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 .
Blaine spotted this unusual jeep go kart in a Hemmings article about the 2011 Hershey, PA, swapmeet.

Interesting, but “top notch craftsmanship”?
“1958 Willys Wagon RAT ROD. Recently finished and highly executed. One of the most unique and well put together street rods available. Expensive parts throughout and dozens of hours of labor were required to produce the vehicle you see in these pictures.
This is registered and titled as a 1958 Willys and has period correct California plates. The body has been chopped and channeled and is mounted on a completely custom hand built frame.
This Rat Rod runs strong, is well sorted and very driveable. All gauges and lights are fully functional. The craftsmanship on this build is top notch. Parts alone on this rod would cost more than the asking price.
1930 Model A front suspension, super bell dropped axle 4″, with 39 Ford truck wheels and juice brakes. Rear axle is a Ford 9″ from a 72 pickup with 3.73 ratio. Standard leaf spring rear suspension. Transmission is a rebuilt C6 Auto out of a Heavy Duty Ford pickup.
The motor is a rebuilt 1968 390 bored .040 over with a new Edelbrock carb and custom exhaust pipes with baffles. Steering box is 74 Ford Pickup. Hydraulic brakes all around.
Please call with questions 415 626 1135”
