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 .

“Old ice race Jeep 355 sbc Turbo 400 trans Rear Ford 9” with disk brakes Front dana44 5.29 gears.”
This image was included as part of the sale of a CJ-6 axle (pumpkin removed). It’s an ice-racer with an extended body and a mustang convertible top (reminiscent of the DJ-3A convertible top). It’s sort of an art-car ice-racer. Nice to see folks just having fun with their rigs.
According to the seller of the axle, “I used the [CJ-6] tub and frame to extend a CJ3B to add a Mustang convertible top.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Former ice racing jeep.

This is a former ice-racing jeep. This could well be worth a look at this price.
“Titled as 1964 Jeep CJ five, has 1978 CJ5 frame in axles, Dana 30 front with disc brakes and 4:88 gears, Dana 20 rear axle was solid axles and power lock with 4:88 gears, 400 small block Chevy with aluminum intake and edelbrock carb MSD 6AL ignition, Turbo 400 transmission and Dana 300 transfer case, full cage rollbar, the complete body except the windshield frame is fiberglass. This jeep was used for ice racing in Georgetown Colorado so it has steering brakes on the front brakes and a line lock steering break, the lights are on the jeep but not currently wired for the street. If you want to ice race, this is competitive competition jeep but can also wire the lights and put it on the street.$4000 is a great price for all you were getting. I also have a set of competitive studs for sale and set of Competitive bear rubber tires I would sell.”
CJ-5 set up for ice racing in Georgetown, Colorado. Unfortunately, racing was cancelled this last winter as the lake ice didn’t get thick enough to allow racing.
