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 .
TJ spotted this great looking Commando. Seller notes it needs some TLC, so I imagine it needs some power train work.

“If you are looking for a cool convertible, look no further! All Original from Michigen, with only 23,000 low miles on it after sitting in a warehouse for 27 years. The motor turns and starts, brakes need work, clutch needs work, gas tank need to be flushed and belts need replacing. It has 5 new tires, seats are in great condition, paint is original, “Burgandy” and it has a rusted area on the rear. All in all, its in really good shape. Clean title and price is firm. 55 miles out of Austin.”
A project.
