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 .

“1947 jeep Willys it was a father and son project that was traded in to us. We have pics of the entire build. It does runs and drive but still needs some wiring done. Has the original 4 cylinder engine And Manuel transmission. ”
http://nashville.craigslist.org/cto/5897452244.html
No pics provided. Given the price, you might expect to find an engine, or tranny, or even seats, but nope. Of course, the seller argues that buyers should “wake up” and that they can obtain any of those items at a local junkyard. Good luck with that.
“Selling my old Willys jeep needs some work , body is in excellent condition , no engine , no transmission, no seats, I have a new carb for it . I have had this at my uncles place , and someone has been taking parts of it , and I have made up my mind to sell it to some lucky person , all these parts can be found in a junk yard all on the cheap side , so with a few more dollars you can have a truly collectors item, so wake up people, some of the original paint can still be seen on the body. price is firm so do not try to low ball me, I have done my research . email me for more info on it .”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800
Project or parts.
