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 .
It sure looks good, but isn’t cheap.
“A no expense spared, ground up restoration. Everything is new from top to bottom with better than new panel gaps, paint and general fit & finish. This Jeep has only a handful of miles since completion.”

If this guy can get anywhere close to 65 grand for this Wagoneer; then I have a bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you!!! Where do they get these prices? no body in there right mind will pay anything close to that price. D-R-E-A-M O-N…
I agree. This fella must be smoking some good s$#! .
This has 4wd independent front suspension. I’ve been doing some research on this $160 option. http://hooniverse.com/2011/06/05/hooniverse-weekend-edition-a-jeep-wagoneer-4×4-with-independent-front-suspension/
My goof. It does not have it. Ebay ad only said they could be equipped with it.
6500 is probably what its worth. maybe his wife is making him sell it.
Sure, that’s pricy, but it looks like a well-done restoration. The Wagonmaster.com folks out in Texas don’t seem to have any trouble selling their FSJs. Given that prices in the SF Bay Area are ridiculous for pretty much everything except a burrito, someone just may buy it for $65k. Given the amount of Teslas driving around, there are plenty of people who could afford this.
Also, the seller (or at least listing agent) is a long-time San Francisco classic car dealership. They sell cool old cars and motorcycles in excellent condition. In the late 1990s, I used to stop by and just drool on the cool cars in the showroom that my factory wages obviously couldn’t afford. The sales guys never made me feel bad and encouraged me to come back.
In any case, it’s cool to see one as well-done as this.
Regardless of price, this is a fine looking machine indeed.
Wow! That’s a lotta dough! Sure is nice though. There was a dealership in Akron, the former KO jeep, that had a brand new one still in the showroom a few years ago. I know at least one reader here who remembers it. It was perfect, but was a horrible pea green.
To me it looks like the standard,” I paid this or somewhere close to this for the restoration so it must be worth that amount.” Never the case. We have a guy here in Maryland trying to sell a WW2 Jeep for $38,000 that is maybe worth $15,000. Seems to have the same mindset.

Merlin. Thanks for “setting the record straight.” With your knowledge and vast experience restoring Willys vehicles You are the one who would know true value.
Couldn’t agree more. Just because you or I spent $X, that doesn’t mean the market price is even near $X. Cost does not equal price.
The three P’s of vehicle restoration. You restore because you have a Passion for the vehicle, or a Personal connection. You do not restore for Profit. The antique vehicle gods frown on allowing us to profit.

I had a new ’73 – prettiest I’ve every owned. The mid 1970s gasoline crisis forced me to sell it (it like gas stations – all of them). Loved it while I had it.
There’s no accounting for taste… perhaps someone out there might spend $65k to acquire this vehicle. You’d think for that price, it’d be at least a 4 speed and a more sought after model – maybe 5 of them in really nice shape!
