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: **SOLD** Was $4200

This CJ-2A sand jeep sports the very rare parkette fiberglass body. Only a handful of these bodies were made (At one time I was told only about 10 of them). It sounds like it has some good parts, but it will take some work to convert it to 4wd.

This appears to be a parkette racing body. The front of the frame looks a little twisted.

This jeep sports the same seats (driver’s seat and rear passenger seat) that I have. I could use those seat covers!

This is a jeep designed for PNW4WDA racing. This jeep has Formula desert dogs on the rear, but I can’t tell what tires are on the front. The front shackles are reversed. The front clip is all one piece (likely fiberglass). It looks like the body is just a partial metal shell. This jeep should also have a scattershield bellhousing (a requirement for racing). This also appears to have chrome tie rods and a chrome front housing cover. I wouldn’t be surprised if the rear was either locked or welded, perhaps the front as well. This is actually a pretty good price if you want to get started racing in the PNW.
“Race Jeep. Buick V-6. T-14 Tranny. Spicer 18 44 Rear 27 Front. Needs some work. Runs and drives. $1200.00 OBO. Contact Kris @ (253) 219-2208.”
I’m not sure what the exact story is here (might be a vendor?), but these look brand new.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a 2wd Sand Rail. I suspect the body is fiberglass. Looks well built.

This is ‘jeep’ only in look. The rest of it is all drag.
