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 sure looks pretty.

“It is hard to determine what type of vehicle this is – a truck, or an SUV, or something special. It is a one of a kind. Its foldable tarp roof makes it a great summer vehicle, strong heater warms it up nicely in winter time. Its fuel economy is phenomenal for a 4×4 vehicle – around 33 MPG.

Given this doesn’t run, Id be careful spending more than $2000 on it. Parts are hard to find and expensive (I owned three at one point). There is a FB page for Champ owners.
“1952-62 not entirely sure of model year, Austin Champ. England’s attempt at making copy of the Willys jeep. 7spds forward + 7 in reverse. 9000 original miles. Right hand drive. 4 cylinder Rolls Royce engine. 24v system, 4 wheel independent suspension. antique fisher plow. one of very, very few here in the U.S. This thing will go like a tank. $4000 or best offer.”

If the rust is light, this could be worth a look.

“1975 Rural Willys
Nice rarity here. Jeep Willys Wagon Rural.
High miles.
4×4.
4 Gears.
6 Cylinders.
No rust,
This vehicle needs some TLC but price is negotiable.”
Craig spotted this thing. It is listed as a 1948 jeep, but I doubt there is anything ’48 on it.
“Jeep snowplow truck…well sort of….
Jeep truck cab sitting on a military dump truck frame and military 6×6 wheels. Powered by 455 Olds engine and TH400 trans. Payloader and hi-low counter weights with a forklift mast to raise the 9.5 or 10′ county snow plow. Runs and drives but Dad is 85 years old now and does not need to be climbing in and out of this thing that he built anymore.’

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2990.
Marty shared this one. It not only had desert dogs, but comes with a second set of them. Might be worth buying for the dogs, then turning around and reselling it.
“Runs and drives Good with only 70,000 miles has tach, stero ,extra set of offroad Desert Dog tires 0n mag wheels has 2″lift with custom bumpers”
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $900.

Supposed to be an early model.
“1960 M274 Military Mule. First model. Rare. 4cyl Willys engine. 4×4, four wheel steer. Not running. Motor is complete and free. Magito that has previously been converted to 12v. Very unique and interesting vehicle.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Craig shared this one. Hard to see how much value (or not) is here.
“I’m gauging interest in my homemade mini skidder. It’s a 1950ish Willys frame and drivetrain with a bulldozer cage and fairlead. It was running a year ago when I parked it to clean the carb. I need to get the carb hooked back up and get a battery on it to get it moving.
It’s a mile in the woods currently so I’ll be putting list of interested people together for viewing later in the summer.
It doesn’t have brakes. The clutch isn’t much and the starter skips once in a while. But the flathead ran smooth with minimal smoke, the 4×4 worked, and it steers.
I bought a crawler and an old farm tractor and I need to thin the herd.”
Glenn spotted this Auburn trencher on the back of a tractor.
“International 2400 gas tractor with Auburn mounted trencher and Auburn mounted dozer blade. This is a one of a kind machine. Google it, Auburn made trenchers for tractors and Willys Jeeps from the 40s through the 80s. Parts are still available from a dealer in Virginia. I got this given to me by the original owner. I brought it home, and got it running. It has been sitting for about 4 years. Last time it ran, when the engine got warmed up, it died. Let it cool, it would run again. Easy electrical fix, I just have no need for the tractor. It is a cool piece to look at! Auburn split the tractor and mated the gear transmission with a hydraulic one. It still runs ans drives like a tractor, but when you engage the Auburn transmission and pto for trencher, it takes over. 98 ACTUAL HOURS. I know the complete history on the machine. It has a 5″ trencher on it. Blade works all the way. It really is handy, I just have no need for it. Feel free to call with any questions. Good for collecting or for use!!! I am asking $6000 obo. Make me an offer, I need the barn space! I can load it on your trailer.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
“”For when its the End of the World, but you still want to drive an MG”
This mutant sweetheart is in need of a new home that will parade her hot rod bee-butt around more! In 2010 I purchased her from a talented Dr. Frankenstein who had built her in the 80’s, out of a ’73 Midget and a ’53 Willys Military Jeep.
She’s four wheel drive, has been maintained in running condition, kept in a car cover outdoors, used very little, and makes people ridiculously happy when she drives by. Her builder told us stories of towing his boat through the woods with her after she was born, so i’m pretty sure she’s ready for the apocalypse with just a few more accouterments.

Jim shared this oddball. It’s only two wheel drive and has an ABS plastic body.
“Here we have 1970 Citroen Mehari. Car will but need tank cleaned out. These are EXTREMELY rare in this country! Cars condition decent considering it’s age and that it’s made plastic!

Buz shared pics of a Scrambler that has been transformed into an ambulance. Neither he nor I had seen one like it. A little research revealed that it may have been one of six the Horton Company built in 1981. Derek Redmond wrote a piece on the vehicles and coined a nickname: the Scrambulance. You can read more on the CJ-3B page.
