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: A reader at Wes’ offroadaction site noted that these are likely pictures of smoke testing rather than chemical testing as claimed by the Tribune. You can view Harold’s response here.
I spotted these pics at the Salt Lake Tribune’s online site. I wish there were more close ups of the equipment.

This classic 80’s build makes me drool, even with the exterior cooling fan. It even comes equipped with a hot water shower, multiple batteries and a welder. I’m digging the creativity.

Those are the first ‘skull pedals’ I’ve seen.
“1948 CJ2A Willys Jeep this is one of the if not the best CJ2A Willys out there!

AND new axle seals front and back, new fuel, brake and gas lines, new gas tank and fuel pump. New brakes, master cylinder, wheel cylinders and seals, new gauges (gas, volts, oil, water and speedo).

There may be some value here.
“This Jeep is a restoration project. It is a complete unit. Has not been on the road for about 10 years. The motor is not the original it is a 1950’s 6 cyl flat head Continental. The motor if kept will need a rebuild. The transmission is original and works fine but will need new seals. The rear end was rebuilt. The front end works fine. The canvas top might be salvagable but is not in the best shape. It has bucket seats which are not original.It is still a 6 volt system.”
