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 .

“beautiful yellow factory refurbished jeep with trailer for sale. 1700 horse power. email for more details. from the world war 2 era”
Great comments about this one on FaceBook.
That 1700hp 4-cylinder has everyone’s attention. I’m amused that after 6 days it STILL says “VINATGE” (vin at ge? really?) Wrong trailer, wrong wheels (although cool for another project) and BRIGHT yellow: WOW… interesting π
And whose factory refurbished this?
170 hp?
1700 cc ?
134 cubic inches is 2195.87 cc (2.2 liter)… so I’m still curious what that number represents, or what it’s a type-O of. The 1940s-50s 134L and 134F got around 60+/- hp. Interestingly, my 2018 turbo-charged 1.5 liter 4 cylinder Ecotec engine gets 170 hp (not 1700).
I believe it a very rare one off prototype. Apparently at the time the Army was experimenting with paint colors and wheel alloys. They wanted to see which combinations made the most HP. Although the experiment was quite successful the US government decided it was to costly and not practical in combat situations. Or something like that.
