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 .
Needs work, but if someone can get the price down …

Jack found this CJ-8 project.
“ffered reluctlantly is one of my preferred projects a 1982 unadulterated Jeep Scrambler cj8, unfortunately my lungs no longer agree with restoration projects. As much as I love other classics there definately is a “Jeep Thing” which runs through ones veins even Enzo Ferrari gave the Jeep honorable mention. This Jeep Scrambler is definately a basket case which can be a good thing if you know how to restore these but it is all here plus and extra period correct running motor. Please note EXTRA motor as the original [in pieces] is there.
The interior is in excellent shape no rips tears dents or paint, the top a bit faded but also in good shape. Floors are rusted, exterior body good for this state but some rust, frame some rust. Engine in pieces but spare engine comnes with for parts or drop in while you rebuild the other. The pricey scramblers ones 30,000 and up appear to be the unadulterated one as you would expect and I have seen nothing but these going up as less than 25000 were made. Well this scrambler has NOT been lifted, stretched, widened, chopped, had a chevy v8 dropped in [nor any other motor for that fact] made into a rock crawler a mud bogger or anything other than a JEEP SCRAMBLER that is why I bought it.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
It’s doesn’t look like a standard Willys head, but could be a Willys engine. Col car.
“1953 Hudson jet only made in 53 and 54 has a flathead Willy’s that turns over, needs new floors and rockers but can be found on eBay”
UPDATE:**SOLD**
(11/06/2016) Needs some work. There aren’t many of these around.
“This is a second, project unit that I have for sale.
1984 AMC Jeep CJ8 Alaskan postal version (right hand drive!!!). It has an inline 258 6-cylinder and is an automatic (very rare for older jeeps) 4×4. Floor shift with floor-mounted, hand-operated emergency brake. This Jeep is a project Jeep. Runs and lot drives, but wouldn’t trust it for longer trips currently. There is significant rust-triugh in the driver’s side (RH) floor and above the wheel wells in the tub. The Top and doors are solid. As with most Postals, the frame is rust-free.

UPDATE: Sold. Listed as a Struck Mini Beep, this looks to me more like a modified Roof Palomino.
Blaine spotted this rare Mini Beep Struck.
“This is a really hard to find Struck Mini Beep. These were built by the Struck company that is famous for making the little bulldozers that you could buy as a kit. Today they are called Magna Tracks. This one has been modified some. It is a really neat little Jeep. It articulates in the middle to turn. It is four wheel drive. It runs good but could use a couple of new belts. I collect old garden tractors and so it does not really fit so I am passing it on to someone else to enjoy it. ”
This pink surrey-like vehicle looks fun. A blue version of this same vehicle and same year sold for $27,500 at a Barret-Jackson auction.
“Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this eye-catching 1974 Volkswagen Type 181… aka, the Volkswagen Thing. With looks somewhere between an Army Jeep and a Volkswagen Beetle, the Volkswagen Thing already stands out, but this particular example was built to look like the ultra-rare Acapulco Edition. These cars were built in very low numbers but they are instantly recognizable, and that Caribbean look is transferred to this 1974 Volkswagen Thing Acapulco Edition Tribute with a two-tone pink-and-white paint job, matching interior and the Surrey soft top. If a canvas roof isn’t quite your style, though, this car also comes with a full open-side hard top and removable roll bars. Powering this 1974 Volkswagen Thing is a rear-mounted 1,584-cc horizontally opposed and air-cooled four-cylinder, and this engine is backed by a four-speed manual gearbox. Drop the top, remove the doors and flip down the windshield, and this 1974 Volkswagen Thing is a perfect beach cruiser, parade vehicle or show car!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3900.
Not quite a daily driver. Has some drive train updates.
“Up for sale is a 1965 jeep Wagoneer. Got this as a project, but i am buying a house so it is time to let it go. You don’t see a lot of the early wagoners anymore. It runs and drives, but needs a few things to be a driver. Paint looks good from 10-15ft, has a little rust, but a solid running gear. Here are the specs:
Fresh 283 sbc with mild cam and headers
Mustang Boss 302 top loader 4-speed
Stock Dana 20 transfer case
Dana 60 power locker rear end
Dana 44 front axle with disc brakes
Hurst shifter
Clean Oregon Title
Will need exhaust, tires, and a few misc. things to make it a daily driver.
This may be worth a look.
“1983 Jeep Scrambler 4.2L motor with 47,xxx original miles, T4 trans, 300 transfer case. Dana 30 front, amc 20 rear wide track axles with 4.88 gears. Rear has spider gears welded. 33″ tires. Small lift. New fuel lines, brake lines, lots of new parts. Bikini top. Hard doors and tailgate available but rough. ”

Glenn spotted this unusual Puegot, at least unusual in America. It doesn’t look quite as nice as the one on Wikipedia. Some of the black trim may have been painted on white on this vehicle.
“For Sale is a very unique Peugeot P4 freshly imported from France. These are very rare in the US. This vehicle was refurbished in France for a UN contract. Mechanically perfect with approximately 14,000 miles (22,626 kilometers). It is essentially a Mercedes G-wagon with a Peugeot 505 diesel motor and 4 speed transmission.”
