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 $1000.
There might be some value here.

Gerald forwarded me some classic offroad postcards he owns. He says he’s got some more and I look forward to see them! These three cards take us across the country.
We start at Cape Cod:
Here is a card from South Dakota:
Finally, here’s a shot from the Oregon Dunes.
A frustrated reader named ‘john doe’ emailed me tonight, leaving me an email with no return address. ‘John’ was frustrated because many of the links related to vehicles for sale are no longer valid. ‘John’s’ frustration with this issue isn’t unreasonable; however, I keep the content for my purposes and for historical purposes (sometimes comments are attached to them for example).
To better answer ‘John’, and to remind readers, here is what I put in the FAQ section:
Craigslist Ads expire at different rates depending on where the ad is located. In many cases, Ads are repeated. In some cases, they aren’t re-listed even though the jeep remains for sale. So, I always err on the side of ‘for sale’ unless contacted by someone or unless the ad is deleted by the author.
The overall goal is to get a sense of how these old flat fenders are priced so that both buyers and sellers have a better sense of their local and national market.
Finally, in some cases these jeeps provided a teaching tool to show others something unique or unusual about the jeep.
So, to get the most out of this site, you are best off reviewing it every day or every other day to see what’s been added.
In addition, if you are looking for a particular jeep in a particular area and the search tool isn’t helping, just contact me (d@ewillys.com) and I’ll be happy to help you.
What I won’t be doing is deleting old content simply because it is old, though I do delete various posts when I think they no longer meets my needs.
What I would be willing to do is pay someone to build a better search tool so that posts can be searched by dates. However, to do that I’d have to raise some money from readers, as I don’t have the experience to build that plugin. If there’s an interest in this feature, and thus an interest in having me add a donation button to pay programmers to improve the site, then I’m open to that option.
Thanks,

This sure looks like a great price. Brakes aren’t expensive to fix.

This looks like a nice jeep to be parting it out. The top is a bestop and appears in good condition.
“Lots of good parts and lots of good prices.

(04/22/09) This M-38 has reversed front springs, updated steering column and dash, a full cage and some power from a 327.
“This is a great Jeep and ready to roll. You can tow it (tow bar included) or drive it to your hunting camp. Overdrive. Power steering. Warn hubs. Other extras. More Pictures HERE!”
Apparently, it only needs a few things to run, though nothing is mentioned about needing lights, parking lights, etc.
“53 willys wagon. 72hp 4cyl, will run w/ fuel cell, pump, radiator, n battery. Or make yard art? $600 o.b.o.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4250.
This looks like a good price on a nicely updated CJ-2A.
“47 Jeep Flat Fender with 350 fuel injected chev with T465 4sp and 205 transfer case. Detroit lockers front nd rear, marlin crawler alloy front axles, 35X12.5 tires (50%), power steering and brakes, Chev tilt wheel w/working turn sigs, amfmcd, tow bar, Best top & bimini top, 8000# Warn winch, aluminum radiator, heater & more.
