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 .
Is this a factory option or period correct aftermarket option or something that was added later?

“complete with all components.”

UPDATE: Yesterday when I looked at the article, I am pretty sure Jeep was listed #1. I just looked again and now Jeep is #2. Hmmmm ….
Thanks to Brian for sharing this. According to Forbes Magazine, the hottest collectible car or truck is the jeep [edit … 2nd hottest]. I’m not sure how Forbes measured that result. The problem is that this article is moreclick-baitish than a heavily researched analysis. (and, yes, the article starts with the phrase. $8,800 …)

Registered and drive it every week! Only thing it needs are the items that you want to update and customize for your taste and use.

UPDATE: This is a first edition of Jerry the Jeep, but it isn’t in very good condition (and very high priced).

“Does not run the Jeep is pretty rusty as you can see in the picture”
It appears the gas tank has been moved to atop the cargo area and an inlet was added to the tailgate.

“I’m listing my Willy’s restoration. I have a kid on the way so cash would be more useful. However, the project will continue if it doesn’t sell for what I need. The engine, trans and transfer case have all been rebuilt. The trans will be picked up this week from the shop. The frame has been sanded and POR. The body, fenders, windshield frame and tailgate is all brand new and has not been mounted yet. The power train should all be mated in the next few weeks. After that the body goes on and she gets paint. Price will go up as the restoration continues.”
