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 .
Blaine spotted this combo for sale. Could be a good value for the right person.

All go together. Have Titles.”

It could sue some work. This might have some early Free-Lock hubs, but I can’t tell for sure.
“I bought this flat fender Willys Jeep last weekend but now I’m realizing it needs more than I have the time for. It’s a fairly clean body with typical rust but nothing terrible. As you can see they butchered the grill to shoehorn a straight six in but I do have another grill that I can sell with the jeep.  comes with a Koenig hard top and doors. I did not get a title but that would be fairly easy to obtain and I’m happy to help you do that. asking $2500 cash or something comparable in trade.”
UPDATE: And has the notch in the steering wheel for a column shift (thanks Doug)

“Just an old Flattie. It’s pretty complete, but hasn’t been run in years. Straight six, not seized. I have a clean title for it. Hit me up with questions. Thanks.”
What caught my eye about this one was the unusual hubs. Maybe an early Dualmatic (or dalmatic knock off?

An October 18, 1949, article in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram announced Daniel M. Towns decision to drive a jeep from Magallanes, Chile, to Fairbanks, Alaska, then drive to Washington, D.C. He is hoping to be able to cross the Darien Gap rather than boat around it. He plans to use tracks on a jeep to get through the Gap. As of the date of the article, Willys-Overland (or a dealer) had already agreed to supply a jeep.
A few weeks later, Towns received some advice from Frank Buck, as described in a November 07, 1949, article in the Forth Worth Star-Telegram. Frank Buck died a few months later.
