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 .

“I am listing my 1946 Willys Civilian Jeep. I has a good running 4 cylinder engine. It also comes equipped with a metal cab with doors and windows that open. This top is factory made and does a good job of keeping the weather out. The jeep also includes a tow bar for transporting it back and forth to deer camp. This is probably a 35 to 45 mph vehicle. It is not rusted out and has good tires. It has been partially converted over to 12 volts but the job needs to be completed before it can be driven for everyday use. located about a mile from the 326 exit off I 75. Can be seen most anytime.”

“This is a 1948 Willys Jeep with a collectors engine, a 1955 Chev 265CI V-8 that has been totally rebuilt and bored .030. It has 750-16 six ply tires, a 20 gallon fuel tank and a one piece front seat, it has a winch on the front and there are dual wheel adapters for the back. A big sheet of metal protects the bottom for rough going.
After the rebuild project I drove it about 5 miles, then a heart attack plus crohns disease made me park it in the shed and I haven’t been able to use it, so somebody else should. I have pictures but so far I haven’t been able to load them into this ad, anybody interested can let me know via email if they would like to see them.”
