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: **SOLD** Were $120.
This is a great deal, especially if it includes the rims. The tread sure looks good.
“Desert dogs good tread 16.5 rims. 30 dollars each”
Lots of work left.
“I have a 1953 Willys jeep for sale or trade. I have 95% of all the pieces needed for it. The body and chassis are together but most parts are off the vehicle including the engine (but not the rest of the driveline). I also have an extra body tub, hood, and windshield. Project vehicle which unfortunately, I do not have enough time to work on. Asking $3000 obo. May accept trades, just let know what you have.”

(03/14/2014) It does not run.
” have a 1946 jeep (first year of consumer jeeps) that needs a restoration. It does not run and was parked for years as the clutch was sticking. It does roll and steer to move. The frame looks good and the body has had new metal welded in. The jeep has the original motor (flathead 4) and drive train (3 speed). It shows 13,000 original miles.These are getting more difficult to find to restore. I would like to trade it for an enduro bike, 4 wheeler, jeep wrangler, or maybe something else motorized. You can always ask if I am interested. Thanks for looking.”

<– Day 26 –Apr. 14th: Gorditas Make Me Sleepy | OVERVIEW | Day 28 – Apr. 16th: Artichokes and Sushi Boats –>
Today we didn’t do much but relax and wander around Monterey on a mostly cloudy day. Monterey has two wharfs, one more tourist-oriented and one more local-oriented. We started at the latter by grabbing some clam chowder at the Sandbar & Grille Restaurant. The chowder tasted good, but had a too many potato chunks and too few clams.
After lunch we got on our tourist vibe with a walk to the other more notable wharf.
The ‘tourist’ wharf even had an unofficial greeter:
It doesn’t look like his fishing is faring to well.
Visitors strolling the wharf.
At the end of wharf Ann got busy with her camera, so I got busy photographing her.
As we left the wharf I decided to see if YELP could find an interesting ice cream place. Sure enough, YELP found Kai Lee Creamery in Pacific Grove. So, we headed west until reaching the cannery row area, with some recognizable places.
Kai Lee Creamery was started six months ago by Butch Adams who had no experience in the industry. His goal is to make ice cream that is organic, gluten-free, non-soy, all-natural, vegetarian, and handmade.
Oscar Skold was in Colombia last month. He shot these photos for us (at least that’s the way I’d like to think of them).
He reports, “I know most of these are not actually Willys jeeps but nevertheless a very cool encounter while I was visiting Colombia a month ago. They use most of these old jeeps as taxis and you see them everywhere. Unfortunately I didn’t have a camera to shoot all that I saw but these pics gives you an idea what a great country this is to travel around in. We were mostly in the Medellin area and south, down to a town called Roldanillo.”
