About eWillys
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.
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 .
The tailgate has some rust and the body has been patched, but apparently it runs well.
“Offering for sale a recently restored jeep featuring 12-volt system, custom sun bikini top, and OD green in color with 7.50 X 31.00 tires. It is a flat-head 4 cylinder that runs well on road or off.”
It doesn’t run. I thought I saw barn doors, but I guess I was seeing things!

Before I get to the brakes, this past Friday Ann’s mother Rosemary decided to buy a motorhome. Well, not that she’d decided on Friday, but rather earlier in the week she caught the motorhome bug. After plowing through websites, stats and prices over a period of several days, she learned there was a local motorhome show happening. On Friday she and Ann went down to the show and found a 28′ Sunseeker. On Saturday, we brought it home.
I bring this story up because I’d already been planning to head to Seattle for a few days to taken advantage of the nice weather and work on Biscuit. On Saturday I left with the understanding that Ann, her mother, and Ann’s aunt Kathy planned leave on Saturday as well. They were going to drive the motorhome (Apparently nicknamed ‘Abby’ at this point) to Spokane, then head to Seattle to drop off Ann with me. Next, Rosemary would head south to Vancouver, before turning back toward Pasco.
They spent the night Saturday night in Spokane, but instead of going to Seattle, I got word on Sunday that Rosemary hijacked the plans and decided to head to Montana (with Ann and the wheel). Over the next few days they camped in several spots (Walmarts on two occasions — which offers free camping) in Montana and Wyoming. After staying Thursday night in Yellowstone, they finally arrived late Thursday night back home in good spirits.
Apparently the navigation in the motorhome doesn’t work well. They ended up traveling on this gravel road through western Montana on this gravel road at night.
This World Market was right across the parking lot from the Walmart where they stayed in Billings. Not exactly my idea of camping, but they were having fun.
Nice bit of art at the Little Big Horn Battlefield.
This was a parking lot at the Cody, Wyoming, Walmart. I’ve seen worse campsites!
Ann managed to take this photo on her phone from the camper. They were between Cody and Yellowstone NP.
Steve shared this eBay auction. There are several jeeps in the mix.
“This lot features a very large lot of military models. They have been in storage for quite some time so they are dirty and some are missing pieces. I have taken more than 12 pictures, so see below for all of them. Some other small pieces may fall off during shipping. The paint job on these pieces is EXCELLENT, whoever did the painting did 10 times better than I could. Some of the rubber treads have dry rotted.
We have other lots from the same owner available if you like the paint job (and some of the loose parts may be mixed into other lots) so bid on them all ;)”
