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.

This has a tempest slat 4 cyl. It looks like someone did a nice job of installing the updated steering column as well. Here’s a built example of the same motor.
Here is a link to a Jalopy Journal thread about 4cyls. The Mercruiser 3.7 and the Ford 2.3s seemed to be a favorite for fun 4cyl installs.

HOG pointed out these unusual tent trailers. This comes from an article at Jpfreek.com about outfitting a multi-day adventure.
UPDATE: It turns out this was a MB (was listed as a ’46). And it sold to the first caller. It was listed at $2500.
There’s value, but I can’t quite tell how much. The might be a WWII body.

Bob is selling his truck. It has NO rust and has a recently rebuilt engine. It would likely make a great restoration candidate.
“Pickup has been in barn the last 6 years, has been run periodically, no rust. Bought for retirement project, now have no time for it. It has: Rebuilt 4 cylinder engine (original was a six),3 speed with high/low 4 WD, manual overdrive, clear title.”
UPDATE: Was for sale for $1900. Status unknown.
There might be some value here. The seller wants to get rid of this.
“Hi , I’ve got a 1952 Jeep Willys that has been sitting in my garage for quite a while now. It’s not in great shape , but for the most part still pretty solid. Has some rust , has a hole in front drivers floor board. It’s a 6 volt system , but if I remember correctly , my father in law told me it was converted to 12 volt. All the glass is original , as well as the body and interior parts.It’s interior has been mostly gutted. The motor is original to my knowledge and was overhauled not long before it was put in storage. It’s full time 4 wheel drive , but the front axle was taken out by my father in law , I believe to help with fuel mieage , when he was driving it. I have been wanting to fix it up , but with bills and kids , it’s not going to happen for a while longer. ”
