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.
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: On further review, I have a number of issues with this jeep, given the price. See comments.
It’s an auction of sorts.

You’d think the slate on the grille would break if you hit something…what’s up with those rims?
Yeah, I thought the same thing. A strange choice for a $20k+ price demand.
Is that the proper rear diff? I thought it should be a full floating unit
You are right. I didn’t take this jeep too seriously because of the price, but I’ve had a funny feeling about it — the it-is-a-scam feeling.
It is missing a gauge, it has the wrong steering wheel, it has the wrong dash plate, the front shackle is mounted wrong, it is missing seats …. something’s not right.
Even the front tires are different sizes!
oh wait .. there are 3 dash plates. My bad.
…..oil canister misplaced, air filter incorrect, and are the seats optional?
WOW..you guys were pretty tough on this one. If this is in fact a fall (Nov/Dec) 1941 Slat Grill (And the serial number on the dash plate or the front frame will tell) if restored this jeep is worth every penny of $20K. In its present condition I’d value it at $4-6K.
I’ve started with worse than this and brought them back to original granduer. Also, Steering wheel looks correct to me..slatties and most early MB’s had full black sheller steering wheels..the shortages of materials (which caused the steerring wheel to change and have bare steel spokes) didn’t happen until well into 1942.
You are correct Steve; there is some value, but not $20k +
It’s the fact this guy wants 20 grand for what’s there that gets me. I agree that in pristine condition, and restored to original specs it would be worth it. This vehicle is FAR from that.
