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 rusted very nicely over time.

“This “Barn Find” is a 1947 Willys custom jeep! The original builder and owner worked as an engineer at SAC and also owned a Suds and Dogs restaurant. At one time it was a plow truck for winter and has a pto on the back for mowing grass in the spring and summer. Rusty!! Needs restoring. The motor is not original it is a ford falcon 6 seems to be stuck. Have no Idea about the transmission but do know that the drive shaft will spin if you lift the tires off the ground. The pto drive shaft also spins.”

Omix-Ada’s President, Al Azadi, has a jeep collection that totals at least 20 jeeps, including some prototypes (see six of his jeeps below). At the November 5-7 2013 Sema Show in Las Vegas, he’ll be showing off a portion of their collection.
You can see more about the collection @ http://www.jeepcollection.com or learn more about the event at http://www.off-road.com/blog/2013/10/22/omix-ada-debuts-historic-jeep-collection-at-2013-sema-show/
You might remember Juan’s jeeps and his story from a post in October 2012. Well, here are some more photos. I love this first photo of Juan and some friends that are shown with his truck. He was part of a movie shoot.
Here are some of Juan’s jeeps:
I don’t know how many divorces eWillys has caused, but Hugh is pretty sure he’d be in trouble if he was married.
Hugh writes, “If it wasn’t for ewillys i wouldn’t have found these jeeps. Got them one year apart and have learned a tremendous amount between ewillys and the cj2a page. I have a highly modified jeep and a purist jeep. Your website is great Dave but costing me alot of money! Good thing im not married.”
Here’s Larry (left) and Moe (right). Larry is a fiberglass jeep that Hugh’s been slowly transforming into a MBish jeep. Moe is a pretty stock CJ-2A that hugh plans on continuing to restore as money allows. 
Here are some before and after photos of Larry. Hugh’s keeping his budget tight and enjoying giving his jeep some military character. It just shows how little changes can make a big difference.

Charles forwarded these photos. The first shows a jeep from 1944. Fast forward to 2013 and we have another jeep (not the same one) being rebuilt in this same location. It’s a nice bit of history.
