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 .
A Cypress, Texas, M-38 owner is looking for a Jeep Club. So, naturally, he placed an ad on craiglist. If you know of a club in the area, email him through the Ad. His M-38 looks nice.

I hadn’t seen this before today.
This looks real nice. I’m pretty sure those speakers in the back aren’t factory!

HOG forwarded this. I know very little about older bikes, so it was interesting to see how complex starting one of these old machines was.

No pics provided. Shep forwarded this.
“Used 6 1/2 ft Fisher snow plow with power angle and lift. Previous owner had adapted plow to fit a Willys FC150 but was originally for a Jeep CJ. Brackets were modified back for use on 1985 Jeep CJ. Most brackets are unmolested but it may not be a direct bolt on. Rebuilt and used three seasons then stored indoors. New valve body, new lights, new hoses, new guide sticks, new cables for joystick control, sandblasted and painted. No photos available as of yet. Located in Greenup, IL. Call Jerry at 217-778-4108.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
“I have a Jeep CJ 3A for sale. I purchased it from my father in law. It ran and drove a few years ago, but his “mechanic” took the motor out of it a few years ago and completely disassembled it. All of the parts were left outside, I gathered as many pieces as I could find, but I don’t know what is good and what is no longer useful. I think it is the “Go Devil” engine. I have the head, block, crank, starter, air intake, carb and a few other odds and ends. I was going to try to restore it but it is much too big of a project for me. The body has some surface rust, but I think the frame is good, the tub is marginal (big dent on driver’s side) and the hood and fenders are probably a lost cause. I beleive the axles and tranny are okay, but I’m not sure. No title, no vin, sold as parts. $500 takes it all. No trades, offers accepted. ”
