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 $9000.
Bill forwarded this MB/GPW. There have been a few updates on this. I didn’t know there were lighters in WWII jeeps! That must have been handy for keeping their cell phones charged, too.

“1961 Jeep Willys Pickup, serial number 55268-64738. The title is clean and in my possession.
It is powered by a Ford 302 small block V8. The engine is used but starts and runs nicely. The three speed transmission and transfer case are original. The four wheel drive works great. There is an aftermarket overdrive installed and it will cruise at highway speeds. The rims are aftermarket chrome-alloy and the tires are barely used.
Mechanical updates include: power brakes, electrical engine fan, new fuel tank, and dual exhaust with cherry bombs. The steering is still original but has been overhauled including a new steering wheel. The bed is lined with Herculiner roll on bed liner. The interior is restored with new upholstery, rubber flooring, and door panels. The door and floor panels are new and made out of an oak veneer.
The carburetor needs a tune up and the suspension is sagging and needs updated. There is a crack in the top corner of the driver’s side window. If the battery is not unplugged after driving it will drain over long periods of time. The paint is in decent condition with only minor scratches and chips. Rust is minimal. ”

Steve is selling these headers.
He writes, “these are a new set of advanced adapter headers, the way my engine was installed i cant use them, i want 300.00, payed almost 400.00”
Grandma’s house is full of hungry teenagers, including some of mine. Duty calls and tummies need satiation; so, I must forgo updates tonight.
updates tomorrow.
UPDATE: We made it to Seattle, but the day was long and I’m exhausted. So, I will post in the morning (yes, I really will!).
I had planned to do updates tonight, but my kids arrived today, so the video games are trumping jeeps for the evening.
We are heading to Seattle in the morning to spend the week up there. However, I decided to plan a stop in Baker City and, finally, check out the “Paint Your Wagon” exhibit at the Oregon Trail Regional Museum. As a LONG time fan of the movie (Dad was a fan and, for better or worse, passed on the legacy) I have always wanted to stop there, but wanted to bring the kids along. And, yes, I can sing every song on the sound track, most by memory. That’s what happens when you get trapped on road trips in your parents’ motor home as a kid for hours at a time with only a few eight track tapes in the motorhome — you hear the same ones over and over and over.
As you can probably guess, I didn’t quite get to updates this morning .. soooooo, I shall do them tonight. However, I’m sure you’ll feel better knowing that most of my garage is now packed and cleaned!
I’ll post some tomorrow morning …
– Dave
Updates monday morning, probably right after dad calls from the hospital at 6:30am to tell mom and I that he is awake. lol … yeah, he’s back to his ol’ self.
