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: **SOLD** Was $2500.
I don’t recognize the back of the body on this CJ-5.

UPDATE: I think this is a Fiat 501, Series 2, made in the 1920s.
I was testing out my handheld scanner today that mom bought me for Christmas (yeah, I know, about time I did that). It turns out, it works pretty well! I decided to try scanning some of the 1924 images from my grandfather’s trip around Europe and Northern Africa.
My question is, anyone know what type of car this is? I believe it may be a Durant Motor Company 1923 Flint e-55? Grandpa appears to refer to it as the ‘Flea’, but the only two notations I have are kind of blurred.
I don’t know if they imported the car or bought/rent/borrowed it when they got to France, but they had plenty of resources, so it could have been any one of those. The thing I couldn’t match up was the grille — I couldn’t find any grilles that matched the front of the grille below.
And though it might not be a jeep, I suspect traveling around Europe without a full top was as adventurous as any jeep trip would have been (they did have a light, but airy top they could throw over themselves)! They started in France, traveled through Spain and into Northern Africa. They returned by ship to Marseilles, drove throughout Italy, then headed north through Switzerland and into Germany. They ended the trip in France then took a plane to the UK. I have over 400 photos, many of popular landmarks, making their path easier to track. I hope to recreate part of the trip some day.
UPDATE: The price reached $75,000, but did not reach the reserve.
