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 .
This might be worth a look.

This image was published in the Flesherton Advance on December 23, 1942. No jeep, but the sentiment is good.
The caption reads: In a world of Dreary blackouts the Christmas Star of Hope and Peace shines on . . . a prophecy of what shall be and a symbol of that for which free men still suffer and strive. May is gleam lighten all the world this Christmastide.
With Mrs. Maude Smith around, there was no call for Mr. Smith to learn to drive. Funny article published in the May 1956 issue of Willys News.
This May 1955 issue of Willys News includes this photo celebrating Monrovia, California’s, Monrovia Days Parade. The city still holds the parade.
Neat photo.

“Hunters and outdoors man heads up on a great flat fender Willy’s Jeep. Motor 283 Chevy small block, 4 speed aluminum transmission, bikini soft top, original windshield, tail gait, running gear, axles, transfer case, under seat fuel tank, even has the original bill of sale from 1948. Lots of original parts come with it. Fiberglass removable hood, 33-1250 tires, light bar, and tow bar. Ran in the Big Nasty a few years back and placed 6th. Set up for climbing or off road, has 4 point racing seats and bench, full role cage. This is a goat and will climb more than it should. Has been in some extreme places and preformed like you would expect an old Willy’s to. Won’t last long so jump on it while it is still being offered. Only reason I am selling is we have 2 of them and this is the one I chose to sell.
Would consider trades for combinations of Cash along with 4 wheeler/ATV’s kids and adults, 250 4 stoke dirt bike, Tractor, Backhoe or large RV Camper with Bunk Beds and preferably a slide out. Or other outdoor toys of equal value, what do you have?”

“Selling my 1953 Willy’s Jeep, its a CJ3B first year of the high hood model. This jeep starts right up, drives all day, its not a corvette but it will climb over one! It does have the original motor and transmission, transfer case, most of the wiring is original. This jeep is more than 60 years old so it does need some TLC, it needs brake line and/or the brake master cylinder fixed and a couple of the gauges (which are all original) also need some attention, needs new windshield wipers (front glass is near perfect) and driver side mirror. There is very little rust and no cancer that I have found. It has two new tires on the rear and comes with a spare carburetor and a new carburetor kit for it. New battery, original oil filter etc, etc, etc.
Has a variety of new parts.
