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 $2800.

“Great project jeep only thing needed is paint and a motor”
This photo and article appeared in the July 09, 1973, issue of the Longview Daily News. I don’t remember the Road Rebels Jeep Club nor can I remember its insignia. The tow bar on the front suggests this jeep was likely a trail and race jeep, if not also a road jeep. It was common to see the family jeep show up at races into the early 1980s. It doesn’t take too many breakdowns of the family jeep while racing to convince owners to build race-only jeeps.
“A hearty crowd turned out for the Jeep Play Day put on by the Road Rebels Jeep Club this weekend in conjunction with Kelso’s Hilander Summer Festival. The unidentified driver has all four wheels slinging mud, sand and water during his run over the course. Photographer Dave Fox captured the action with a camera setting of f16 at 500th of a second, which is considerably slower than the speed he used to get out of the way.”
Four CJ-5 Questions for you all:

“If you want a title it’ll be the same price as a whole vehicle. I have this very rare little Suzuki LJ20 Jimny that I bought with big plans, but now need to move on. Engine is a water cooled 360cc 2cyl 2-stroke that is stuck, not sure how bad. 4spd manual trans, 4wd, needs a bit of everything. Practically zero rust but is missing one rear window. Even the original Toshiba headlights from ’73 are intact! Looking for $3000, open to offers Clean title in hand, on non-op Cash offers only, flexible on price to the right home.”

“Runs and drives great. I drive it at least once a week to buy beer. The good: Engine rebuilt New Clutch New steering (gearbox rebuilt, new tie rod ends, new ball joints) New battery New ignition coil Canvas top New steering wheel The bad: Needs new bell housing (cracked) Brakes are weak, probably needs new drums. Lots of bondo/body filler. Leaks a little oil from engine and transfer case Needs muffler Needs new front driveshaft (works, just loose) Speedometer broken (makes noise and needle snapped) I’m not in a hurry to sell. The longer I keep it the more work I will do, so price will go up. I would consider trading for other off-road toys. M715. Wrangler. Comanche. YJ. TJ. MJ. Let me know what you’ve got!”
This tiny 3D Jeep puzzle reminds me of a wooden one I have. This plastic version is currently priced at $39.

The 2 holes punched in the center of the card were used to attach the puzzle onto the card with a rubber band.
The puzzles are all complete, unbroken and in very good to excellent condition with any exceptions clearly specified.”
