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 $500.

(08/18/2015) Looks good.
“Family owned for almost 65 years.
Only 260 miles since complete restoration
TOP Converts to Half Cab, Full or Canopy
Removable Tow Bar included with safety chains
Beautiful restoration in Candy Apple red. This Willys was kept indoors in dry New Mexico climate. Family owned since 1951. Pristine original condition. Only modification is upgraded turn signal regulator. Starts and drives great. Steering is tight. Suspension is very smooth, does not rattle. It is a blast to drive! Full original white soft top has never been off other than to replace it at restoration.
Gauges lights all work and had a recent tune up. Over the years we did 3 complete body off, nut and bolt restorations and it has always been Candy Apple red and it is completely original, engine, trans, etc. Each time we restored it to pristine condition and had a new top and upholstery redone. Never used offroad. Tow bar.”
UPDATE: Maury found the cool video of the Pygmy. Wyatt noted that the Ford GP was formerly Mayor Fred Heine’s jeep, one that he bought and used on his farm and famous as the first jeep sold to the public.
The U.S. Veteran’s Museum in Huntsville, Alabama, has a great collection of early jeeps. I found these photos on Trip Advisor.
From left to right, looks like the Ford Pygmy, a Ford GP, a Bantam BRC-40, a Willys MA, and an Willys MB Slat grille.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,000
This is a former Wandering Willys Jeep Club Jeep built in Washington State. It was built by Mike Spencer and Mitch Carter’s cousin Bill. Real nice build for serious off-roading.
This is a very well equipped and off-road capable Jeep. It can be used for extreme off-roading or just touring the back country or desert. Jeep is registered in Washington and has a clean title (in my name). Jeep currently located in East County for the winter.
Engine-2002 Chevy Vortec 4.3L V6, Holley 380 carb with a K&N Filter, Edelbrock manifold, Headers and custom dual exhaust with a Magnaflow muffler. HEI distributor has been recurved and Holley carb has been rejetted, all on dyno. Northern aluminum radiator with aluminum overflow tank and electric cooling fan that can be shut off on dash. Painless Wiring 12 Circuit Fuse Block and all new wiring ran to everything. Optima Yellow Top Battery with custom HD battery cables and military post connectors.
Driveline-T90 3-speed just rebuilt coupled with Dana 18 Transfer Case & Warn Overdrive. (Only problem I have is that the OD jumps out of gear occasionally when accelerating hard. It will probably need to be looked at, if you plan on serious off-roading or hill climbing.) Tom Woods Custom Driveshafts F&R.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
