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 .
Hmmmm.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/02/2016) Looks like it might be patched don the driver’s side.
“I have owned this 1948 Willy’s Jeep for over 12 years. Over that period of time I have invested in many repairs/upgrades to get it in good mechanically reliable condition. Cosmetically it’s in good shape, though not restored. Some of the repairs/upgrades include; new tires, reupholstered seats, new gas tank, new radiator, brake system rebuild, shock absorbers, new windshield, alternator and many others (I have all the receipts). The vehicle runs great. Also included with the vehicle is a front snow plow — 6 feet wide! There is a hydraulic cylinder mounted to the front bumper to raise/lower the plow. It’s a great vehicle to plow snow — the heater works, too. I also have an original shop manual. The vehicle has a full top and both side doors (though not shown in the photos). All drive modes work; 2WD, 4WD-HI, 4WD-Low.”

“Jeep forward control. Very rare and hard to find. Will need complete restoration but it is all pretty much there. Some rust in the floors and bed. Must see in person to really get a good look at it so call me to set up a time or if you have any questions”

I wonder just how many versions of this press photo are out there?
“This is an original press photo. The Postwar Jeep, especially adapted for peacetime work, combines the four basic functions of tractor, light truck, mobile power unit and passenger conveyance. Photo shows the new Jeep, just unveiled to the public by Willys Overland Motors, operating a threshing machine. Among the many and various farm applications of this modern vehicle are: plowing, disking, raking, baling, shelling and grinding corn, operating manure spreader, filling silo and sawing wood. Photo measures 5 x 8.25 inches. Photo is dated 1-11-1946.”

Missing some parts and needs some electrical work, but the body appears solid.
“Vehicle is in good running condition, charges and brakes.
Drivetrain is noisy, but has been serviced with new GL1 gear oil and shifts smoothly through all gears.
4wd works fine in all configurations.
New seat covers.
Engine electrical is good – chassis electrical needs going through.
Wipers need service.
Tires look good.
Solid vehicle for full resto or fun runabout with a bit of work.”
Could use some better pics.
