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: **SOLD** Was $1200.
This needs more than “finishing touches” it needs plenty of rust repair. The good new is that it runs.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5900
(12/07/2017) The body looks a little rough.
“Unmolested Survivor.
All Original with aftermarket cab that is as old as the jeep.
Would be a small job to restore. Just needs paint really but I like the current patina even better so I won’t paint it if I keep it.
Set up by a previous owner as a pig hunting jeep. Has gun racks, handle bar for rider in back etc.
Tow bar works very well at freeway speeds. Starts quicker than my modern cars. Original 6 volt wiring. Running an 8 v battery which is one of the reasons it starts so easy. Original heater works great. Drives nice around town and legal for the freeway but it is slow. The dash info plate shows it will go 60 in 3rd gear high range ( and it will ) but it likes 50 mph a lot better. E brake not hooked up but I have it. Both fuel gauges read 1/2 when the tanks are full which I’m told can be fixed by adjusting the voltage. Everything else works. Locking front hubs, new military tires. It will practically climb a tree in low range 4×4. Gets tons of looks. Current reg, clean title in my name. Really fun jeep. I’m not hot to sell her but I have too many toys and my daughter is getting married so its time to let someone else have some fun. $5,900 obo CASH only – local pick up only.”
