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 .

A GPW with some modifications.
“bought this Jeep in a rust pile at the Creston auction in 2005. It has had a complete ground up rebuild. NO BONDO! All rust was cut out and replaced with steel! Only 1000 miles since. This Jeep most likely came off of the Malmstrom AFB and was an early 50s off-roader. When I got it, it had an “F-head” Jeep Hurricane motor and had been converted to Saginaw power steering. I wanted to retain both the military and off-road histories. So… It still has the “F-head” motor and P/S plus I converted it to 12V and added a full range overdrive making it capable of 60-65 MPH at 2000 RPMs and a real pleasure to drive. I tracked down the correct hood numbers and returned it to the original OD Green paint. Between the seats sits a 50mm ammo can that houses 2 10″ subwoofers, tweeters and an Alpine amp that can be connected to your iPod, smart phone, ect (sweet, sweet sound) plus a 12V power point. Must been seen to be appreciated – $6000 or Will consider partial or full trade for a camp trailer/5th wheel trailer”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,500

(12/13/2013) This is a mix of parts, but looks nice.
“This is actually a 1942 Ford GPW Jeep with a MB Willys Slat Grill and engine. Strangely enough, the original owner saw the slat grill and had it titled as a Willys, but the frame serial number is a `42 Ford. It has many “F” Script parts. I have intended to change the grill out and re-title it a Ford, but have been procrastinating on that. I bought it in 2008 and converted it to 12volt. It still needs some work, but it is a good reenacting and parade jeep, which is what I intended its use to be. Several extra parts to go with it including: new rear seat cushions, extra Jerry Can, Garand Rifle Scabbard, OD Tarp, Canvas Windshield Cover, Gussets, Manuals, etc. See the attached photos. I am asking $9,500 OBO.”
