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 .
Gayland spotted this one. It might have a dent at the top, but otherwise looks to be a good price.

“29 spline Warn Saturn Overdrive – will fit a T-90/Dana 18 transmission/transfer case. Run that vintage Jeep a little faster and run with lower RPM’s. This overdrive was recently re-built by Herm the Overdrive guy. It is fully functional. I had it in my FC 150 but could not get the linkage worked out to my satisfaction. Ended up selling the FC (for other reasons) and now want to find a good home for this overdrive. Comes complete and ready to install with everything you need (including a new “special” retainer clip) DOES NOT INCLUDE SHIFTER OR LINKAGE – but these are easily fabricated. This unit has low mileage and shows hardly any wear.”

UPDATE ON ME: Like Lazarus, I have risen once again to rejoin the living! Whoo hoo!
For my first post back, I doubt Willys Overland could have paid a reviewer for a better review of their wagon. This review was featured in the February, 1947 issue of Mechanix Illustrated that I bought off of eBay.
Also, thanks go to several readers who donated funds prior to Christmas. This allowed me to purchase multiple items, including all the brochures/articles featured since Christmas Eve.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.

“I’m thinking of selling my 1978 Jeep Viasa CJ6. Its a Spanish made CJ6 by visa with a SOFIM 74hp Diesel engine in it. I purchased it over in Italy and brought it back. Been slowly Jeep-a-sizing it but I’ve got 2 teenagers now and would like to see it go to a good Jeeper. No tire kickers please. If there is another version of this Viasa Jeep in the US I’d be surprised, pretty cool ride.”
