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 .

(09/29/2015) This jeep has been in storage for 22 years. This has potential.
“I’m selling my 1948 Willy’s Jeep. My Grandfather and I built 2 of them when I was little. I’ve hung on to it for years, keeping it in storage since 1993. I just don’t have the time or money to get it back in road ready condition. I’m tired of seeing it sitting. Someone should fix it up and enjoy it. I have a lot of additional parts as well. All goes as a package. I have title in hand and stored registration. I really don’t know the specifics about the Jeep. I can’t remember. Feel free to call if you want to have a look. It ran when put in storage….but I’m sure it doesn’t now.”

Seller wrote that this jeep is “all original” in the title.
“This a collector ! Need it gone hit me up with offers, customed for hunting season!”
On Monday I spent some time testing the engine. After lightly sanding the points, the spark began to work, but the engine still didn’t start. I took a second look at the fuel pump and discovered it in fact wasn’t working. When I checked the bolts to remove it I discovered that the bolts were snug, but not tightened. So, someone at some point looked at the fuel pump.
After further examining the non-stock solex carb, I then removed it (I plan to sell it anyway). That’s when I noticed there was a pool of varnish/gas along the bottom of the intake. I decided I would get all that cleaned up before trying to restart it.
I next turned to the grille. The first two photos show how bad the grille was bent. I can’t image what they hit. Thankfully, the radiator seems to be fine.
Using a variety of strategies, I flattened the grille and straightened the edges. One side smoothed out quickly. In the pic below, you can see the right side too a little extra bending to come out correctly.
Here’s the final result. I’m pleased.
I will still have to repair both sides of the grille where it mounts to the bottom mount. I haven’t decided how I was to repair those areas. Here’s the right side where it mounts to the frame. As you can see, the metal was cracked.
We returned to Pasco late yesterday. I won’t be going back to Seattle until after Halloween, so I brought back a box of goodies to work on.
Tom spotted this Jeep knife kit for sale.
“This is a vintage Jeeps advertising knife kit made by Imperial. It comes with five interchangeable tools, the instructions, and the original vinyl case. The case and the four tools stored loose are soiled and will need cleaning if you choose. The knife itself is in excellent condition. The imitation pearl handle doesn’t have a single chip, scratch or crack. The knife blade has the original sharp factory edge.”
