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 .
This has some updates.

“1956 Willys pickup with a post hole auger on the back. PTO drivin off the transfer case to a PTO gear box on the rear of the pickup. Has a 250 inline 6 Ford and a Ford 3 speed adapted to a Dana 18 transfer case.

-rewired ignition and battery cables
-New plugs, wires, cap, rotor, coil, fuel filter, fuel lines, altranator, air cleaner, oil change, belts, starter, exhaust to down pipe gasket, exhaust & muffler, gauge set, battery, and more
Cons
-lots of rust
-previous owner patched the frame in many places
-lots of jimmy rigged stuff
-radiator has small leak. Does not overheat
-no brakes
-it’s ugly
-no title/off road use only
Overall it works well but it’s ugly and nasty. Price will go up as I keep fixing/replacing parts.”
Looks like there is value here.
