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 .
Tom shared these Warn Hubs for sale.

“Vintage early “waffle” style Jeep summer hubs in original box. Instructions are in awesome shape. Collectible classic set.”
I don’t think that the terms “Austin Champ” and “easy project” should ever be used in the same sentence. I’ve never seen one of these trailers for sale. Thanks to Bill for the link.

“Austin Champ 1951 to 1956 British jeep with very rare trailer motor turns not running easy project has Rolls Royce motor first $7000 takes them”
Lots of work complete, but still needs the engine reassembled.

“Frame off restoration nearly complete. I have almost all the new parts to reassemble and install the rebuilt engine. Transmission and transfer case already rebuilt & installed. All steering, suspension, and brake parts replaced. Includes hard top and several extra parts. Make a deal in person, need to sell.”
Unclear how much value is here.

“Engine is stuck and missing the carburetor. Comes with a replacement hood. Tub is rough. Frame is nice. Would be a good candidate for a repower and new tub. Don’t ask me if price is negotiable if you aren’t standing here with cash. No title, bill of sale only”
The body looks rough.

“1952 Willys 4 cyl, 4×4. $6000 OBO.”
Unclear if it runs.

“1948 CJ2A true survivor, recently shipped up from Texas. No frame rot, all original. Over $2k worth of new parts from Kaiser Willy’s. All ready to go for restoration, old registration and bill of sale with ownership history. I don’t want to sell but I have to, looking to sell fast and flexible on price”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay2000.
Andy’s got this parts or project for sale.
“Late 40s willys CJ2a. Fair condition but complete. Good source of parts or restore. Sorry no title just bill of sale thanks and check out my other CJ‘s for sale”
I just purchased this Tour Jeep postcard off of eBay that shows an FC-170 tour jeep in the Virgin Islands in 1968. I searched for additional information on FC jeeps in the Virgin Islands, without success.
Back in 1987 (like 10 lifetimes ago!) I toured St. Thomas in a tiny Suzuki Samarai and in the back of a taxi. The FC would have been a much cooler way to see the island.
The Clemson 4-Wheeler Center shared this vintage 1978 Hinkle’s brochure. Hinkle’s billed themselves as the world’s largest jeep dealer.
The center seats shown on page 9 for the CJs was something I don’t think I’ve seen. I also thought it was interesting that the company listed X-style and PCV-style Desert Dogs, but not the standard type.
Tom shared this rebuilt CJ-5. I haven’t seen an early KS speedometer with that tall of bezel (outer circle). Maybe it is the light color of the outer ring that is throwing me off.
