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 .

Carb, oil bath air cleaner, etc. Jeep comes with an original Willys Go Devil L 134 engine from a 48 Jeepster. That engine DOES turn over, though I have not attempted to start it. Was told by the person who pulled it from the Jeepster that it was a good running motor.
Photos show it without the windshield, but I do have the part. Glass is cracked. I have several additional parts: Complete new gasket set for L134 engine, rebuild kit for the Carter carb, set of 12v windshield wipers, set of 4 original rims in reasonable condition (plus the spare, shown).
