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 .

Looks like a stainless body and interior panels and front fenders, but with a painted high hood and dash? Looks pretty nice: cool vintage radio 🙂
Neat !!
That is without doubt a hand made body. Looks like hammertone (pebble) metal. I doubt that it’s stainless.
The tailgate is obviously not factory or even aftermarket. There is a “valance” below the tailgate, covering the rear crossmember. The drawbar bolts through that “valance” into the hidden crossmember.
The fenders are obviously not factory or aftermarket. The folds (bends) in the metal are not rounded, but look to have been formed over a sharp, square edge.
The interior deck and floor are much different that factory.
It appears to be a very well made copy but there’s no way on this earth that it’s worth $13k.
Somebody put a mountain of work into making it, but why? As a collector’s item, it’s worthless since it’s simply not even close to factory. As a novelty, it’s worth what any old, well maintained vehicle would be worth just to drive around for fun.
And notice – only two bids, one of which was declined and the other expired. Looks like a case of a dealer that thinks way too highly of itself.
