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 $1500.
Apparently needs a little work.
“Military M38A1, (looks like CJ5) has newer V6 engine, runs good, has 1/2 metal top and doors. Body is fair, will run and drive but it needs work to be road worthy. Does have new tie rods and shocks on it.”
UPDATE: Was $5800. Likely Sold.
Both run.

It doesn’t run, but appears solid.
“1955 Willys $3,000 OBO
All of the original drive train is intact. The tub is in decent shape for the age with all the glass. Some one in the past put a body on it but according to the serial number it was not manufactured with one. The interior has some seats but thats about it. I put a battery in it and the fuel pump comes on but I cant figure out how to get the engine to turn over. Some one with a bit more mechanical know how can get it going without much work. It was last registered in 2006 and I assume that was the last time it ran. You will need a trailer to get it home so be prepared.
It will make a great trail rig or use it for parts.
I have the title and need to get it out of the garage (the wife is in full revolt about not parking in the garage)
Call or text any time.”
