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 .

” have three WW11 Jeeps. One is a 1942 with the Willy’s tornado engine in it. (I have heard this one run)
One is a 1946 CJ2A. This one has the Chrysler engine in it.
The third one (the blue one) is just a shell and frame no drive train. It is set up to take a small block Chevy.
I have a ton of extra parts for these jeeps. Including 4 extra transmissions and transfer cases, a brand new soft top (still in the box), a few winches as well as a ton of other stuff.
I bought these from a friend who lost her husband to help her out financially. I don’t know much about them. I am only looking to get out of them what I am in them but shoot me an offer if you would like.”
