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: Still Available.

https://boise.craigslist.org/ctd/d/emmett-1951-jeep-willys/6780451198.html
“1951 Jeep Willys ( Title a 1978 ) 4×4, 4cly. engine, warn overdrive, 11″ brakes, tilt $12500.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $2500.
Travis shared these parts for sale.
“This is a complete Jeep body with a title. The body is originally from Walck’s 4 Wheel Drive. The tailgate, windshield and hood are all stamped with “WILLYS”. Everything is in great shape.
The tub, fenders, tailgate and grill will fit a CJ-2A or CJ-3A. The windshield is for a CJ-2A only. The soft top will fit a CJ-2A or MB WWII Jeep. The roll cage will fit the CJ-2A, CJ-3A and MB and the roll cage will fit inside the soft top.
The tub has been modified. It has a Tuffy glove box. The wheel wells have been cut for larger tires (will fit up to 35″ tires) and the firewall retrofitted with a Wrangler YJ hanging pedal assembly allowing the use of a hydraulic clutch and power hydraulic brakes. The steering column is from a 1966 Chevy C10 pickup with an integral turn signal switch. The glove box, hanging pedal assembly, clutch cylinder, brake cylinder and steering column all come with the tub.
I will part it out for the prices below or sell it all together for $2500 or best offer.
Please note the soft top is draped over roll cage and not mounted to the tub. This is why it looks wrinkly.
Grill – $100
Fender, Left – $140
Fender, Right $140
Hood – $240
Windshield – $260
Tub – $780
Used Tailgate – $60
New Tailgate – $220
Fuel Tank, Plastic – $80
Soft top, Bestop Tigertop – $720
Roll Cage (fits inside soft top) – $360 “
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3500.
