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 is a 1946 ? willys cj project Ive been putting together. The frame is from a early cj5 and has 4 inch lift springs with a locker in the rear axle. It also has cross over steering with a manual box. The frame has surface rust but is straight and very solid. The tires are 34-9.5-15 super swampers mud bogger tires on old willies rims. There is good tread left with a couple torn lugs and one tire was grooved for better traction. Body is in no way attached to the frame it is just sitting there. The front clip is sturdy with a couple dings along with the windshield frame and tailgate. The tub is very usable for off road but has had a large portion of firewall cut out to clear for a v-8 and has old patches and repairs. There is no engine however I do have transmission transfer case and drive shafts that can go with it. This would be really cool but I have way too many projects and Im getting into oval track racing. It will be quite a bit of work yet or just use for parts. ”
