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** Was $3000

Yesterday, Ann’s mom was watching a TV Movie called “The Journey” starring Yul Brenner and Deborah Kerr. I didn’t pay much attention, as I was cooking dinner, until the end of the movie when Yul Brenner stands next to a MB. The next think I know, he’s dead in the MB. Ann had her mom rewind it and we captured a couple pictures. Nice Jeep!
One moment, Yul is alive:
The next moment, he isn’t:
Don Estes wrote a followup to the book Willy – The Little Jeep Who Wanted to Be a Fire Truck called WILLY AND FRIENDS Traveling through the Seasons: The continuing story of Willy the little fire jeep. Both were illustrated by Eric Glass.

Craig forwarded this picture of a St. Bernard that is about the size of an FC!
This starts and run, too.
“This jeep starts and runs great! I have a new master cyl for it and then the brakes should work great.”

If you live in the Northeast, you might be interested in a classified ad site called Uncle Henrys. After Glenn forwarded me an ad for a wagon, I discovered a couple flatties. Except for a few minor issues, this cj-2a looks good.

There were many variations of Auburn’s Jeep-A-Trench. This list shows pricing, width, and depth options.
Glenn spotted this unusual wagon. It is supposed to have a Mercedes diesel engine. Apparently, some type of Advanced Adaptor part was used to mate the engine to the tranny.
“1950’s spilt window Mercedes diesel engine runs good!”
