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 .
This original version of “Watch Me, said the jeep” book sold for $41 on eBay.
I ran across this children’s book today. I’d never seen nor heard of it before. I’ve bundled it into a PDF file from pics on the internet. It was written by Helen Farris and illustrated by Tibor Gergley. She has another book in PDF form called The Red, White, and Blue Automobile.
This ad highlights the Fairchild’s C-119’s ability to provide ‘special delivery’ of fully assembled equipment to remote locations.

It’s a project.
“I have a 1949 Jeep willy. It was a rebuild project that was given to me a few years ago and I have gotten pretty far but I don’t have the time to finish, and I need to get it out of the garage.
The Chase I sand blasted and Painted with POR15. It is in excellent condition.
The Engine is the original 4 cylinder, I did a complete rebuild and paint job. The two of the cylinder walls were a little rough, and she is a little smoky when running, but runs well.
The transmission I didn’t do much, new clutch, pilot bearing, and paint job.
The body was the tough part. I replaced the floor board, and tool box (under passenger seat). I went around and cut out all the rust and replaced it with fresh steal. I started the bondo and sanding process but I am out of time.
I know $3000 is a lot to ask for a rebuild project, Im hoping to breaking even. Make me an offer.”

This appears in good shape.
“Complete original factory option Koenig pto winch, Koenig bumper, Koenig cable guard, Gear box and drive line. This is a super rare addition to your willys truck or wagon. It also has shackles that can be removed for a tow bar to be mounted not included. This hole unit came off of a wagon and will also fit a pickup. The winch was taken a part cleaned and lubricated. Everything has been re painted and ready to be put on your vehicle.”
