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 militarized CJ-6 looks in good shape.

(12/04/2017) The serial number suggests this is a 1965. It looks to have a Kelly hardtop with Meyer doors?
“I just bought this at an auction last week without a title. It has been sitting a long time. Plate says 1971. Don’t know much about these old jeeps. Please try to figure out model/year etc. from firewall tag. I do not know. The engine seems seized. The floors are rotted & patched but frame & body mounts look very good. The plow set up is bolted on the frame & looks good too. The blade is rotted above cutting blade (but still useable). I have the rear tire chains too. I don’t want to part this out, but I will if it doesn’t sell soon. Just looking for something to plow around my lot. I do not want to have to rebuild the engine.”

Original, un-modified, un-changed from OEM configuration. Colorado Title.
L134 original motor, Split windshield. Rolling on a set of OEM Jeep 15 inch by 4.5 steel rims
No back seat.
Running and driving two years ago. Needs gone through.

History: This jeep was in one family for over 20 years. Five years ago Grandpa developed dementia. Two years ago he began taking things apart for no apparent reason. Unfortunately this was the case with the Jeep. Grandpa has passed and family moving. I bought the jeep and put it back together with what was there and what I could scrounge. This is a nice little jeep, a solid, good starter for father and son, father-daughter project. Motor turns freely and crystal clear oil came out of motor. Clean green coolant was in the radiator. This could be a terrific ranch or hunting jeep, or get it back on the road.
First $2,400 CASH OR CASH WITH MAN TRADE ITEM(S) TAKES IT! I am looking for a Snap On top and bottom box, tools, home protection and hunting items always a plus.”
