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 .

wonder if that door covers up the body, or if someone cut the body out?
Too bad that he took only two photos, can’t see too much in them, for $5000. you’d think he could take a few more.
I wonder why they changed from slat grill design, was it for more protection or production costs?
Mark – I thought it was production costs. The slat grill was welded and what they ended up with was stamped. I’m no expert though.
Based on what I’ve read, foremost it was for standardization. Forced to choose between the two grilles, it mades sense to go withthe stamped grille, which must have been cheaper, lighter, and quicker to produce (maybe even stronger?).
Wish I had $5,000…… I would love to get a slat grill MB. 🙂
