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: Still Available.

“In good condition just needs an annual done.”
UPDATE: This 2008 post is incomplete. I will update it with the full story when I get a chance.
The 1968 issue had an article that underscores how popular jeeping had become. One event in California, the Desert Safari, organized by the Tierra Del Sol 4wd club, brought in 600 jeeps and over 2500 people. Below is the cover story’s picture.
Looks solid.

“Putting my 1951 Willy’s M38 up for sale… Runs and drives great. Obviously not 100% original. Upgrades include more powerful Ford 4 cylinder engine, rancho shocks, and bigger tires. 4×4 and high-low work great. Recently repainted. Never registered – sold with bill of sale. Delivery available.”
I’ve not felt well all Monday. We’ll try for updates on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, I hear that the Old Willys Forum is down. Here’s more information on that from Pete from the Facebook page:
“A huge Thanks to everyone for being patient while we rework the forum! We’ve been down for nearly a week now, way longer than I expected… In the last nine years, the forum has never been down for more than 24 hours.
The conversion of the forum database to the new forum software is well underway,…. Getting the image attachments and gallery reconnected is the hardest part, and takes the longest. Once we get the basic forum up and running, we will be adding all the details back into the forum (graphics, icons, avatars, new features,etc) over the coming weeks.”
Updates will resume Tuesday.
Updates resume on Wednesday.
Just a couple updates. I’m spending the weekend hanging with my daughter at my parent’s house. Probably won’t be many updates on Sunday, either. 🙂
No pics provided.

This is a project vehicle, new wheels and tires, new aluminum, radiator, new wiring harness, rebuild kits for trans, tcase, etc.. I don’t really need to sell it just never have time to get to it. All is stored inside and in excellent condition. Must see it to appreciate condition of the body.”
Just a couple posts Friday. They’ll resume Saturday morning.
