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: Was $3600. **SOLD**
The windshield is funky.
“In July 2013 I purchased this jeep as a restoration project for my husband. He had begun the basics. The awesome thing is it ran great & we had taken it, playing in the desert, numerous times. He was diagnosed with cancer Jan. 2014 & crossed over 55 days later. Although I hate to part with it… It deserves more than just sitting in a garage.”
Cool jeep, but very sad story. I wonder how many VEC features are there… can’t see driver’s side for possible tool indents. Appears to have floor shift vs column shift. Price seems fair.
Isn’t this on your side of town, Colin?!
Check out the diameter of the tailpipe . It’s the same size as my diesel PU.
Just gave it some thought that it’s probably a spark arrestor given that part of the country where it’s located.
Well guys I just bought this Jeep. Spotted it here (thanks eWillys!) because my own craigslist search missed it; seller didn’t put the year in her ad. The pics are a couple years old, that big tailpipe and the wacky back seat aren’t there any more. It had been sitting but a new battery and a gallon of fresh gas and it fired right up.
The windshield looks odd because it has been replaced with a fixed plexiglas panel. Electricals converted to 12v, ammeter missing for some reason, and the spare is on a very beefy homebrew swing-away carrier. Otherwise it seems mostly original VEC… yes it has the tool brackets on the left side.
Glad to hear exiles helped! Good luck with the jeep. I’ve updated the post.

BR304,
CONGRATS! Thanks for the update and specifically the answer about the tool indents. Where out here do you live? Any chance you’re in the East Valley? I’d love to see your new acquisition. Dave can give you my email address if you want to contact me directly… or go to AHMTA.com, an Arizona chapter of the MVPA.
Plus, I have a spare ammeter 🙂
Now that I have done a little more research I realize I was misinterpreting the “tool indents” feature. My Jeep has the brackets on the left side – but I guess they’re really top bow holders? But NOT the indent under the driver’s door. I found a site that says this was dropped after #29500, this one is #31000.
I’m sure owning this will be a continuous “educational experience”. I have wanted another old Jeep since I got rid of my ’42 GPW back in the 70’s. This is pretty close, but in better shape overall. Joe – I’ll try to tag up in the other venue.
BTW, I’m in NW Phoenix.
