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 .
Even if there is some work left, I’m seeing a lot of value here.

There’s some value, but hard to tell just how much work is done.
“Willys jeep(( no title)) with Buick 225 V6 , T190 Trans, fiberglass body,aluminum wheels,headers,6 point roll cage, Painless wiring panel, tow bar and engine (low mileage) with aluminum intake. Frame and new fiber glass body are undercoated inside and out Tub is painted “Swift red” while the front end (not pictured but in excellent shape) needs painted. I no longer have time for this project and would like to see it go to an ambitious person. The body consisting of tub, fenders, grille, hood, and windshield are well worth the asking price of the complete vehicle. 2000 Neg. Serious inquires only will consider many trades please contact via email. Thank You.”

“have a late 40’s Jeep Willys for sale. bought it 6 years or so ago running but burning oil. the body was rotted, holes every where. so i removed the body, removed the Engine assembly (engine, trans, T-case) to do a rebuild on the engine. and was going to restore it with a new body from Jc whitney .com but now a days i dont have any time to do anything with it. so my loss your gain.
it’s been sitting out under the tarp “car port” for the last 6 years has a light coating of rust, nothing to horrible. a few areas in the rear of the frame that need repair but nothing to out of hand. simple work.”
