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 .

Once again, there are a variety of jeeps for sale that I don’t have time to list. I have not looked these over very carefully. In no particular order:
I am guessing this is for a Mule M-274? This is a parts engine. Thanks to Andy for sharing. Seller does not want to ship.

“Recent complete 200 hour restoration on a M274A3 military mule. For those that don’t know the A3 model is a retrofitted M274 with a 2 cylinder engine replacing the troublesome original 4 cylinder. This is 4 wheel drive like every model of mule and it is a 4 wheel steer model as well. Runs and drives excellently. The hour meter is NOS, but doesn’t work. Currently this has less than an hour on the whole vehicle.
I have listed the new reproduction and New Old Stock parts with the prices for those who do not know that mules are not cheap to restore and they take time to complete. Hence the reason they cost money. Some can not grasp this concept and apparently work for free. I will not answer any “is this still available messages” and I will take the listing down when it is no longer available.
