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 .
This looks good. A nice paint job and this should look pretty sharp.

This looks like it might be a good deal.

This might be a good deal.

This appears very nice, though there has been some body work done (no drain holes and it appears the tailgate might have been removed. The top looks pretty classic. Finally, this is a very early CJ-3A with a serial number of 11060.

The seller says it’s ready, but the top and doors aren’t in good shape and it still looks like it needs paint to me.

It’s hard to tell a lot from the small pictures, but this appears to be a project. Note how far forward the radiator is positioned. I hope that’s not where it attaches.

The console looks a little unusual. I’d like a closer look to see what they have done. It appears to go underneath the seats.

There’s some odd points in the body on the passenger side and I can’t tell if that’s the lighting, rust, or paint. This doesn’t run.

I always laugh when I see the “it ran when parked” comment.

I didn’t get many specifics on this build, other than it is a barn find that was carefully rebuilt and is located in or near deer park, washington. There are lots of great details on it. Thanks for the pics Michelle!

The price on this project will drop. This could also be a rare ’49 CJ-2A.

This is Nursey. She has a few bumps and rough spots, but might make a nice little run about jeep.
“This little gem has been in our family for about 30 years. Originally bought by my father who had a private hunting ranch in the Northern Colorado mountains. He purchased it to help climb off road and retrieve their game. He was able to drive it everywhere, no matter what the terrain. Because it is white, it acquired the nickname of “Nursey” because it always turned out to be just what the doctor ordered. It proved itself as a real lifesaver over and over. My father became ill and had to move out of Colorado due to the high altitude. He had to sell his ranch and all the toys, that is when I decided I wanted to buy it because I had recently re-located to the NE Plains of Colorado, and I never had as much fun as I had when I was chasing cows in the pasture with it. My husband and I have owned it since 1996. Now it needs restoration. We had the engine completely rebuilt and it only has about 500 miles on it. It has the original engine and drivetrain, and everything works. Runs like a watch, except the motor needs a new water pump…..”
