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 .
It’s a project.

“I was going to restore a 1946 Willy’s CJ2A (VEC). I have a very decent body, clean title and a pile of parts that go with it. My intentions were to restore this and it kills me to let this go but medical bills say otherwise.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
Just the hub is for sale.
“Considering selling my body tub (tub only) and going with a replacement. Great shape with usual defects. Needs hat channels and rear panel. Reply to this post if interested. Local pick up with bill of sale only. No data plates or DOD.”
I emailed the seller of this and asked for some pics or a chance to go see this one. I wanted to learn if this was a Bobcat or Parkette body. I got a response to my first email, but am still awaiting a second one.
“Fiberglass high hood body, fenders, headlite buckets, hood, stainless grille, frame and title $999.00. Body rough but repairable. Also have GM SM-420 with NP 205, $650.00. Make offer.”
UPDATE: Was $1700. **SOLD**

(12/05/2013) “We have owned a number of Jeeps through the years and these are the last four we have for sale. 1975 CJ5 has 41k actual miles and includes many extra parts such as a 30 gal aux tank, new black seats and supports, and a new old stock Brass and Copper AMC Radiator.
The 1952 M38A1 was a US Army model with USGI winch. All mechanics on the Jeep were rebuilt back on the 1970’s but had been stored since Grand-dad died in 1998.
The 1978 RHD DJ is very solid–runs great–and has extra passenger seat installed.
The 1957 CJ has only 8k miles on it–very solid body with some unusual US Army Air Corps features (extended top bows and windshield and full floor cut out on door sills)–all factory.
$3500 each or $12,000 package price.”
UPDATE: Price now $3900.
(05/06/2014) Needs some glass at the very least.
