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 .
Thanks to Nicholas for spotting this one.
“1943 GPW WW2 jeep. Has GPW engine with T90 transmission. Runs nice, but been having an issue the starter barely cranks it over??? 75% finished restoring. All 5 combats with brand new tires, tubes, and flaps. Has 50 cal replica machine gun. You buy and finish, $11,000.00 CASH FIRM. FIRM does not mean $8500 or $10,500. Takes $11000 cash to buy her. Clear Illinois title in my name”

Looking at sellers Craigslist pictures I believe this jeep has a aftermarket repro body tub due to the lack of reflector mounting holes, no holes in rear panel for trailer socket mounts, no holes in rear panel jerry can mount, no holes for tie down brackets on rear panel and no top bow bracket holes, no holes by entries for door snaps, fire extinguisher mount, axe handle bracket, front side handles and missing axe head sheath. Pictures also show incorrect front frame rails with heavy fishplates welded to them and heavy iron bumper. Ad says 50 cal gun but pictures show a 30 cal. I wish him luck at $11,000 but anyone with WW2 jeep knowledge will probably pass.
Good eye, Lester. No holes for brackets that hold the tools on by the indents either.
Yep, repro tub and heavily repaired frame. Incorrect gauges and horn. Dampeners on the tie rods and metal oil lines. She does have many original parts, though. I wish the seller luck with the asking price.
