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 .

“Does not run the Jeep is pretty rusty as you can see in the picture”
It appears the gas tank has been moved to atop the cargo area and an inlet was added to the tailgate.

“I’m listing my Willy’s restoration. I have a kid on the way so cash would be more useful. However, the project will continue if it doesn’t sell for what I need. The engine, trans and transfer case have all been rebuilt. The trans will be picked up this week from the shop. The frame has been sanded and POR. The body, fenders, windshield frame and tailgate is all brand new and has not been mounted yet. The power train should all be mated in the next few weeks. After that the body goes on and she gets paint. Price will go up as the restoration continues.”
UPDATE: Still Available. It’s listed as a 1948, but as Joe points out, it looks more like a 3A.

“Jeep FC170 Rare 4WD. 3 spd, super hurricane 6 cyl. Warn hubs. Hydraulic dump bed and 3 way snow plow. Working Warn electric winch. Not many of these left, especially with these options.”
UPDATE: I love it when I can combine old photos with documentation. In this case, I discovered that Stanley W. Smale had filed a patent for his metal sweeper. Stanley filed his Magnetic Sweeper patent on January 10, 1950.
From his patent: “An object of this invention is to provide an apparatus of such size and mobility that it can be used to remove ferrous articles from roads, parking lots or any surface over which vehicles may travel, in an effective, speedy and economical manner.
Another object of this invention is to provide a mobile magnetic field of sufficient force to not only pick up loose items, but pieces embedded below the surface which might normally be forced upwardly through the surface by frost or other disturbing influences.”
