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 .
Mike spotted this Jeepster body. This appears to have potential based on the pics.

“This Jeep body has been sitting in our garage for a while now and we want to get rid of it. It is in good condition and has little rust. It is in Montclair, NJ. Pick up or shipping at buyers expense. Price is $1500, or best offer.”
This post is interesting to me for a number of reasons. (trivia kicks in) First of all, if you look at the location map within the post, the seller is located between Valley Rd & Grove Street. Just so happens there was a Willys Jeep hobby business guy located right in the middle of Valley RD net to the old A&P. I have a feeling this may be one of his old projects. Montclair was once a mixed, upper and lower class town, that now has become Upper “Artsy Fartsy.” So to have a Willys Jeepster body sitting in your garage for years, is unusual. The guy that ran the hobby business is long gone, maybe 40 years ago. Short first name, like Tab, or Scott, Rob. He had a few late 40’s flat nose Willys pickups sitting along Valley Rd.
Reason #2. Back in the early 1970’s, I sold my 1960 Willys wagon to a guy who lived right smack dab in the middle of that area on Wildwood Ave, his name was Sheldon (Shelly for short) I used to go for bike rides from my house in Clifton, 5-6 miles to his house just to visit my wagon. (I kid you not) It sat in his garage with the garage door open, and I could see it from the street. Sat there for the longest time, then one day, it was gone. My heart ached, wished I had never sold it. Even though I now have a 1962 wagon from my childhood, If i could find the 60 wagon, I’d buy it back. Whew, that was a long short story. Rainman has spoken.
