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 $25,000.
Dan spotted this wagon. If this had a more traditional stance, rather than the aggressive forward posture, it would be hard to tell it was modernized so extensively.

The DJ had been damaged, so the seller though why not do something fun.
“Would consider trades for a softail.
I am begrudgingly selling my rat rod jeep project that I’ve built over the course of a few years.
Originally a CA car (except for the last 2 years it’s been here in Key West), I bought it in the San Francisco Bay Area after someone had crashed into the rear while it was parked on the road. It barely ran, had the original straight 6 in, and was a mess.
For those of you who don’t know, the DJ-5 series is an automatic, 2wd jeep from the factory. Often used as rural mail trucks, the DJ-5 often comes right and drive. This is a left hand drive, but I suspect that someone changed it to LHD before I got it.

If the “project needs everything” then what value is here?
“I’ve been building this project off and on for the last 4 years. It needs everything. It’s chopped and stretched and sitting on air bags. It’s been set up for power steering and power brakes. The engine is just sitting there for mock up and will need rebuilt. Transmission is good. Will air up and roll. Have different seats that are already re upholstered with a military theme. This will be a badass ride for somebody that has the time to finish. I have a clear Arizona Title. Again, this project needs everything. It’s pretty much just tacked together. I’m not in a hurry to sell would would be perfectly fine if it didnt, so no lowball offers please.”
