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 .
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).

No motor. Appears the dash has been changed some.
“1944 Willys Jeep without motor, not parting it out, $500 takes the whole thing. Good for parts or restoration. $500 I have the title ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
The engine isn’t original.
“Running and driving WW II Army Jeep. It has a Jeep four cylinder engine but not the original flat head. The brakes need work. The body has rust and will require repair if it is to be restored to as new condition. Still has its original identification tags affixed to it and has a California title. The Ramsey winch works. This is a project and is priced accordingly, if you’re looking for a mint condition Jeep then this is not the one for you.”
UPDATE: Was $3200. **SOLD**
The pic is a bit fuzzy.
“jeep is in great shape runs good call 4 info”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600
“This Jeep was given to me by a friend who’s grandfather died and left it to him. He lost the title so it only comes with a bill of sale. The granddad has owned it for many many years.
It sure not perfect and won’t win any beauty contests but he did have it running and driving about 2 years ago. As far as I can tell it’s pretty much complete and original and for the most part un-molested. This jeep is 65 years old so I would much rather you plan for the worst and hope for the best than be disappointed in any way-now that having been said I can’t imagine a better project jeep for the price. ”
