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 .

It’s been 21 years since I picked this great piece of American history more or less abandoned out of the backwoods of Maine and brought it home as my first truck I owned as a 17 year old. My family and I began the 2 1/2 year restoration project. While it was a learning experience as well a family project well worth every second of work. It has now come time to get it in the hands of another owner. I have decided to let her go to invest in a Home. Engine runs great and drive train works perfect. Brakes have been bled and have been a bit spongy but they work. Custom Stereo, 3 alphasonik Amps, JBL subs, Digital Signal Processor, Pioneer separates. Custom interior and Paint with airbrushing. Won a best in class award at a Car show years ago. We sandblasted the whole body and it had minimal body damage. Could be a great frame off project or a minor TLC work and drive and enjoy. Yes it is a hard thing to pass along but its time. It has been garage kept since I got it. I have a full photo album of work done. Only serious buyers please. Not many of these in this condition left. Plenty of extra parts along with it. Time to Let this baby go to a good new home. Another baby on the way. . ..”

“I am clearing inventory and have a lot of vintage Willys Jeep parts for sale.

Transmissions.
Steering columns.
Pretty much you name the part, I have it.
This is good time to get a great price.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(10/31/2014) This may be a good price.
“I have a 1950 Jeep Willys Wagon for sale or possible trade. Truck is in running condition with current tags. Has a 350 small block conversion. Some interior restoration has been done, but still needs more work of course. I just don’t really have the time for it right now, and am always interested in other opportunities. Body does contain rust and could use some restoring or is still drivable as is. Missing a few windows and transmission or clutch needs to be looked at as reverse seems to not shift into gear sometimes. All other gears work great and so does four wheel drive and transfer case. Has newer style offroad seats in front currently. Also has 33 inch tires.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $9500.
