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: **SOLD** Was $5000
It’s part of a moving sale. No description provided. Looks like it’s in good shape.

So I’ve often wondered… Is is sacrilege to repaint a jeep that’s painted army green if it’s really not a true military willys? I think not, but thoughts on that?
Hmmm … sacrilege … my thoughts are, if you own the vehicle you can do what you want. That’s what ‘ownership’ is all about. I would hope that an owner would choose not to repaint (or modify for that matter) a super-stock jeep of any flavor that was in original, solid, good condition.
More specific to your question, because some civilian jeeps were used in military service it’s worth investigating the history of the jeep to determine if it was used in the military and whether it was painted OD green or not. Most likely, it wasn’t, but you never know.
That’s a good point. I love the idea of researching the history of the vehicle and staying true to the original.
