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** to an eWillys reader (thanks to this post).
This is a mix of CJ-2A and M-38 parts. The auction is Saturday the 10th.
“We are selling this nice jeep at an estate auction on Saturday the 10th. It will be held at the estate in Fountain Hills and I was told by the family that it was running but there was a fuel problem and that’s why the gas tank is out of it. Looks like all the parts are there, the seats are out but there and the fuel tank is there and some new parts. Over all the jeep seems to be in great shape.
it is sold as is but we can tell you all we know about it. The owner has died and the family are the ones selling off the estate..Thanks”
