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 .
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $1500.
May be worth a look.

“1945 U.S. Army Willys Jeep, possibly the most sought after vintage vehicle in America. This is one nicely restored example of WWII transportation. It looks good at a cruise in, car show, parade or Military Vehicle Collector’s events. It will not disappoint. 4 military tread tires with 95% tread and a spare with 80% tread all on 16” combat rims.Top was new in 2015 and the transmission was gone through in 2016 and is fitted with Warn hubs. Converted to 12 volt system and has an “OOgah horn installed. The tub has been powder coated and it has been garaged since the restoration. I am posting this for my brother Lee who was in the U. S. Navy SeaBees in Viet Nam thus the Navy lettering. The photos in this post are photos of photos so they are not the best. Questions and contact can best be made directly to him with the phone number provided in this post. Neither he or I do the text thing. It is located near Payette Idaho and is being sold as is where is with no guarantees but you can start it up and drive it home if you wish. I have the same vehicle and it trailers like there is nothing behind you due to the low weight.”
I’ve not felt well all Monday. We’ll try for updates on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, I hear that the Old Willys Forum is down. Here’s more information on that from Pete from the Facebook page:
“A huge Thanks to everyone for being patient while we rework the forum! We’ve been down for nearly a week now, way longer than I expected… In the last nine years, the forum has never been down for more than 24 hours.
The conversion of the forum database to the new forum software is well underway,…. Getting the image attachments and gallery reconnected is the hardest part, and takes the longest. Once we get the basic forum up and running, we will be adding all the details back into the forum (graphics, icons, avatars, new features,etc) over the coming weeks.”
Updates will resume Tuesday.
Packrat shared this neat photo of a wagon at an In & Out Burger. I didn’t know In & Out featured Kentucky Fried Chicken (maybe for a short time .. I can’t find any history about that).
UPDATE III: Another version of this press photo is on eBay.
