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 .

I don’t understand ad’s without prices.
Agreed, Buzz. And what’s up with the guys who list their location as USA? I see that often on Ebay ads too.. A simple google of the email revealed the location as Versailles, Indiana.
I have found from both sides of the fence that not listing a price severely drops the number of responses to an ad. Most guys I have talked to have the impression that no proice listed means the guy is either going to feel you out for how much he can get from ya (IE No set price) or they are a dreamer on value, attempting to get way too much for a part. This individual could be asking a perfectly fine price, but why not put it out there so the potential buyer can decide if they want to spend whatever it is on the parts before even contacting the seller?
It is the same for cars on your front lawn with no price. Recently I saw a 2A for sale, was traveling thru the area. The owner had 5 vehicles for sale, every one had a nice for sale sign taped ot the inside of the glass. Not one had a phone number to call , or a price, or even the year of the car they were in. Needless to say, I didn’t pursue it any further.
Most vehicle purchases are not a case of absolute necessity. Same goes for parts purchased for a classic jeep. If the sellers make it easier for the buyer to understand what, where, and how much, chances are more sales will be made and faster too.
Hey DJ Bill, I agree completely. What’s with people these days? I go to a auto flea market and if I see something without a price, I feel it’s not even worth asking, it’s like they want to size you up before making up the price depending on how you are dressed or something. That’s not a game I want to play.
