About eWillys
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.
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 .

“1946 Willys yes it does have rust , mostly the front floors but someone had done a good repair . very usable .the bad is the hood the old man that had it laid a piece of tarp across the hood that help trap moisture and caused a rust problem . will need replaced if U restore it. It does run by adding gas straight to the carb. Engine sounds good no knocks .I am not pulling in fuel out of the tank felt the tank would need to be cleaned before any fuel was added .The old jeep rolls free ( brakes are not locked ) know issues the gas tank will need cleaned .
The carb will need rebuilt , i’m sure the brakes will need to be addressed . the tires are old but do hold air .Its 72 years old and I Am selling as a project .Its a little over my head and I have some physical limitations . But with a little work mainly what I had mentioned prior it could be on the road and the Patina is Awesome .Bring a trailer or dolly it is not drivable due to carb leaking & tank needing cleaned”

“Runs well. Starts easily. We use it for around town trips in the summer.
I have owned this jeep for 48 years. We originally found it sitting in the grass behind the Texaco station in Augusta, Mt.
We have restored it numerous times over the decades. (Added a few photos of one of the restorations.) I drove it to high school in the mid 1970’s. My older sister drove it to high school before that. Our son drove it to Bozeman high in the early 2000s.
All mechanical parts work well including motor, transmission and transfer case, differentials, locking front hubs etc. It leaks a little oil like all cars from the 40’s. Oil pressure, temp and voltage gauges work. Fuel and odometer / speedometer don’t.
We have procured most parts from Willy’s Overland in Toledo, OH. Good supplier of quality parts and technical advice.
Comes with a tight fitting black soft top with nice doors that shut well.
We love this Jeep but now are gone much of the summers and are simply not using it nearly as much as we used to. Time for it to go to a new home.”
