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 .

It runs and drives, however I can’t agree that “everything is as it should be”.
“1945 military jeep made by Ford GPW. It’s the same thing as a Willys and parts are interchangeable. The original 4 cylinder was pulled and a V6 from a 53 was installed. There is surface rust but no holes or anything bad. The jeep runs and drives great and the 4wd and everything is as it should be. Might trade but cash is preferred. $1000 731-607-1405”

“1942 GPW Jeep, like the willys Ford help build them back during the world wars. Any how this one is unquie its had a willys truck cab and bed mated to it and is powered by a chevy 283 V8. Jeep runs and starts fine, we have been using it on the farm/ranch for the last 5 years and it belong to a friend of are that has had it over 40 yrs and did all these mods to it about 35 yrs ago so this thing has been running for sometime being a hunting rig in Colorado and Texas. I have the title to the Jeep, its not street legal i have only driven it up to about 45 mph on a gravel road before but manily for off road and trail use only. Selling it manily for the reason my dad is getting older and having a hard time getting in and out of it so side by sides have replaced it. Everything works for the most part, it doesnt have very good brakes it will slow down and stop but not great, the seat needs to be recoved and the exhaust pipe has some holes in it from exhaust leaks but no biggie. all 6 kc lights work, 4×4 works, starts and runs fine carb was rebuilt 3 yrs ago, new starter and alternator, battery, hitches front and rear, 2k lb winch on the front.”
