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 .

“Be it a civilian or military jeep they were one tough vehicle. This civilian model 1953 Willys Jeep has the Hurricane 4 cyl. engine with the 4×4 optional transmission. Refinished in a bright maroon paint with a custom vinyl black top it will look good wherever you go. Original Willys hood and tailgate are still in place. Aftermarket chrome rims and radials make for a smooth ride. Jeeps have a very special following and owning a ’53 model is really neat.

(0206/2020) Appears in good shape. Has a Sears Deluxe hardtop.
“Well preserved, all original, in great condition, Jeep willys 4cyl flathead with overdrive. All aluminum top from Sears and has never been removed.”
UPDATE: I wondered why the exhaust looked odd. Barney notes, the “tri-flanged tail pipe is for the fording tailpipe that would then go vertical up the back corner … but It should be clamped closer to the frame and not hanging down.”
Not perfect and not the ‘finest one still in existence’, but is a fairly solid example of a CJ-V35/U.

“For sale is the rarest of all military jeeps. The CJ-V35/U was built in early 1950 for the U.S. Marine Corps and only 1,000 units were built. This particular example is probably the finest one still in existence. It is totally solid and rust free. The original engine has been rebuilt and runs well. Brakes have been rebuilt and it has a new battery and a fresh tune up. They just don’t get any better than this one. All of this model had waterproof engine components and were set up for deep water fording. The waterproof starter, generator, and regulator are still functioning perfectly. I have 90% of the fording hardware to go with this jeep. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own the rarest and the best.”
UPDATE: Now on eBay. Current no reserve bid is $5900.
(01/15/2020) Looks in good shape. Has a Kelly hardtop and EasyLok hubs.

As best as I can tell, this is a project, but the pics show varying stages of progress, so I’m unsure.
