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 $5400.

Uhh I hate diamond plates on these willys. Just a cheap way to cover up rust.
Sometimes it is used to cover up rust and sometimes to cover up damage. Other times they are used to prevent damage. We have some trails in the northwest that are so tight you have to pivot the jeep around a stump. That’s one of the reasons I have a side bar installed on my jeep (rather than put the diamond plating on it. Those stumps would eat the side of my fiberglass body 🙂
Dave,
I totally understand. You definitely need them on a fiberglass body. However, I’m not so sure it would protect the body from hitting a rock on a trail. Side bars are great for offroading. My friend has a 4-runner with sidebars and has saved us numerous times on trails. When I was looking for a jeep, the majority of the flat-fenders that had diamond plates, covered up rust and dents in the body. I guess I’m just a “stock” kind of guy.
