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 solid.

Same truck on ebay right now. $6900 reserve not met, 4 days to go:
Willys Truck on ebay.
Nice truck, but look closely at the paint job, “Orange Peel”. Not being critical, just making a point. Second time around on eBay.
Craig: I sure don’t see the price going much higher than that.
Mike: Good point.
This was previously auctioned on ebay. Interesting bid history. It began at $12k, sat there for 2 days, and then shot up to $12,500. The first bidder came back shortly afterwards, and the price went to $12,600, which was the final selling price 3 days later. No neutral or negative feedback left by either party after the deal fell apart, which is bothersome for future potential buyers. We don’t know whether the buyer flaked, the buyer didn’t like the condition, whether it was a shill bid by a friend of the seller, etc…
I think $7k is all the money for this truck. One has only to look at the tailgate picture to see how well the “restoration” was done.
Craig, You make an interesting point, There is a lot that goes un-explained on ebay. Over the years, I’ve seen numerous vehicles listed as sold only to reappear again a few weeks later listed by the same seller. I hate to say this, but some bidders just think this is a game like gambling, the I want “The winning bid”, almost an addiction. The trouble is ebay ads to the problem by charging the seller the listing fee as soon as the listing ends. If a so called buyer doesn’t come through with the bucks, it takes at least 2 weeks for ebay to credit your account. Ebay also requires conformation from the bidder before they refund your money. Hence the reluctance to leave any kind of feedback. My own experience selling a car on ebay was less than satisfactory. The guy wanted me to drive the car and meet him at a rest stop on the NJ Turnpike, said he pay me then & there. I wasn’t going to go for that deal.
M point is this; Ebay is not a reliable source to sell your vehicle or to gauge market prices.
