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 will be auctioned October 21st.

These are likely WW2 era as they came off an MB-T trailer I recently acquired. All bolts are present. Data plates are also present, but painted over.
The wheels are sound & fully intact. I pulled the trailer 60 miles on a major highway at 65mph with no issue. The rims have been painted some time in the past.
Of note: I have not tried to unbolt or separate these wheels.
The radial tires are mounted & included in the sale. The tires have 75% of tread left.
I do not want to ship these.
$350 cash for the pair of rims & tires.
I can also take Paypal if you cover the 3% fee. Less”

John’s selling this clean looking 1982 CJ-7.
“1982 Jeep cj7 for sale. Has the 4.2l I-6 engine. Transmission is the t-5 5 speed. Rear end is the amc30 the front axle is the dana 30. It has the stock transfer case. The odometer says 29,xxx I would assume its 129xxx. The previous owner said it was a maintenance vehicle for a hospital so I am not sure on the mileage. The motor runs great and it shifts great. Brand new clutch with less than a 500 miles. This is not the typical cj with every wire under the dash cut and spliced. Everything works on it with the exception of the windshield washer. It is not currently installed. I do have the spare tire carrier, extra front seat, hard top, bikini top, and hard doors. I only use it in the summer. I get complements every time I drive it. Clean title. No trades—- only cash!!!!”
