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: Status Unknown. Was priced at $7500.
This looks nice.

This looks like it was a racer. Now it’s a parts jeep.
“Selling a Willys jeep that I was going to use for a project but have bought something else so it needs to find a new home. NO MOTOR OR TRANNY! NO TITLE! It is 2wd right now but have a set of CJ axles I would sell also if someone was interested. Body is in decent condition and would make some good parts for another jeep or make a crawler out of it. Old engine was a small block chevy. I don’t want to scrap it out since there aren’t to many of these still around so let me know if you are interested.

A couple weeks ago some of the folks from the PNW4WDA put on another barrel racing show in the Tacoma Dome. There’s only room for two barrels, rather than three, but it still looks like fun. Here’s a few videos from the event.
Looks fun.
