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 .
Tom shared this parts CJ-5 or project. There seems to be value here. It has a Kelly hardtop.

“63 Jeep I bought with intentions of building a toy. The engine is not in it but comes with it. The title has been lost but you can send off for a replacement title. I didn’t need one because I was building a off-road toy. Too many projects, not enough time. $800 obro”
In most states, the “sending off for a title” is done by the selling owner. The owner can apply for a lost title with ID if they are the actual owner. Some bureaus may require other proof such as old insurance papers, etc. Otherwise, I wouldn’t touch it unless for parts.
Barney,
It sure seems like the lack-of-a-title issue only seems to becoming more problematic.

Dave,
It really is, and not just in Jeeps though I think it’s easier to happen in the Jeep world, especially the older models that served on farms or Contruction and such. Vehicles are in barns or melting down in the back lot so long that a title is just another paper that got tossed many years before. We get calls all the time wanting to sell us an early Jeep “that was grampa’s who just passed”, but when asked about a title, they say, “That’s the problem…”. And unfortunately, often it’s a relative trying to do an end run around the estate or probate.
