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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .
Seller has other FCs for sale as well.

“1964 cj2a Jeep excellent shape needs hoses and a little wiring project great bones they go for 93,000 finished so I don’t think three grand is out of line great project for a Jeep lover open to trades”
I had planned to do more updates last night but time got away from me. So, I’ll try to do some later today at some point.
Today, phase one of Ann’s garden is finally complete. I had hoped to have it done by Mother’s Day, but I missed that target date by three weeks. The biggest hurdle was that I had some mystery health issue with fatigue, uneasiness, sleep issues, and tightness in my chest (I really thought I might have a heart issue), yet I never felt sick or had a temp. I had attributed it to accidentally handling some strong fertilizer with my hands. However, over the last three days (which was a day after I went to see the doctor .. and he indicated he thought my heart was fine) everything has dissipated. Unfortunately, today Ann seems to have come down with what I had. So maybe it was type of illness after all??
Anyhow, I can now turn my attention back to the racer, finally. I have an extremely happy wife, which was worth all the work.
As a reminder, here’s what the area looked like when we first bought the place in April of 2021.
In Feb of 2022 we had the willows removed. Then I began tearing stuff down.
One year later, we have the following … And here we have a short video (yes, I do mention horses mooing and I accidentally call a rail a railroad tie … ) ?

Thanks to Roger for spotting this one. Given the PTO, I suspect there is value here. This is an early one.

“Cool project Willy’s Jeep Forward Control 150. Not totally sure on year but tag marked Willy’s. This FC150 has been sitting for some years but ran when it was parked. Does not run now. Wench has been used recently. No title. Says La Selva Beach on each side of the cab. Price is firm, no trades.”
The Willys Rally kicked off yesterday with beautiful, but hot weather, or so I am told. Tom sent me a some pics, followed by Roger Martin, who wore out his camera taking pics, so thanks to you both! So, there’s lots to look at. One highlight captured by both kind gentleman included a four-seat empire tractor, which looks really well done.
Looks nice. Engine compartment paint needs some work.
