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 .

This might have some Husky hubs.

“Selling my Jeep CJ2A as I will not be able to restore it myself.
The Jeep is complete, it is a project, has rust in places but it’s
nothing someone with average mechanical skills and some welding
ability can not handle.
The Jeep is not running, I’ve owned it for 3 years and it has not run
while I’ve owned it. Last moved it two years ago and the motor and
transmission were free and turning at that time. Now the transmission
will not go in neutral and because of that the motor won’t turn.
Some rust on the floor boards, tool box bottom pretty much gone,
rot on the frame in front of the driver side rear axle.
Everything under the hood is there (no battery).
No title. Due to the age of the vehicle, a title can be obtained in NY
with the proper DMV documentation.”
Looks to be a project.
