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 .
This looks solid, but I suspect the price will inch down.

I can’t tell much from this one pic, other than it’s got the right grille and wrong windshield.

It could just be my imagination, but that body looks like it could has more of a swoop for the passenger entrance similar to a pre-MB. This is worth a closer look.
“I have a 1941 Jeep Wheelies that runs great. I have stored it in my barn for years and used it for Deer hunting. I need to clean out the barn. I do not have a title for the Jeep.

Here’s a slatgrille that could stand to be dropped down. The body and grille appear in good condition. This might be salvageable.
