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 .

Check out the flattie on the bottom. Note how long the rear of the body is. I don’t see any indication that it was modded that way. Check out the old knobby tires in the back of it as well. Finally, what is sticking out from the passenger and driver’s side underneath the body of the CJ-2A?

(11/24/2010) This looks like a serious project.
“Though partially dismantled, this 1955 Jeep CJ3B is in fair condition but needs a new tub. Someone in its past really took good care of it but put carpeting on the floor. The person I bought it from had left it sitting outside for a couple of years so the wet carpet rotted the floors. The frame underneath is in great condition still. The original motor is complete but not running. It also has a PTO winch.
All-in-all, it would not be hard to restore or upgrade this little monster. I bought this 3B about 3 years ago, parked it in my garage, and started taking it apart. Around the same time, I took on a new job that has since absorbed the majority of my life. So now I feel I must get rid of some projects, this being one of them.”
