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 .

(10/19/2018) Lots of custom work here.
“This is a CUSTOM Build Jeep that has been “Road Tested” for 3000 miles since is build approximately 6 years ago.
Every detail is done to perfection. From the custom chassis on up. Some build features include, GM 350 crate motor with performer intake manifold, MSD ignition, and chrome header into a custom stainless steel exhaust. The axles are Dana 44’s with Warren front hubs, extended leaf srpings, and sway bars front and rear with disconnects for greater articulation as well as Bilstein shocks. The transmission is a Borg Warner T18 top loader – 4 Speed with a Dana twin stick transfer case. All lines and most of the hardware are stainless steel. The vehicle has power sterring, vented front disc brakes and sits nicely on Toyo 33x1350R15 Open Country tires mounted on M/T aluminum rims. Picture don’t do this Jeep justice, a close up examination speasks for itself.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $19,500.
This has VT plates, but has a Fort Myers map. I suspect the seller may live part time in Vermont and part time in Florida.
