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 $400.
James found these unusual tracks last night. He gave the seller a call today, only to discover that while the Tracks were $400, the steering mechanism was going to be extra. These are about 500lbs a piece, so shipping is an unlikely option. You can learn more about these Tracks here: http://www.offroaders.com/tech/jeep/Jeep-Wagner-Trac-Tank-Tracks.htm
UPDATE: Craig reports the following: “ It died a terrible death on the side of the highway sometime back. An electrical fire totally destroyed it. I believe that it was not under its own power at the time. (Being towed or trailered).
Someone put some serious work in this. It was listed at $3500

A few years ago, Hemmings ran a post about an article they produced the CJ-4. In the article, they discuss how the X-151 became the prototype CJ-4, the only one of it’s class made. It was later sold to an employee, who later resold it to someone who stored it in a garage for years.
You can read all about it a Hemmings blog
This is an edited version of an ad for a Holden-modified ambulance for sale in 2010 (or maybe it wasn’t a Holden?). Now it contains some information on Holden-Modified Jeeps.
This video shows a Holden at Iwo Jima:
Here are some photos of a Holden modified jeep that was for sale in 2010.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Here’s a custom rig. Does this qualify as street legal in Alaska?

“Very cool driver>>>>all original drive train and still runs like new. This is a good project or keep as is and use as a slow driver. No speed demon here as this was designed as a work horse with top speed around 50 mph. This is a good 20 footer and is a lot of fun. Take to Sand Lake and you can drive to town as this is what we used it for. Give me a call and we can make a deal as I am out of room. John @ 360 600-8213. Will deliver locally. It also comes with tow bar and you can Rat Rod it or make a cool Hot Rod too!”

“Excellent Willys Jeep with Rear PTO Belt Drive thing for farm work! Just the Complete PTO setup is worth $2500 So I am tossing the rest in for free!!! As you can see it has been modified over the years. Looks like a willys truck nose, a Vauxall car cab, and a custom metal bed for cord wood. The only jeep stuff that looks original: PTO stuff, Frame, axels, engine, transmission. missing radiator. I don’t want to part it out, that way somebody can mod their jeep with these parts and convert theirs over to a AG Jeep. Engine looks complete with distributor, starter, and carb. I haven’t tried cleaning anything or try to turn anything over (The guy from Pawn Stars told me not to). ”
This is a beautiful restoration / customization.
“In addition to all of that, this JEEPSTER runs like a champ. The seats are very comfortable. The Dodge Dakota V6 engine runs smoothly, burns no oil, and is free of undercarriage drips. Power steering and cruise control add to the enjoyment of driving. It is more than capable of highway speeds and climbs the Nevada mountain ranges with ease. All of the chrome trim is without blemish. There is no underside rust. There are no dents, dings, or gouges. The top and side curtains are in good condition. The tires are nearly new.
However, there are two things that need to be done if the buyer wants to put it into show condition. While the paint photographs well, it is not flawless. Close inspection reveals cracks in the finish. The Spoke wheels need to be re-chromed.
I can no longer afford to keep my Jeepster and an airplane at the same time. I love driving the Jeepster, but I put in hundreds of hours building the airplane, and it is the one I have decided to keep.”
Jalopy Journal has a short thread with a variety of pics. The wagon that caught my eye is shown below, a creatively constructed ‘party wagon’. I love it! There’s a few more pics of this at the website.
