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 .
Short update. On Tuesday, after buying some parts and fixing some wiring, I got mom’s riding lawn mower running. She’s happy. I am happy.
On Wednesday, after buying a new motor and then upgrading the wiring to 230 … (It sure wasn’t plug and play) … I got the compressor working. I am even happier!
Compressor done? Check …

Nice to be making headway again.
Nice work Dave.
Two steps backward to start forward again. Welcome to working on any Willys. You’re making progress Dave. Lookin good.
Chugging away there! Buy the way if that rear cross member was dented by the driveshaft, I’d be checking every leaf, mounting hanger and axle housing just to be on the safe side. My grandpa had his 56 Chevy 3/4 Ton pickumup truck loaded/overloaded and on the drive home he took a different route. He didn’t see a big dip in the road and its chunk hit the bed floor and left a perfect chunk print in it. He had two broke leafs on each side and a warped axle housing. Needless to say he upgraded the springs he had put on it the year before and a new rear end. Used coils too and welded mounts back after some mumbling cussing. Just a thought. Happy restoring.
Lew, I think it is that way with everything!
Barry, the previous owners beat that jeep pretty hard, so I have having to check everything. Fortunately, there were fewer spring leaves on a DJ, so there was more flexibility. But, i do plant to pull them apart, clean them, and replace the center bolt.. At this point I plan to install new ubolts, clean up the springs, and clean up the pads.
