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 .
This looks pretty stock.
“This Jeep has been sitting out in the elements for a long time…the sale is as is and you must move. Great restoration project. 750.00 or best offer. Have clear title and one owner vehicle. Cash only.”

UPDATE: WAS $3000. **SOLD**
(06/15/2010) This looks like a nicely updated, though the brakes need some work.
“JEEP HAS A 350 CHEVY ENGINE, MUNCIE 4 SPEED, TILT STEERING WHEEL AND A EXTRA GAS TANK. THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION HAVE NO ISSUES. IT WAS DRIVEN DAILY UNTIL THE BRAKES QUIT WORKING PROPERLY. I’M NOT SURE BUT IT MAY NEED A MASTER CYLINDER OR MAYBE JUST AJUSTING.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
(12/22/2010) Looks like a reasonable price.
“1947 Jeep, good shape, 1954 engine, runs and drives but could use a little work. Dont know to much about it, just kinda ended up with it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
Looks like a good rig.
“Spring over lift with new 35 inch toyo mts all stock running gear except 4.3 liter chev motor new winch full canvas and bikini top with half doors . Runs great. Possible trade barter”
For all the couples out there, I will not take the blame for distracting your man (or woman) tonight. So, Happy Valentine’s Day! (In other words, no updates tonight)
HOG forward this video and link to Bang Shift of an engine exploding in the Netherlands. In the comments section, a commenter had some additional explosions. So, here are a few of the videos from youtube (there are others).
2 explosions to the same tractor in 2008 and 2009
PapaJack spotted this cool find. They seem a pretty good price considering they both run. You might remember this unusual jeep also from Hawaii listed last night (& just down the road from Kona, Hi).
“two willies military jeeps ,, a 42 and a 43 both run ,, but not street legal,, but maybe could be street legal. great for coffee farm work or off road. runs good with lots of spare parts and goodies. fun to drive ,,cheap on gas cheap 4×4,s ”
Looks nice.
“Excellent four wheeler, totally tricked out and ready for summer fun and fall hunting season. Everything restored to original or improved. Call Bill @ (360)509-7322.”
