841 ‘Jeeps,’ Ford 281,448, and Bantam 2,675. These ‘Jeeps’ were manufactured at a cost of $738.74 per unit. Willys is generally accepted as the best of the three manufacturers. The standard specifications for the vast majority of these vehicles included a 3-speed manual transmission (floor mounted gearshift with an un-synchronized 1st gear), mated to a front mounted 134.2 cu in (2.2L) 8 valve Straight Four Cylinder engine (which made 54-hp at 4000 rpm, 95 ft.-lbs. torque at 2000 rpm, a 6.48:1 compression ratio, good for 45.4 lb/hp). A 15 gal fuel tank, six-volt electrical system, and pintle tow-hook were also standard fare. This vehicle is in amazing true and authentic condition. Its canvas top and canvas seats are in great shape, as are its two canvas doors, military styled tires (another has been ordered by the owner for the front spare), the flat Army Green military paint and white markings. It even comes with two helmets, authentic period goggles, a reprinted army owners manual, a book including documented history, photos, a good amount of its service history, and even a 1:18 scale die-cast model. This Jeep is a must see for anyone who is a Jeep collector, a fan of military vehicles, or just anyone who would like to own a living piece of American, World, and Vehicle History. This Jeep is all of that and more. You can’t look at it and not be captivated by it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
