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 .
I’m back after a couple of days of camping. Since I worked while camping, I took last night off. However, I do have several posts for today. Enjoy!

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….

“Hello this listing is for a 1942 Willys MB Jeep. It has been disassembled by my brother and I and as more projects came up this one got set aside. Now instead of letting it rot away we thought we’d pass it on to the next lucky owner. This was our grandfather’s Jeep and has been in our family for as long as I can remember, 30 or 40 years!
The engine was started two years ago and it went into gear without a problem.of course that was before we took it apart last winter. However we haven’t disassembled any parts of the drivetrain it is all still intact. The engine isn’t correct for the vehicle it was rebuilt and installed in the 80s and probably only has a couple thousand miles on it. It’s a 1956 L head out of a cj3b if I remember correctly. I remove the starter to see if it would work in another Willys we have but it didn’t so that will be with it as well I’ll try to install it in the next couple days if it doesn’t sell right away.
The floors were pretty rusted so we remove them and bought brand new front and rear replacement floor kits! For the two floor panels and a couple of gauges we bought at the same time for this Jeep it was over $1,200!
Does not include the bed.
