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 like a nice restoration.
“Fully restored 1953 Willy Jeep $8000.00 OBO”
http://mendocino.craigslist.org/cto/1529454336.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was for trade.
“I have a 1947, Willys flat fender 4×4 Jeep that ,due to circumstance, I am looking to trade toward a great running, registerable, vehicle, of equall value. I am a mother of three, and I currently have two vehicles that ,together, don’t add up to fullfill my needs. My Willys has a new paint job, dana 44’s, rancho suspension(front&back), fiber-glass tilt front end, roll cage, full tow package, power breaks, power steering, and more… I Hate to part ways with our jeep, but, a girls gotta do, what a girls gotta do”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $200.
I’m sure someone could use this. This might have the rare “oval” oil filter bracket, but I can’t tell for sure.
“I bought this engine as a spare for my CJ but never used it. The distributor I had rebuilt. L4-134 Info on engine: Willys Jeep Industrial Head: 807763 Block: 804380-W-12-D-P5”
This appears to be a great price on a stock jeep that appears to include a plow.
“In very good condition. All original. Is in process of restoration. Please contact me for more info. Thomas”

In the middle of a football game on ESPN I just witnessed a jaw dropping ad: The Taco Bell Drive Thru Diet. While the fine print claimed it was not a ‘diet plan’, it is clearly being marketed as a Diet Plan. I mean, are they serious?
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
You’ve heard of a barn find, but how about a warehouse find?
“Willies overland last time it was lienced was in 1969 shows 71494 miles no tittle car is complete. Make a good parts car has been stored in warehouse for over 40 yeras”
Here’s a bunch of body parts and more.
“1946 Willy’s Jeep project/parts. No transmission, no transfer case, seized engine. No title but I do have the serial # tags. lots of usable parts. NO SCAMMERS, cash only, NO CASHIERS CHECKS.”

(12/04/09) This looks in great shape for the price.
“Neat little Jeep…fun to drive…V-6 – 3 spd – 4×4 works good – Clutch, transmission & brakes good. It hasn’t been abused or rusted out & I haven’t found any bondo repairs.
I have another project and need room in my garage. My loss – your gain. This is probably the best buy for the money in Oklahoma City. I might consider a pick-up as a trade, but nothing needing paint or repairs. I don’t need another project. Tom … 405-722-0818 or Cell: 405-606-9515.”

Gerald sent me a pic of the Jeep Truck Rod below. After some searching, I found some others. There’s a great thread with various Jeep Rod photos as well, one of which I show below. I suspect this is the first of several Jeep Rods Posts as I suspect other pics will pop up based on the few searches I did this evening.
Here’s a pic from the Jalopy Journal Site:
