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: Roger Martin bought this rare color Sturdee brochure and shared some pics with us. This is a cool item!

Originally published March 26, 2018: This is the only information I could find on this rare hardtop.
This modified jeep has benign storage for about four decades. It’s supposedly a Metamet prototype, so, if true, this should be of interest to Metamet fans.

“1948 Jeep Willys CJ2A, Runs good, New Top, Good Tires, Stock”
UPDATE: **SOLD** What we may be seeing is a CJ-5 Renegade I that was built in late 1970. So, even though it was a 1970 production, it is considered a 1971 model. There is a discussion about that here: http://www.earlycj5.com/xf_cj5/index.php?threads/45677/
The engine has been updated, but the Renegade stripes and purple color are still there.
