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 .
These photos came from a 1955 jeep family brochure introducing the CJ-5. What’s curious is that several photos show the shackles on the front springs located at the front (see the “mail carrier” photo). As most know, the earliest CJ-5s had shackles in the rear. So, I’m wondering if the CJ-5s in these photos were bodies put on CJ-3B chassis or whether they were prototype chassis.
Luis spotted this jeepish looking vehicle. Anyone recognize it? Custom or production vehicle?
Could be a nice jeep.

Frame is from a 1952 cj and gauges are from a cj5 with aluminum dash. And cj5 swinging foot pedals with hydraulic brakes and clutch setup, new bucket seats with racing harnesses. also has electronic ignition. Needs a little electrical work done to the gauges. Vehicle is currently registered with a green sticker only needs to add front windshield to register it for the street but since I don’t drive it on the street I haven’t bothered to repair broken windshield which comes with vehicle. Solid vehicle that just needs some one to finish off or drive as is and have fun with, I also have 1 ton front and rear axles that will go with the Jeep Dana 44 front and Dana 60 rear plus 4 steel wheels to make the swap.”
