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: Price dropped to $6000.

“This jeep has been converted to a V8 from the mid 1970’s, borg warner T10 transmission (4speed), Dana 18 twin stick transfer case, Dana 44 rear end, Dana 25 front axle.
The “paint” is a rhino liner type bed liner inside and out. The jeep is originally from Nevada and there is no rust. I have not owned this jeep very long but I have a baby on the way and need to sell it. I originally bought this as a weekend toy. This is not your child’s first car or a daily driver. I am 6′ 3″ and it is a snug fit.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
The drivetrain is all cleaned up.
“This was meant to be a parts Jeep for my 1948 Willys restoration but it was in pretty good shape so I started restoring this one also. I have overhauled the transmission and transfer case. I pulled the heads and oil pan on the engine and it was in good shape. Have done the body work on one finder but the rest of the body needs work. There is rust on the floor boards and the drivers finder needs work. I have to many projects so she has to go. This is a complete jeep everything is here. You could make it drivable in a weekend or finish restoring it. I know the history of the jeep but do not have a title. However, you could get a bonded title for about $100. You finish what I started.”
Lots of updates including a tilt front clip. Could be a Bobcat fiberglass body.

“Here is a classy Jeep from the past. This Jeep is in good condition for its age. Pretty much a “barn find”, and was on a family farm from 1960-2014. Original 6v system, new battery, plugs wires, and rebuilt starter. Good compression on the cylinders, Turns, over fine, one problem is the distributor has rusted to the block and timing is off. Once the distributor is free the timing can be set correctly. The rebuilds and new items I will mention were done a year prior to my acquisition in 2015 by the previous owner. Some of the items that he did are as follows: New Battery tray; new spare tire, rim and bracket to the frame pads; and new shift lever boots. Brakes have been rebuilt with master cylinder and new brake lines(they definitely need to be bled); new steel gas tank; new side mirror; new front floor plan, new front seat frames and vinyl seat cushions; new steering gear and shaft; new non-directional military tires and tubes; rebuilt generator; re-cored radiator; replacement windshield glass and frame; exhaust system approximately five years old;
New handbrake cable; new choke and throttle cable; new inner windshield rubber & windshields to cowl rubber.
New and original extra parts include: 6v distributor; L&S PTO C-10002; 640603 Drum pulley unit; 6v Harrison heater H-441-48; Pierce governor with mounting brackets; original grill screen; original wheel drum puller from Willys repair shop; original single-hand windshield wiper (needs rubber) All gauges and lights work. Has original oil bath breather, tool box has no rust.”
Needs some work.
“48′ Willys Jeep for sale. Bought it about five years ago, thought I might want to do a restoration, but don’t really have the time. Started and ran all over town for one summer, has set inside my garage for the last four years. Clear Colorado title. I charged the battery up to try and start, but needs some fuel system work. Comes with two newly upholstered seats, two old seats, spare tire, box of extra parts, and a set of new shocks (two already on the front, and two for the rear end that have not been put on yet). pretty clean little Willies Jeep.”
