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 good price.

“selling 40s willy jeep looks rought but good for parts, no rear end, call for offers”
The seller refers to this as a project, but then says this runs and drives great. Given this has a Warn OD, this looks to be a great price.
“It has a 231 buick v6, stock 3 speed trans, Warn overdrive on transfer case. Body is in good condition, has carpet kit in all of tub. Diamond plate rockers and side armor. Good deal, I have too many projects and cant get to this. Runs and drives great. Call me David (509) 590-7764”

Craig has this FJ for sale. It appears he collects and/or photographs a variety of ice cream related vehicles. Check out all his pics on Flickr.
Craig writes, “I have a 1964 Jeep Willys FJ6 Fleetvan that I’m selling if anyone is interested. It’s an original 1964 Kaiser Jeep FJ-6 postal truck, or fleetvan. Was used as an ice cream truck but has been sitting for a few years…”

Here’s an image of a truck from Craigs portfolio that’s not for sale and is not a jeep of any kind, but is an unusual ice cream truck.
UPDATE: David wrote to tell me he is moving his website to earlymb.webs.com. So update your bookmarks. His move is a result of the geocities shutdown.
The earlymb.com website snuck up on me. I didn’t think there was much here, but the more I dug, the more I found. There’s an extensive book list, link list, a list on the differences between a GPW and MB, a list on the differences between an MB and a Hotchkiss M201, pics and more.
The website’s owner, David appears to live in the Netherlands. He shows many pics from a jeep he restored, but it doesn’t appear to be the same jeep that’s on the front page.
I tested a few of the links for the list of links, and at least some were out of date.
I found this build through Usenet of all places (long story) on Pirate 4×4. What I liked about it was that this body was pretty much toast, but the builder has done a nice job of resurrecting it for his project. Below is a picture of his replacement hat channels and replacement of the triangle piece at the front of the body.
There’s plenty of pics and plenty of customization. It’s definitely a project still.
