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 .
It’s a project.

A good digital example of Joe Dope slamming on his brakes from the National Archives:
This is a curious model. It looks like someone may have been trying to make a Willys MA.The grille and the double gauges make me think that. Just how ‘vintage’ it might be isn’t clear to me. It’s currently priced at $189.99. No description provided.

Previously Posted February 11, 2019: These images were posted on Facebook and the toy jeeps attributed to Boeing. However, as a commenter pointed out below, these were actually produced by Western Toy Company in 1959. Here are some other examples.
(02/11/2019) These jeeps are pictured in front of the old Seattle Art Museum (we did field trips there in high school) which is inside Volunteer Park in Seattle, Washington.
This has a variety of updates, including a large-glass windshield.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on a BAT auction.
This bring-a-trailer auction was spotted by Sam.
“This 1957 Willys Jeep Forward Control FC-150 was purchased in 1982 by the seller’s uncle and was acquired by the seller approximately six years ago. Power comes from a 134ci Hurricane inline-four paired with a three-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case, and the truck is finished in green and white over a green vinyl interior. Equipment includes locking front hubs along with a shovel, axe, and spare mounted to the side of the bed. Work performed under current ownership has consisted of a refresh of the brakes and carburetor, as well as a 12-volt electrical conversion and replacement of the tires and shocks. This FC-150 is now being offered at no reserve with an uninstalled replacement exhaust system and door panels, manufacturer’s literature, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.”
