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 .

A McHenry, Illinois, dealer created an obstacle course for potential buyers to test jeeps. The February 1956 issue of Willys News reported this.
Both Paul and Ted spotted this color Willys MA photo. It’s part of a collection of photos. You can see them below.

It runs.
“I have a 1946 Willys jeep, runs and a mostly solid body. The jeep runs but is a work in progress, the transmission and clutch are pretty stiff from sitting so it does not drive.

We had the last of the family Christmases last night. So, no updates were planned. But, naturally during true middle of the party a corrupt file brought down the site. I properly ignored the problem and enjoyed myself anyway (as you can see below).
Everything is working correctly now. Even I am functioning pretty well 🙂
UPDATE: Still Available.
