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 .

“1947 Willys Jeep hardtop was completely restored 8 years ago for the
purpose of using it in the deer woods. I bought a four wheeler instead and
it was left to sit. Front tires are dry rotted. Needs sand and paint job as well as all
new fluids, oil, and battery. Other than that she’s a runner! Will be sold as is.
Serious inquiries only”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4400.
(05/18/2013) Some paint might make this look nice, but it sounds like there may be some mechanical issues.
“I have a 1966 jeep cj6 that is in need of someone with more time then I have. It does run. It is running a factory 225ci dauntless v6 with a T86aa transmission, and a danna 18 transfercase.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800

“here is a good project a raer old jeep van body is solid shows serfes rust no motor or transmition build it the way you want.
Not much original GPW here (maybe only the body).
“As the pictures show, this is a very rough car. I bought it as a piece of history that I planned on playing with off road. It drove when I parked it because the brakes didn’t work. The 4 wheel drive worked fine. It is loud and smoked badly. I have many extra parts for it including an aluminum gas tank and headlight replacements that convert the system to the modern lights while preserving the look, also brake parts. This year was made solely for the military. I have a signed title that hasn’t been transferred by the last 2 owners. If you’re handy, I think, you can get it off road ready. If your rich you could possibly restore it (ha ha). Otherwise, it would be a good parts car.I have a person wanting it Sunday so it will not be available unless he doesn’t show. Email me or call 918 617-5791. I’m in poor cell phone reception area but will return your calls”

“I have a Jeep Willy CJ2A for sale, Runs good but needs pull started right now. We have no time to restore it or drive it (to many other toys and hobbies). This has been in the family a long time and comes from South Dakota so there is maybe just a small spot with rust if any. I know for sure it needs new seats and windsheild. We also have a set of after market wheels and tires for it. call anytime for more details. “six four one-485-0026”

No, the sign isn’t referencing the Beatles; it’s explaining an earlier invasion by Brits playing musical muskets.
On Tuesday June 4th: we drove from Pulaski, New York, to Buffalo, New York.
On Tuesday June 4th we drove from Pulaski, New York, to Buffalo, New York.
Last night I got a “really good deal” on a motel room in Pulaski, New York. Strangely, no one else showed up at the motel. We had the entire place to ourselves. To make it odder, the supposed two-star place was only of one-star quality. The whole place had an odd vibe. We had no desire to stay any longer than need-be, so we departed early in the morning.
Our first stop today was the beach at Oswego, NY, near Fort Ontario. There, we looked out onto the fourth Great Lake of our trip: Lake Ontario. The warm temperatures of the past few days turned to a bone chilling 67 degrees … Brrr. We almost had to put on jackets!
Henry taking a well deserved rest at Lake Ontario.
From there we drove to the State University of New York at Oswego. We met with a reference librarian in the hope she could find more information on Dorothy Rogers, the author of Jeopardy and a Jeep and Highways Across the Horizons. The librarian provided some reference material that led to additional biographical information, but it didn’t prove useful.
After our library trip, our next stop was in Seabreeze, NY, where we found a diner near a park called, not surprisingly, the Parkside Diner. Our food was very good.
Somehow we didn’t get a picture of this place. So, here’s one from Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kewing/7778492628/in/set-72157624608428385
The strange part about our experience was that as we waited for the check, Ann and I started to hear some strange sounds from the booth in back of us. It sounded like a little kids TV show that seemed, intellectually, one step above Teletubbies. The sounds were loud enough that the grating voice would have disturbed us if we were still eating.
Fortunately, moments later our bill arrived. We dropped the money on the table. I stood and turned to see what was making the racket. I discovered a couple behind us had placed a phone on a table so they could watch a television show. They seemed completely unaware (or uncaring) that the obnoxious show might disturb anyone else. Ann exited the restaurant asking, “Really? Who does that? Who plays a TV loud enough to disturb other people in a restaurant??”
Just before we left, I took a picture of the offending couple. If you see these two ‘kids’, beware that they have no awareness for others around them. The red colored phone is propped up against the white container of sugar.
We arrived in Northeast Buffalo soon after our lunch. We napped, then I worked. Wednesday June 5th is my birthday, so there won’t be any updates and we have no plans, other than to rest and find some good food. We’ll be here through Saturday.
Wednesday June 5th: Day off 🙂
On Thursday, we have a variety of plans in North Tonawanda, New York.
