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 .

Steve’s got a variety of unused bearings that came with a wagon he bought. He has no use for them. He’d rather give them away to eWillys readers than recycle them. If you are interested, contact Steve at owenwalk@comcast.net.

The March 1956 Issue of Willys News shared this article about special equipment.
Tim must have a wonderful wife. The pair of them spent their anniversary in Hawaii driving around in a jeep and even dropped by a military show. Now that’s love 🙂
Time wrote, “For our 25th wedding anniversary we went to Oahu, Hawaii. Here are some photos of the trip and of course Jeeps. We rented a Jeep and we got this four door wrangler unlimited sport, -white. We took the roof top off and drove all over the island. It was fun to drive,and we got 18 mpg that week with gas at $2.50 /gal. Only complaint is that that wrangler really needed new brakes. The photo of us and wrangler at Kaena point, that’s as far as the road went west.
After the road washed out that area was turned into a hiking trail so now cannot drive a loop around the island. We visited the USS Missouri on living history day in recognition of 72d anniversary of its launch. Here we found a WWII Jeep on display along with a Dodge WC 51 and we met members of the Hawaii MVPA. We also met GEN MacArthur and toured the ship. We wanted to drive from Waianae up the Kolekole pass to Schofield barracks but the road was closed to traffic and has been for some time. The black and white photo was in the USO stars in Honolulu during WWII, not sure what vehicle i”
UPDATE: This was listed last March on eBay. It’s back.
This battery powered jeep was built by J. F. Scott of Seattle. It weighed 100lbs and can reach 10mph. Based on all the kids, it doubles as a personnel carrier, too!

Former Idaho cowboy and restaurant owner Fred “Fritz” or “Snuffy” Rowland (he was known by both nicknames) moved from Idaho to Beatty, Nevada, late in life to try his hand at prospecting. Fritz found uranium and gold, but nothing amounting to a big strike. His story was shared in the July/Aug Westerner Magazine in an article titled “Death Valley Gold Digs.”
The Victoria Advocate featured this story in the December 12, 1956, issue of the Victoria Advocate. Just below the article was an ad for the FC-150.
