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 .

“1954 Jeep CJ3B. Complete and original. Missing windshield and has added roll bar. Runs but needs TLC and work. This Jeep was used for off-road hunting and farm use. It can be used the same way with verry little work and money. This could be a fun easy project. I already have 2 other jeeps that I use that way and don’t have the time to work on another. I do not have a title but the VIN tag is still on the fire wall. I will sell with a Bill of Sale.”

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was listed at $2200.
This truck looks like a good foundation for a project. It does not run.
“I have a 1952 willies jeep i inherited from my grandpa. It is currently just sitting because I just graduated high school and don’t have the money to fix it up.
The body is in excellent condition. The interior is okay. It however, does not run.
Getting rid of this is something I am not looking forward to because it was from my grandpa and I would love to be able to keep it. I just do not want to see it sitting wasting away. This is a great project if you’re into old school vehicles.
Hard to tell how much value is here.
“I have a 1953 willy’s jeep that i would like to part out or sell. the tub is rotted but front clip is good. The frame and drive train are complete.

UPDATE: I posted this article back in 2010. It’s been a few years, so I wondered if anyone newer to eWillys knows anything about the York-Hoovers?
A few days ago I was searching and came across a reference to the York-Hoover prototype. I’d never heard of the York-Hoover All-Terrain Prototype, but according to the YorkBlog, such a vehicle existed and could be viewed at the York County Heritage Trust’s Agricultural and Industrial Museum in Pennsylvania. So, I contacted the museum and received a response from the curator notifying me a few years ago the vehicle had been moved to the Motts Military Museum in Columbus, Ohio. I tried contacting Motts, but had no success.
Anyone familiar with this story or the vehicle?
According to yorkblog.com, “Before World War II, the York-Hoover Body Co. produced a prototype for a military vehicle that could navigate all types of terrain. The company then successfully completed orders for 69 more vehicles.
But, alas, York-Hoover turned down another order for 4,500 sturdy vehicles because it had pledged its resources elsewhere. Future work on the Jeep, with the York-made design and minor modifications, went to Willys Co. and the Ford Motor Co.”
