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 .

Lots of work here, and a pretty nice custom Jeep with hardtop.
Some interesting modifications:
More photos (and a video) available — but unfortunately no interior photos. Listed as VIN: J143173
Location: The Dalles, OR 97058
See the end of this post for some hints and tips about bidding on these types of auctions.
So here we have three separate auctions, each for the same Willys Overland Service sign. The auctioneer (Vail International Incorporated) will ship (good news) and again I ask: “Where will you find another?” (Well, the auctioneer found three, but that’s besides the point)…
Location: Pasco, WA 99302
And once again, a great addition to someone’s garage…(Maybe even yours?) And you’ve got three chances with this one…
See the end of this post for some hints and tips about bidding on these types of auctions.
Couple of notes on this auction – first, what a rarity. Yes, the condition isn’t great, but where will you find another?
Second, this has a minimum opening bid of $250 (kind of a potential “gotcha” as I’ve seen other items listed with very high required opening bids–buyer beware!)
Still, I think this is a pretty cool item, and will be a great addition to someone’s garage…(maybe yours?)
Location: Jackson, MI 49201
(Note the auctioneer is willing to ship this item)
In the listing, the auctioneer has added multiple additional close up photos better detailing the condition of the sign.
See the end of this post for some hints and tips about bidding on these types of auctions.
What makes this one interesting is the hard top and the winch (and the title)…of course you need to be local for this one to be worthwhile. (Bid is currently only $205)

Two separate auctions for CJ5s (but both by the same auctioneer)…both fairly nice vehicles, and the bidding prices seem reflective of that. ’81 seems to be relatively low miles and clean. ’65 seems may be more of a cosmetic restoration. (Many more photos available for each, and the ’81 has a video as well).
Location: HEADINGLEY, MB R4H1A3
350 V8 4 spd manual. In November 2023, the transmission & transfer case was rebuilt. In June 2024, the cooling system was replaced, radiator, hoses, heater core, valve cover gaskets replaced ignition key cylinder. In October 2024, the power steering box was replaced and new block heater. New cover is included 41,907 m vin#: 1JCBM85A4BT019521

134EI 3 spd 4 cyl Hurricane. This Jeep was restored in a way that removed any rusted panels, frame is good, no apparent rust anywhere! Current owner has had it for 5 years. Motor runs very well. Top speed seems to be about 56 MPH. Dana Rear end, locking hubs, full canvas cover, winch installed, Wrangler tires never off roaded by owner and has never tried the locking hubs. Drives excellent in “normal” mode! VIN: 8305186232
Again, I find it a bit unusual to see two CJ5s from the same auctioneer. Note that prices are in Canadian dollars. However if you’re looking for a turn-key CJ5, both of these might fit the bill, and be worth an in-person inspection.

So this is a good example of where shipping and handling come into play in an auction…
Location: Goldsboro, NC 27530
Bids on this are currently $5, and for that price this is a great deal–but really only if you live in the Goldsboro area (and hoping someone on eWillys is…) But once you add in shipping and handling (you’d have to check with the auctioneers to get an estimate) this likely becomes only an “ok deal”.
Probably a good core…but let’s say handling is $10-15 (handling fees for this auctioneer run from $5 to $23…) and shipping is $20+, and you also have to pay the auctioneer’s commission…and all of a sudden you’re paying $45+ for what looks like a great auction find if you need to have it shipped.
Lesson is when using these types of auctions, shipping and handling can be much higher than expected, and those costs need to be factored in.
But all that goes away if you’re local and can simply pick this up….
