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: Status Unknown Was $2500.
(03/24/2015) Looks like a great price.

(04/20/2015) “1965 Buick 225 V6 engine; full tune up Aug. 2013
12V with new single wire alternator Aug. 2013
Carb rebuilt (sub out and returned for install) Aug 2013 due to accelerate pump issue. The float tends to sticks with sharp left turns. The manufacturer specs for the carb float just don’t work. I had resolved before rebuild and can do again.
4 speed T90 transmission (1st is a granny) new case oil. Entire driveline is good.
Transfer case with Rhino PTO drives front Rhino hydraulic winch; 538s differentials — all new oils.
New park brake drum shoes (not installed as I wanted to ensure leaking stopped). Can re-install or provided pics/manual before my busy work season begins.
31 tires w/15″ wheels with excellent tread; digs in great. sidewalls solid.
Full canvas top (tan) and doors — kept the rain out just fine last winter.
Tow bar with swiveling, pintle hook. Must be rated 30k lbs (guessing). Way over sized for the jeep weight.
Swing gas can and spare tire rack; spare and 2 cans included. Currently gate is off as PO welded tailgate and I broke weld set up to operate the gate.
Body is in good shape for a 65 yr old. Tool box has some rust out. Otherwise fairly clean of rust issues.
Brakes — probably need adjustment. I never looked at the shoes as the tires and gearing always slowed the jeep just fine.
PO welded windshield frame as one unit, but with parts and work it can be restored to tilt open. Vac wiper works fine.
Horn is from a 1947 CJ2A, so solid sound for the purist.
Jeep is kept in garage.”
