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 .

Not yet on Ebay.
The clutch is stuck, and it has not been on the road since 1991. The orignal data plates are on the dash, although they were painted over. The DOD date is Oct-54. It has 90% of the components and all of the major items. It was last inspected and driven on the roads of Pennsylvania in 1991. Although it does not currently run, the F-head engine does turn over and both the T-90 transmission and transfer case levers move. This jeep has a clear Pennsylvania title. Continue reading

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8400.
(08/16/2016) Could be a good price.
“This will get the neighbors talking! Willy’s 1949 Jeepster, very solid and no rust. Rebuilt engine, a few chips in the paint. Convertible top in fair condition with side curtains. Needs minor maintenance. $8,400 firm.”
Joe-in-Mesa let me know that Mike from History Channel’s American Pickers bought a 1950s wagon during an episode titled The Joy of Sax (this link may or may not work for people — it didn’t for me). He bought for $6000. Mike figured shipping it would be $1000, repairs would be $1000, bringing his total expected investment to $8000. He hoped to sell it for $10,500. Overall it looked to be a solid wagon. However, given it didn’t run and the tires needed replacing, I think he was underestimating the amount for repairs. Did anyone else see the show and have thoughts about it?
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9999.
Looks nice.
