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 .
These Facebook photos from Alfano Mucci of Italy show a customized jeep with a bandsaw. The work was done by his father. Pretty cool!
Now that I’ve seen two of these repurposed bodies on Facebook, does that mean this is a trend?
Looks like some kind of replacement body:
Roger shared this photo from Facebook showing another example of a sedan hardtop on a jeep (link includes other car-like modes, too). I’ve been amazed at how many different times this was tried (see other examples here).
A few days ago I posted a video about the oil barrel cars in Thailand. Here’s some more info about them thanks to Bill.

This has an updated engine. It doesn’t run. Still, this may be worth a look. The paint/trim numbers seem to confirm the this may have been a Surrey (148 is the body paint color for Tropical Rose/Coral Mist aka “pink”).

“1 of 1100 made. The VIN tag confirms the pink paint underneath the blue redo makes the Jeep I have a “Surrey” or “Gala” I don’t know the history of the Jeep, I did talk to the PO who had the bucket sets and a Ford V6 Cologne motor from a Pinto put in it. He had no idea what it was. As it sits now it is not running. I have ordered the parts for the ignition including a Duraspark II distributor. I’ve done an oil change and coolant change. I’ve only had the Jeep a month or so and didn’t realize what I was buying. The body is really straight and surprisingly rust free. There are a couple <6″ spots under the passenger seat I found when I pulled up the carpet. It’s registered in CA as an Historical Vehicle. Registration is not current, but the title is in my hand and is clear. The Jeep is currently “not in the system” so there’s no back fees to be paid. Not sure what else to put, I’m new to the Willys game.”
Seems worth a look.

Running, driving and stopping with brakes gone thru, engine rebuilt by p o no records but it sounds great, does not smoke or make any odd noises, good clutch, 12v starter, 12v alternator works as is (but will need bracket redone and pulley replaced) 12v headlights and tail light. Rust on floorboard repaired wth metal (not welded) but screws and silicone, tiny holes on bottom of passenger door(see pics)… New points, cap, rotor, coil, wires and new battery, new aluminum radiator and water pump. Has overdrive but needs solenoid and something else installed to make it electrical (parts are included) will need wiring addressed as it’s original and gauges are 6 volt so not hooked up… currently registered and title in my name .. reason for selling… C10 truck and 3 more projects… might consider trade for low mileage Ext cab short bed truck (prefer Chevy) $12k is trade price will consider cash offer only in person..”
Given the parts, there seems to be value here.
