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 .
Unclear how the seller arrived at the above price. The seller claims the jeep has only 10,000 miles, but this jeep has had some body work and has a few mods, so the year and mileage isn’t clear. My guess is an early 1960s with an early Tux Park package. No description provided.

It would have to be a ’61 or later if it’s a genuine Tux Park.
As for the price, he must be INSANE.
I recently had a similar experience with a Willys pickup seller, who claimed the truck was all original down to the paint with a premium price to match. When I researched it, the truck was clearly repainted and with more wear than they claimed plus other discrepancies. Then it turned into a story that all their information came from the truck’s first owner. When I politely documented the discrepancies to them they immediately stopped responding to phone calls, texts and emails.
Buyer beware, and that’s what I keep saying, “SHYSTERS” are out there to take advantage of the market, along with sellers who are just plain stupid as to vale of their vehicle. This is what America has come to, chasing the money. Sad but true.
JohnfromSC…
I see that a lot.
Usually it’s someone selling on behalf of an owner and when confronted with reality, they say “That’s what I’ve been told”….even though it’s clearly wrong (or in the case of a military vehicke…historically impossible like a CJ-5 in WWII).
That MAY be the truth or perhaps it is what politicians call “plausible deniability”.
Also there are just a lot of silly/stupid/unreasonable owners.
I was at an auction and someone wanted too much money for a truck.
I asked the owner of the price was firm and he said “That’s what one brought at the XXXXX auction on TV”.
John, because we all know the TV is never wrong!! 🙂
