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 .

“100% drivable CJ2A Willy’s Overland Jeep, first model civilian Jeep produced after WW2, 70 years old now! can’t say it’s not a project because it could use a few things, although it’s pretty cool the way it is. Been kept very original including new wiring with the 6 volt system and has the flat head four motor. Came out of the state of Wyoming some years ago and is pretty solid with much patina and patching, no top, windshield folds flat, good tires on newly painted rims. I️ took this in as a partial trade, drove it home 40 miles, runs and drives ok but steering box could use some work, it’s not perfect and price accordingly, $500 below Hagerty fair condition value. Prefer cash but consider trades. clean title in hand.”

“1947 Willys CJ2A body tub, front fenders, hood and grille for sale. All has ratty-looking flaking white/blue paint, bondo, old fiberglass, surface rust, etc. but has been repaired structurally to be usable, or suitable for more restoration.
Tub floor and hat channels have been replaced but the lower sides need attention unless you want to go the Rat Jeep route. Front fenders are a little rough, but repaired and usable until you find better ones. Hood has had a hole repaired and is also usable. Grille is in good condition, but headlight buckets are missing. Will throw in remains of a later tailgate to complete the ratty set. All pieces but tailgate have matching “patina” as noted.
Asking $600 for the lot, mainly because of the hours in the tub floor. Have a couple equally ratty matching windshield frames for extra $.”
