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 .
This one has some odd hood vents.

“For sale 1946 Jeep Willy’s Project vehicle. I bought this 1946 Jeep Willy’s to rebuild with my grandson we love 4-wheeling and thought it would be a cool project. We torn it apart and now it sits collecting dust taking space in the garage. The Jeep has all the parts, axles, seats, 4-wheel drive components etc. including 2 engines and transmissions. The frame is OK but the body is well let’s say “needs a lot of work look at the pictures! If your looking for a cool Project have the time give me a call. It has a clean title and I am open to offers.”
Looks like a former Shriner Jeepster.

I think this is the first truck on a later model Jeep chassis that I’ve seen. Appears to have worked pretty well.

We made some good progress on the backyard. Ann’s mom took a couple arial photos. We still have to add some pea gravel and a few other updates before winter arrives. In the Spring Ann plans to plant along the dirt sections left open between the path and the rocks.
On Monday we went up to Spokane for a wedding. We’ll return to Pasco on Wed. My son and his girlfriend arrive on Friday, then we head to Seattle on Saturday or Sunday for a few days.
