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 .
Lots of updates to this one.

UPDATE: Still Available
(for sale since 2010) It runs, but smokes, and has no title.
“This is a good working vehicle that has been used for Off-Road only. The jeep itself has had a rebuilt engine installed, Starter, Alternator, K&N Air Filter, Electronic Distributor, and Head Gaskets. It does also include a very nice set of skull gear shift handles (lol) along with a double gun rack. Runs well in rough situations and can handle almost any kind of terrain. There are a couple things that is does need; first it needs a set of rings because it smokes a little, and sometimes it pops out of second gear (may need a synchronizer). This does not have a title, we have never needed one because it was never registered. This listing does not include the wench in the picture. Please call with any questions! $1500.00 obo.

Bob took this photo and reports, “I shot this today in waynesburg, Ohio. It’s a 1945 GPW that went up for auction. It was good looking from 25 feet but had some bad floor repairs, a bit if painted over rust, wrong motor, wrong seats, etc. went for $4700. There were a lot of little parts to be had also but nothing special.”
The seller notes this is a “Korean War Replica”. . . . sigh. I can’t make this stuff up. Nice looking jeep though.
