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 .

I’m not exactly sure how the jeep is useful for chicken plucking?
Hello Steve, I had to respond to your comment about chicken plucking. Willys made a special piece of equipment that was modified by the GI’s in the field. One can’t pluck a chicken correctly unless their Willys had the step through front bumper. Notice how the GI had a combination seat and that gives him the ideal angle to pluck the chicken! You can tell he wasn’t a cook because the cook would be sitting with his back against the front grill with both feel separated and the chicken plucking would be between his knees. It’s amazing how a GI can and still do modify their vehicles for the task at hand. (I couldn’t resist!)

Well played Mark 🙂
I could see holding the chicken against the tires: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5KkXFFd_fw
Great video Steve. It looks like a cross of a washing machine tub and a weed eater! Sure cleans the birds in a hurry and I wish I had the patent on it!
