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 .
Tommy Waugh and I put together this simple checklist as an aide for people who are looking to purchase a jeep. This list is very general, as there are additional elements to consider for individual models.
This was great to use when calling sellers!
Thanks
Wonderful! Happy to hear it helped!

hello ewillys
I was wondering about the transaction…e.g.
purchasing a willys that’s on the west coast and mean while I’m on the east ???
I known I will hire a transport to bring it across country ,
but what I’m trying to figure out is ,the safest way to transfer the money and attain the title ?
thankyou so much
Emily
Emily,
There is no safe way without doing the transaction in person. Doing remote transactions requires a leap of faith in the seller. Based on what I’ve heard from readers, 99% of the time these transactions go well. That’s one reason to buy through eBay, as eBay has a protection program. http://pages.motors.ebay.com/buy/purchase-protection/
About the best you can do is have a contract written and signed (a fancy bill of sale) that specifies what each party agrees to do as part of the transaction. That gives you some recourse in case the transaction doesn’t work as agreed.

The question regarding the 50 mph, why is that important? Should I consider that a detractor when buying a jeep? If so, how much value does that take away?
Joshua,
I’ve into some folks who don’t realize that some jeeps won’t go 70mph on the freeway. That question was more informational than value oriented.
Another reason for the question is that some folks might not mention the overdrive until the question of ‘how fast will it go’ comes up in the conversation.
I hope that helps,

How can I contact sellers when the Craigslist listing can’t be found and no email was listed on the eWillys listing?
