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 runs and drives, but needs brakes.
“I have a rare 1973 Jeep CJ6 that I am offering for sale. I purchased it as a project, but soon thereafter, found another Jeep that needed my funds. It is pre-smog, and has no back fees, and has never been in the DMV system. I believe the miles to be original, as this Jeep was used as a hunting vehicle on a ranch here in Ca. It has a running straight 6 engine, and a 3 speed manual transmission, with a working Dana 20 transfer case. It has a Dana 30 front and Dana 44 rear axle. Included also is a spare D20 transfer case and driveshafts from a previous build.
The Jeep starts and drives, but has NO BRAKES, and will need to be trailered or towed. It cannot be street driven at this time.”
This article from the June 1955 issue of Willys News shares the brief story of Frank Tolbert’s 5,000 mile trip around the state of Texas. Accompanying Frank were Frank, Jr., and a CJ-5 then named Lola.
I have found a series of articles published over successive weeks in the Dallas Morning News about their trip. However, I have to sign up and pay a fee to use it. Anyone have free access? I would like to see what the article say before having to buy anything.

It is missing a few parts on the dash. The seller notes this is a frame off restoration, but one of the pics shows the primer being applied with the body (and other parts) still attached to the frame. Maybe I’m just confused.

“For Sale is a 1955 Willy’s Jeep. This is a 4 cylinder vehicle and is in very good condition. Tires and batteries are new. Engine turns over but that is as far as I’ve gone trying to get it started. This is a military vehicle. 4WD manual transmission with high and low range. I obtained this jeep through a storage unit auction. The jeep is as it was when coming out of the storage unit. I would also consider trades on a variety of items but if you want to make a trade please be sure the value of your item is commensurate with the value of the jeep or you could do trade plus cash if that is not the case. I have clear paperwork in the form of a “Transferrable NYS Registration” which is all you need (along with a sales receipt from me) to register this vehicle. Give a call if your interested. No responses to this email. Call or text only. The sale price is for the jeep not having been started. Once I go through the trouble of getting it started the selling price will be raised accordingly.”
