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: Price dropped to $5950.

Looks like a parts FC.
“This is a parts truck only! NO TITLE!! Lots of rust & rot. BUT!!! it is all there. 5 OEM wheels, engine, trans, transfer case, front and rear differentials, suspension, interior components, intact engine dog box with lids, battery box lid (working), spare tire carrier, parking lights, door handles, emblems, seat frames, head light doors, the drive shaft is bent but it’s there. Engine IS STUCK!!. The last time it was on the road was 1977. To bad about the glass (idiots), no bullet holes in body.
I bought this about 2 years ago hoping to find an FC to restore, no such luck. I could not bring myself to allow it to be crushed/scraped.”
Not sure why the seller thinks this is a “m138 military model”.

Blaine’s brother Brian spotted this long list of jeep models (old and new … looks like around 200 different jeep models). So, if you are looking for a model to go along with your jeep or your jeep has broken your pocket, so all you can afford is a model, here you go:
I remember this song fondly. It was on the first and only album (Wolf Creek Pass) my father brought home for me. I think he won it as a door price at some jeep event. Thanks to Maury for sharing the link. You’ll notice that the person who assembled the photos didn’t know the difference between a CJ-5 and CJ-7….
