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 .
Craig shared this project. There could be some value here.

“This is a project Jeepster. Make it into a hot rod, Rat rod or Restore it, you chose. Has rear seat cushions, no front seats. Front floor and transmission tunnel needs to be replaced/repaired. Dash has been modified but I have one to replace the instrument cluster area. Grill has not been modified and in excellent condition. Hood and front window frame in good condition. Side window frames. No hood spear. Over all the body is in good condition for a 69 year old car. Have all body trim but the arrows connecting the window trim with the body trim.
This could be a good price.

“Classic Willys Jeepster. This Jeep is produced by Willys Overland Motors. It has the original flathead 4 cylinder with overdrive and has the three-on-the-tree. It starts and runs great! The body/paint are in excellent condition. About the only thing in need of repair are the seats and the convertible top. Only about 10,000 of these cars were ever built and it is a great find.”
