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 .

I purchased these posters circa 2011(?). They are all based on brochures published by Willys-Overland or Willys Motors. I sold all of them, except for keeping a personal copy of each one. It’s unclear where I ever published this post.

Glenn spotted this wagon, which appears to be at a reasonable price, though it’s unclear what work may be needed.

“Classic Antique Willy’s Wagon looking for a car enthusiast to restore. Some work was done including new brake lines. Great winter project.”

Bill shared this auction for a 1979 CJ-5 that looks in good shape. The highest bid is $3500 with 3 days to go.

“Purchasing a classic where the hard work is done is tempting, especially if the vehicle is a turnkey proposition that a new owner can enjoy immediately. Such is the case with this 1979 Jeep CJ-5. The current owner has splashed some cash on this beauty, with the panel and paintwork fairly new. It is a rock-solid, rust-free off-roader featuring the range-topping V8 under the hood. There is scope for the winning bidder to personalize this ride, although leaving it untouched is a viable approach. The owner feels it is time for this Jeep to find a new home, and has listed it exclusively with us at Barn Finds Auctions.”
The engine is not installed, but it does have a PTO with 2 point hitch and rear gear box, along with a Koenig half cab. Thanks to John for sharing.

See video, now running, after I rebuilt the carb. I replaced fuel lines and drained the old tank, but haven’t tested it since. I ran it through the gears on jack stands, and it turned the rears in all 3 and reverse. Didn’t engaged 4WD.

Anyone know what used a side-shift T-84F transmission?
Glenn’s got one, but it’s set up for 2WD. So far, suggestions are that it was used in Studebakers and/or Willys cars. A side-shifting T-84F capable of using a transfercase was the transmission used in Willys MAs.
We did unearth a couple of links for further information: https://www.oldwillysforum.com/forum/index.php?threads/willys-transmission.9570/
