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 $10,000

Hard to see much. Something is hanging of the driver’s side where the rear bow holder should be. I don’t see the data plate on the dash.

Not sure how much value is under the rust.
“Flat Fendered Jeep CJ-3A. The jeep was a working vehicle on a farm until a several years ago. The- motor went and it was left to the elements. The motor was disassembled and it was also left exposed to the elements. The block is still in it and I have the head. However, I understand the transmission, transfer case, diffs, hubs and steering were all functioning well when it quit. It is a civilian model that is heavily rusted. I was going to do the minimum and put a 225 V6 in it. BUT, I cannot get around to it for a while and my home owners association is doin there crap. So, I would like to get it moved out of here soon. The tires don’t hold air so it will have to be trailer-ed. There is no title. I will be here all weekend, if you want to take a look, can get it moved and want to make me a cash offer, I will not part it. I will be glad -to answer questions by phone if I can, but face to face cash (and you have trailer) is the way I deal.”

“willys jeep trans transfer case front & rear rears bo call jeff ”
Maybe has some parts value.
“1950’s m170 willys jeep. needs some work but runs and drives. has some rust but it’s un restored and it’s 66 years old. definitely worth fixing up. the m170 is a rare medic jeep it is 20 inches longer then your normal jeep and the passenger side door opening is larger to accommodate the spare tire so a stretcher could be put in the back. it is all original except engine. it has an all original 1966 mustang 289 v8 that runs great. there is no title but if you know old jeeps you know you can get one for cheap with Vin plates. asking $1,400 or trade… ‘

The University of Toledo’s digital archives (UTOPIA) includes several pages of a wartime record report for the Willys Overland fiscal fear ending September 30, 1943. The report spans 107 pages, but the digital archive only includes five of the pages. The part that caught my eye was a table of contents line showing a discussion of the “Jeep” – Evolution of a New Military Vehicle, a chapter that lasted 16 pages. Has anyone ever reviewed the report? The full report appears to be in the Ward M. Canaday Center for Special Collections.
