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 .

Matt spotted this rare dual intake manifold manufactured by Burns. I’ve never run across one.
“Up for auction are a used Burns aluminum 2 X 1 barrel carburetor intake manifold along with the cast iron exhaust manifold and two Carter YF carburetor cores for a Willys Jeep four cylinder 134cid L-head engine. Although there seems to be a plethora of accessories for vintage Willys Jeeps there exists very few horsepower enhancements for the early Jeep flat head four cylinder motors. A few after market manufacturers in the 1950’s such as Hickey Enterprises developed a high compression cylinder head and Burns, who had been manufacturing aluminum 2X1 intake manifolds for Model A and Model B Ford banger motors, developed and intake manifold for the Willys Jeep four cylinder L-head engine .
