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 .

UPDATEIII: Now on ebay http://www.ewillys.com/?p=53328
UPDATE II: You can view larger pics here: http://jpegbay.com/gallery/000807963-.html of this fake ad. The seller will only take payment via Google Checkout because he is in such a hurry. Paul points out something I missed — this has an 8″ lift … or not! Thanks to John for detective work on this one.
UPDATED: John alerted me that this GPW is also listed for sale in Chicago. Since neither ad mentions the jeep being in either city, be on a scam watch just to be safe.
This could be a reasonable price. Appears in good shape. The hood blocks are in a strange location.
