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 .

“Recently removed from a Willys Jeep project that I am parting out. All internals in great shape except for the special lock washer, and the end of the 6 spline shaft. The washer and special C clip are available from Advanced Adapters in their installation kit. The end of the 6 spline shaft is serviceable, just needs dressed up. Brass syncro ring and dogs and springs all look good. Planetary gears spin free with no noticeable wear. Original vintage Jeep and International Scout All range overdrive, just needs the washer replaced and installed on your Dana Spicer 18. I did not disassemble the planetary housing any further than is depicted…If you want me to dig deeper into the assemble I can but I don’t think it necessary. This was removed from a Ford 289, top loader 3 speed and Spicer 18 that came out of a running Willys.”
