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 .

Marc was in the South African Air Force, but never saw one of these offroad airborne Jakkal vehicles in action. He’d never seen one until he enountered this link, which has all kinds of pictures by Danie Van den Berg:
http://www.sa-transport.co.za/military/army_vehicles_3.html
Here’s a packed Jakkal from a Wikipedia entry:
It looks like this has a jeep like suspension with full floating hubs in the rear. Note how the winch until on the front folds down to allow the front clip to tilt forward.
UPDATE: Sale Pending. Was priced at $1800.
I happened across this beautiful wagoneer. It looks like a great price. We thought seriously about this one.

Dan pointed out this rare Suzuki for sale on eBay.
“this is a very rare 1972 suzuki lj20 brute iv 4-wheel drive 359 cc two stroke with 20900 miles on it. we have owned it sence december of 2007 and hade engine rebulit back in 2009 with less than 500 miles one it. totaly restored body and was painted white “witch was original color” with clear coat everything works and runs great with a set of 5 brand new michelin tires and american raceing rims all with less than 500 miles on it and it rides like a dream. the repaint, engine rebuild and tires + rims were all done in july to august of 2009 and in september of 2009 was taken to moab utah for a 4-wheel meet and out of its 500 miles about 200 was done offroad and the other was all done on city/street driving for car shows and meets. it is fited with a tach witch was not original but helps to know what rpm you are doing on these vehicals. as far as the history of the vehical it is a local vehical sence the mid 80’s to our information that we have recived.”
This is located in the UK, but is being shipped to the US. See the description for more info.
“This rare 1953 AR51 Matta 4×4 has been in my storage for years. It is amazingly original and unmolested, a real surviver. I guess the reason why I never touched it is the fact that it is a real time wrap, never restored or modified in anyway, as many of these AR51-52 were. It still has its original gray paint, with some surface rust here and there. It looks to be complete with all unique parts, windscreen fittings, wiper motors with wipers, headlamps screens, etc. The Matta is very solid, doors shut perfectly (they are detachable by lifting them off when open!), all panels sit properly. As far as I can tell it has never been dismantled or restored in any way. There are rust spots, but generally surface rust, as the metal is very thick.
There are some rust holes, mainly in the floors, but of course very simple to repair. All original mechanically – engine is original dry sump , still turning by hand, complete with all ancillaries, air filter etc. Interior is very simple, but all original, seat frames, complete instrument panel etc. Seat covers are shot, but springs are there and should be usable. It has a dual spare wheel, one originally fitted on the hood, the other now loose, possibly fitted at rear. Top frame bows are there, the top fabric has deteriorated over the years. The main rust issues that can be seen are some floor rust holes, and some rust at the underside of the hood. One of the side rails at the rear is a bit bent downward, but can be easily straightened.
It is not road worthy and would need restoration (to my opinion a very sympathetic restoration – not to destroy the original look)
I will include the “Matta” book, which is an excellent reference and parts book.
This is a rare and original Matta, I have seen several of these over the years, but never one in such an original condition.
It is located in my storage in the UK, now being shipped over to the US. Since I have decided to sell it on, I thought of advertising it prior to shipping. The new owner can choose the port of destination. Shipping cost of approximately $1200 is to be paid by the buyer.
Please email for more information you might need.”

UPDATE: Sold. Was on eBay.
This has a few jeeps parts and many more non jeep parts.
“It was used up to the point of having one cylider run rough; then the unit was replaced with another used Zamboni of newer vintage. This unit fits into the 1964 to 1969 HD and HDA catagory of Zambonis . most of us remember these at the ice rinks when we were alot younger.
This is the familiar looking unit that most NHL ICE rinks had back in the 60’s and 70’s. This would be a fantastic unit for promotion / parade / or for your local ice rink once motor repaired.
This unit has the air-cooled 4 cylinder Wisconsin VH4D engine. The motor is tired on one cylinder , it does run,it was last run in december 2011. It does have the 5 bolt wheel jeep cj5 diffs, but is the 1964 up non jeep framed type Zamboni . It has the 3 speed manual transmission (Jeep FC 150) , It has 4 studded tires. it rolls and steers properly.
It has been used up to recently at the Keremeos BC ice rink, with former use at the Osoyoos BC rink.”
