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 jeep is my baby, the registration is up-to-date, I drive it multiple times a week. It has the original willys engine and manual transmission that came with it. It runs great, and a head turner everywhere I go. I am letting go of it because I am moving. I am selling the jeep for $17000 or OBO”

This might be a GPW rather than an MB. It appears to have the GPW crossmember, but I am not certain.
“This Military Bantam Jeep was made in 1943. Still running fine and it’s good for off road, hunting and ranching etc. Asking for $2000 or best offer.”
The front floors appear to have some patches. Needs a battery at the very least.

“Great project for the winter. This Willy’s has a straight 6 engine that I’m told was running when it was parked. I’m selling this for my mother in law as it was a future project for my late father in law. Not sure on the mileage. Have title in hand.”
I *think* this is an MB/GPW chassis with a VEC CJ-2A body.
