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: Read Stephen’s report about this in the comments.
This looks good.

I had a friend of mine up in OR check it out to buy it for me if it was in decent shape. I just got off the phone with him. When I talked to the owner, he pretty much said, “hook up the battery and it will start right up”. When my buddy got there, no go. By his words, engine acted locked up and starter and cables were heating up badly from trying to turn it over. Will need new tires to tow. Hitch is bent. Looks like it has been leaking oil from either the head or main. Hard to tell as the cowl was tough to see around. Some one might be able to look deeper into it, but I passed. He will probably negotiate on the price as well.
I don’t want to scare anyone off, just anticipate a parts unit or project 🙂
Thanks for the report on this!
