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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.

“I have a 47 Willys Jeep. It is rough and beat up. No title. Old ranchers lost it years ago. I have had it for 3 years. The ranchers had it 45 years. It has a newer overhead valve jeep engine in it. It will run if you can get it started. I think the starter is finally caput! No idea what fuel tank they put in the back is out of and I made a milk crate seat. Last time I was able to start it the engine purrs like a kitten. Fwd works. For some reason there is something cool about it. I call it, Drivable yard art!”

“Willys Jeep – 1947 model. Makes an interesting parade, kids and adults both seem to like it. Or can be a project jeep if you want to rebuild to like new. 4 wheel drive works. Does run and can be licensed as is but it does smoke a little. Not licensed since 2007. Electrical system is 12 volt and starter rebuilt just before I quit licensing it. Ignition system was rebuilt before I purchased a number of years ago. Will slip out of 2nd gear if let up on gas and don’t shift. Brakes are fair. Mileage unknown. Battery weak but will include new battery for $50. There are a number of rusted out areas but does not show when driving. See pictures. (note: fake Gatling gun is NOT included)”

I have extra seats, fabric and lights in the back of the jeep as well as a bikini top, before the jeep looked like this it used to be a military replica and the previous owner painted it red.”
