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: Price dropped to $2900.

No water in the oil, gas tank filthy, haven’t seen any leaks. 4.7L v6 (chevy) engine, T-90 transmission. It is in rough shape but It will climb walls in low gear. It has rust and it needs lots of TLC. When we parked it, it ran awesome. I have to owner’s manual on CD and it has a clean title. Original tow-bar included.”
Looks like a good price.

<– Day 13 – Fri. Apr. 24th: We Made it to Texas | TRIP OVERVIEW | Day 15 – Sun. Apr. 26th: Parks and Wind –>
Oh yeah, I can work it!
Our goal for Saturday was to visit multiple odd-ball places in El Paso, then head to the Guadalupe Mountains, before dropping to the town of Alpine. The key to this plan was an early start and an aggressive stop-and-see plan at the oddball locations. However, Texas had other plans for us.
It started 30 seconds from our West El Paso motel. On our way to see Pancho Villa’s finger — yes, downtown at Dave’s Pawnshop is something that resembles Villa’s trigger finger that is for sale, only $9500 — we hit traffic. Since we only had four miles to go, I figured it couldn’t take us too long, right? Wrong. Without any other route options, we were forced to endure stop and go traffic as four lanes dropped to three, three lanes dropped to two, and two lanes dropped to one. One hour later(!!!), we finally made passed the blockage — workers were hanging signs on an overpass. Who knew? We didn’t, at least not in time.
By the time we reached the finger (Ann’s idea) I might have been a little surly. But, it was fun to visit the shop on El Paso Street, a mini-Tijuana that looked like it might be fun to stroll up and down when we didn’t have camera and computer equipment locked in our jeep. So, we passed on exploring the area further, but Ann did get her chance to photograph Pancho’s finger:
After getting the finger, we left for another old relic, a 1919 refurbished gas station with non-functioning pumps. Local resident Rod Davenport restored the gas station. Other local residents were so pleased with the result they turned the surrounding area into a small park. It was a neat little place.
Seth spotted this one. There is no price listed for the sign. I don’t know if it is an original club placard or a knockoff sign.

Are those doodles on the side of the truck? Has a great vintage feel. Maybe fully mechanically restored?
“Fully Restored, 1952 Jeep Willys Truck. 2nd owner. Very good condition. Used for parades and fun drives until 1986 when it was parked inside for storage. This is completely original and has been in our family since early 70’s. ”
Glenn bought these wagons, but yard thieves stole some of the parts. email him at glenns@tdstelme.net for more information on parts and check out his updated comment in the comment’s section.
“These two wagons are in my neighborhood and I went over to check them out a couple days ago. I’ve known the 1948 Wagon about 3-4 years and the 1946 has been added to the pile for goodies. Make no mistake, this is a basket case PROJECT, but a project with POTENTIAL. This owner was serious when he went into gear. He disassembled everything, bought new parts galore, bought some more just in case, even had some more body sections shipped in to add to the pile. This road ready chassis with rebuilt motor, transmission, and rear end is ALL Done, including rebuilt accessories like starter, generator, water pump, brakes, radiator, POR Coating, and ON & ON. The bodies are a Maine and a NY origin, media blasted, primed and ready for a mig welder to slice and dice the new panels already purchased. There’s plenty here to make a very nice all steel 2 WD Willys Station Wagon with a pile of extras.”
