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 $1000.
No engine, but appears solid. This might be a good find for an eastern truck.
“Body in very good shape with very little rust. Motor was taken out before I got it. Last motor in it was a GM v-6.”
This looks pretty original and I can’t see any obvious rust.
“What we have here is a 1962 Willy’s Pickup for sale. It has the 6 cylinder Super Huricanne Engine. Restorable but not running. $ 1,500 cash takes her home Call Rich at 231-861-6737.”

It doesn’t run and there is rust.
“Selling my grandpa’s farm truck. 1962 Willys pick-up, it’s been in the barn that it drove into for the past 18-20 years. Does not run now and is rough but it’s all there and has lots of good parts. Rust seems to be just surface rust. Don’t have the time to fix it up and I don’t want to see it rot away. Call Cass if interested 253-377-3051 or email.”

This appears solid, though that driver’s fender has been bent.
“Classic Willys Jeep Truck , Fire engine red. Garage stored in Westport Mass.”
http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/cto/1996132456.html
The price has dropped $50 and the seller added pics. It is a rare “Tender” (“Tenders” have an unusual truck bed). One again I’ll ask, does anyone know anything about these trucks?
I spent some time search for Jeeps in Museums today. I discovered that in 1996 a museum with some wwII jeeps closed and the jeeps were purchased and sent to Indiana. After a little searching, I am pretty sure these were bought by the National Automotive and Truck Museum of the United States (NATMUS), located in Auburn, Indiana. This appears to be a pretty sizeable museum with a great collection of both stock and modified vehicles.
Sorting through images at different sites, I did eventually find an image of a GP (to be published later) located at NATMUS. I sent them an email to see if I can get additional images and information (my emails to museums thus far have proven useless so far, with the exception of a gracious and quick response from the York Museum in PA).
One additional item I discovered while searching through some NATMUS images was this modified Willys Truck hidden in the background of a pic focused on the Popcorn Wagon (see pic to right). Fortunately, I could identify the website emblazoned on the windshield and, viola, I found some great pics of this vehicle to share.
This truck, called Silly Willy, was built by Wild Fire Manufacturing for 1st Attack (Jeffrey Cook is president of both companies). 1st Attack is a company that specializes in the development of offroad emergency vehicles. You might know Jeffrey Cook from his days as owner/driver of the Monster Truck War Wagon that toured nationally.
Here’s some pics of Silly Willy:

“Hello and thanks for looking! For sale is a 1949 4 wheel drive Willys truck professionally restored in 2008. This was a frame-off restoration. The truck has been used very little sine the restoration with 875 miles on the odometer. This was a painstaking, frame-off restoration that took over three years to complete. No expense was spared in this restoration. Everything was replaced new or rebuilt to factory specifiactions. The truck runs and drives like new. The 4 cylinder motor was balanced and runs like a swiss watch. The transmission and transfer case was completely rebuilt. Everything was replaced. New saturn overdrive was installed as well. The bed is new. The original willys-overland symbol was grafted in the new tailgate. Over 40 hours of labor went into this task alone. Besides the original gauges, Stewart-Warner gauges accompany a 6 volt tachometer. The interior has been upgraded and the there is a SIKKENS two stage paint finish on the interior and exterior. Please e-mail me with any questions. Thanks for looking and happy bidding!”

This appears to be a well done conversion with some great details. Check out the extended cab. I noticed the extra window and thought that looked unusual, but the extended cab is so well done that I had to go look at other truck pics to figure out how it was modified. The dashboard looks nicely blended between old and new.
“This is a truly unique vehicle with $20,000+ invested in build. It is a Jeep Willys Cab with a custom oak bed sitting on a 1988 Ford Ranger 4×4 frame and running gear. It also has a custom interior complete with power seats. An incredible amount of time was invested in the extended cab. It looks like it rolled off the assembly line as an extended cab truck.”
