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 .
Has some updates. Looks solid.

While it does look nice, it can’t be ‘custom built’ and ‘fully restored’
My thoughts exactly.
Maybe it is a frame up remanufacture with some mods better shocks springs and charging system modern for comfort and reliability that’s how I wold take it not good for a purist but maybe better to drive????
Mark, the jeep may well be better to drive than a stock version, due to some slight modifications, but then it’s no longer stock or restored. There’s nothing wrong with that. What the guys are pointing out is a language issue, not a complaint about the jeep.
In this case, the jeep has some customizations on it, thus it is no longer stock. It would be more accurate to state this was refurbished rather than restored.
But, that doesn’t mean something can’t be “custom built” and “fully restored”. For example, I think arguably that the Bantam BRC built by Duncan Rolls (http://historywithheart.com/BRC75/photosvideos.html) is a rare jeep that fits both those categories, as there was a ton of custom work necessary to recreate the original Bantam prototype.
