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: Still Available

I went to look at this one about a year and a half ago…. I was excited to learn it was a ’45 when the guy gave me the low low VIN# on the phone, but it turned out he was WAY off and it was a ’46. I had a nice drive from Palm Springs thru Borrego Springs and over the mountain to the San Diego suburbs (and back) in a brand new Bentley Convertible… so that part was ok.
It did appear to be a decent “driveable” condition vehicle… It started up ok (12V w/ 6V starter if I remember correctly) and ran ok too. Something was odd about the floor boards or hat channels if I remember correctly…. like they were glued-on 2×4’s or something. Don’t hold me to that, as I’ve looked under 100 of these since then. I didn’t drive it because it wasn’t what I was looking for.

“the last civilian model manufactured and sold in the United States. ” ???
I hope he meant “first”. 🙂
