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 .

No motor but it does have the original tranny and transfer case, 70s jeep Wagoneer Dana 44’s front and rear, only asking $500 for quick sale.

Dan spotted this one. Looks to be a good price.
“1951 Willys Overland 4×4 PU truck, third person, second family to own.
100% original accept for second tail light and truck style mirrors added, truck is in good shape
Overhead valve 4 cylinder with PTO, heater, push button floor starter, round art deco buttons to open doors.
Drove on weekends for a few years, parked it 10 years ago due to brakes failing. Yard art since then, to distracted with raising a family and job to get done what it really needed (I know, lame reason). Wife doesn’t see the art value, time to sell.
Engine is in good shape but I have not started in last 10 years. Items needing attention to get road worthy. 1) brake and master cylinder rebuild 2) original rear trans seal started leaking too much gear oil to drive regularly (then brakes failed) and second gear syncro is bad plus pops out of that gear under compress stopping 3) clean old fuel from gas tank/line and Carburetor probably will need deep cleaning or maybe rebuild after sitting so long. Should then be good to go. ”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $16,500
Looks nice. Has a Dump-O-Matic dump bed.
