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 $799.
(01/29/2017) Looks in good shape.
“I have an old Jeep Willys body for sale, don’t know much about it, it does have rust, figured it would make a cool rat rod like pictured or a great military looking re-build. Even perfect for a kids bed, many possibilities. No title,
Just is what you see in the pics, I have a friend that has a hood and grill that would probably work out depending on what your building. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,000.
I think the price rules it out as a “perfect father and son project”. Seller doesn’t mention it has a replacement body. It will take more than a few hundred to bring this up to “showroom ready”.
“This willy’s only needs a few more hundred spent on it to become showroom ready, all of the original fixtures are present, including the 6 volt battery. The Vin is buried under a weld on the rt. front bumper strut and it needs a front steering strut kit to even up the steering, runs like a pip with all working lights bells and dials. This would make an ideal father& son project. Here are some of the extras built in…
brand new Kaiser shocks, a re-built carburetor, new U joints, suspension and brakes. 4 brand new 1940’s style 4×4 tire’s, with 2 original tires spare.
Work invoice for other fixed parts available upon request at email.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
Seller provided a variety of pics.
“I am cleaning out the garage and would like to sell all of the following parts together:
Dana 41 complete with drum brakes
Front drum brakes and Hubs off of a dana 25
Master cylinder
2 6 volt starters
6 volt generator
6 volt voltage regulator
6 volt fuel gauge
Glass bowl Fuel Pump
Carburetor WO
Fuel tank with cap
6 volt distributor with Pertronix electronic ignition conversion
6 volt Pertronix Flame thrower coil
various 6 volt bulbs
Oil bath air cleaner with mounts
Some strange 24 volt heater, not sure where I picked it up from”

Dan & Jean’s 1950 Willys-Overland Jeep Station Wagon
I was doing some research on a Willys Overland site in downtown Denver when I stumbled upon a blog from 2013 about Jean and Dan. They rebuilt a 1950 Wagon they called Jenny, then traveled 10,300 miles through 15 states to visit 12 western National Parks over 63 days.
This link summarizes the trip, with the latest posts at the top: http://www.ati-engineers.com/blog.
there are lots of pics and videos.

This example video highlights a drive across Hoover Dam, with music playing and the engine chugging happily:
