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 .
Roger Martin spotted this original-condition Nellybelle Roy Rogers pedal jeep.

“1950’s pedal car Nellybelle from Roy Rogers TV show. Bought new tires but not installed. I was debating on restoring but decided to leave as is. Shows value from 2015 auction (not this jeep.) Windshield folds down. Mecum is selling one in September.”
Chris forwarded this nice looking Commando. It appears to have been built by Jeep Viasa and imported from Spain based on the data plate.

This June 28, 1970, article form the Lexington Herald describes tours of Kentucky’s Red River area via a modified FC-170. The business was started by Mr. and Mrs. Joe Bowen with a VW bus, but it’s easy to imagine that a better vehicle was needed.
I looked for additional articles about this endeavor, but didn’t have any luck locating anything.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
This seems worth a look.
“NO TITLE 1949 Willy’s cj3a mostly original. Newer tub and gas tank. Runs and drives. Needs brake work and gauges replaced. No rot. Price is firm”

“Recent rubber, new battery, spare tire, 12-volt conversion, draw bar, back seat, two heaters, title, runs, drives and stops.
FWD & low range engage as they should. Time for it to go to a new home as not enough time to bring it to the next level.”
This may have been a Texaco service station jeep. I can make out “Jerry’s”.

“1958 Willy’s/Jeep Forward Control FC-150. Rusty but complete. Doesn’t run. Engine is apart. Rolls. Title. $1900 cash only. Pick up in Mayville.”
The passenger side has some rust. I can’t tell if it is surface or deep.
