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 .

“Documented frame off restoration and 12 volt done by previous owner. Always stored indoors.
It started right up and idles properly after two years of sitting. The known issues:
Pops out of 2nd gear, leaks at rear diff seal and maybe rear seal on engine.
Also this time around the brake pedal goes to the floor so brakes not operating.
Engine serial does not match. This rig needs attention, I’m not a mechanic.
You will need to trailer it away. Collector plates, $9,000.00 cash no counter offers please.”
None are complete, but there could be value in the parts, given that one engine has been overhauled.
