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 looks a little rough. The seller has listed it poorly, so it has been available for a while. A buyer can probably pick it up cheaply.

“1962 Willys M170 Ambulance with title. This is one of approx. 1500 examples ever produced, they are VERY rare. THE SOFT TOP SHOWN IN PICTURES IS NOT INCLUDED.
This is a VERY ROUGH Project. I bought thinking I’d make a rat rod Jeep, but too many other projects so it’s time to move on. Currently it has a 4.3 engine, transmission, transfer case from Chevy S10 blazer mocked into position. I have the complete wiring harness. It has an Art Morrison 9″ rear differential housing and shafts, but no 3rd member. It has a Jeep D30 front axle sitting underneath. No steering hooked up, no other drivetrain pieces. This thing is rusty, patched together, bondo smeared all over, etc. It’s VERY ROUGH. But, on the good side, it does included CLEAR WASHINGTON STATE TITLE AND COLLECTOR VEHICLE PLATES. I have lots of other misc. parts, radiator, steering column, etc. Otherwise, what’s shown is pretty much what you get, EXCEPT SOFT TOP.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800.
This looks in good shape.

“This is a 1955 jeep willys. It has only 27.000 milage and is in a great running condition. This jeep is all original and a very nice collector ‘s item”
UPDATE: Jim noted this might be a scam. So, I went to double check the link this morning and discovered the content had completely changed, except for the email address. This one has me a little perplexed. The add originally listed the below jeep at $2900. See comments for Jim’ comment.
“I have owned this jeep for about 6 years. It is a virtual frame up restoration of a 1954 Military M170 Frontline Ambulance to great running condition. Every part examined, restored or replaced on this jeep. Engine rebuilt with less than 20 hours running time on it. Rebuilt radiator, NOS carburetor, NOS fuel pump, complete new Vintage wiring harness, NOS lights, power switch, steering linkage, new brake shoes, emergency break system, rebuilt transmission and transfer case, hubs repacked/rebuilt, New military tires, new exhaust, exhaust manifold, NOS cross over tube, water proof plug wires, accelerator peddle and linkages, cables, speedometer cable, NOS fuel tank, NOS passenger seat, etc., etc., etc.
This vehicle can be a daily driver. It tops out at about 55 mph, loves 35 mph. I rebuilt this jeep for our kids on the ranch and it had to be absolutely reliable to start and run because we left it unstarted for weeks at a time and everyone wanted to drive it when we go out there. I promise you this vehicle is in excellent running condition.”
