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 .
Want to build a Pinewood Derby jeep? Check out this ‘how-to’ article from Scrollsawer.com. A pattern is also available there too.
Steve forwarded a picture of the Pinewood Derby jeep his stepson Larry made when he was fourteen. Steve notes that Larry probably got the idea from looking at Steve’s Jeepster.
Anyone else have a Derby Jeep?
This is cool. The starting bid is $12,000 though.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
This doesn’t run. It’s priced a bit high for a non-runner.
“Willys Jeep with the flathead in it, have all the parts to fix it up but don’t have the time or money~
It was my first car, and the starter blew once my dad pulled up to our house in it. I am not sure what people would want to hear about it so e-mail me with questions please.. She is a-bit of a project but nothing more than a weekend or two of work just to get it running. She’d be a great car once running. I just need a different car for college and such. I would keep her if I could. Please contact me as soon as possible if you want to come to look!”
These may be a good price.

UPDATE: Roberto completed his drawing. Click on the link below to see how it progressed.
UPDATE: Bob reports the vehicle arrived safely in Ohio. He verified that the frame is a Ford and the body is well-built.
He reports, “The thing looks pretty solid and seems to be made out of thick steel and very well made. I just can’t imagine some guy in his garage making this thing, but I could be wrong. Someone updated the running gear with a mustang straight 6, auto trans and the mustang differential. You can clearly see where it was column shift originally, and the frame is definitely a 46 ford.”
