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 .

“1948 Willys Jeep. This jeep has been in my family for over 30 years and used on many hunting trips and rides in the country until she just got tired. She sat for approx 8 years before I got her and decided to make a project of fixing her up. Been doing this for the last 2 years and just ready to move on so she needs a new owner. She is about 85% complete and now needs somebody who can fine tune and finish her off. List of work done below.
– Motor completely rebuilt be Vance auto.
-Transmission and transfer case opened cleaned and re-sealed.
-Differentials drained and fresh fluid.
-New clutch, pressure plate,backing plate and throw out bearing.

Body and paint (’46 Harvest Tan scheme even though this is a ’47 by serial number) is in excellent condition, interior protected with color matched bed liner. Hat channels are like new, no rust.
