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: **SOLD** Was $4800 at one point. You can see this one for sale again here.

“Take a look at this 1967 Jeepster Convertible! It comes with a reserved parking spot in the no sulk zone. It’s hard not to smile at the thought of jumping into this classic SUV for a Sunday cruise, to the Saturday tailgate or for a Tuesday grocery run. In fact this four seat convertible with a smooth running V6 motor and automatic transmission is a family favorite everyday of the week.

No windshield or windshield frame. No tail gate or roll bar. Comes with several other items from stock trans. Clean clear AZ title in my name. If you are not up for some welding and lots of work then this one is not for you unless you just want a title and vin tag for your other project.”

A 1952 article in the Toledo Blade shared the news that King Farouk had purchased 12 specially-built jeeps with red leather seats, white metal wheels, and other unique features.
Unfortunately, I cannot locate any photos for these 12 jeeps. I was able to find find this photo that shows Faourk riding in what appears to be a 1946ish CJ-2A.
From Wikipedia: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ModernEgypt,_Farouk_I_in_Military_Uniform,_DHP13655-10-17_01.jpg
Farouk collected a wide variety of cars, according to prewarcar.com. The lineup shown below are just a few of his cars and include a WWII jeep.
Just a carguy has a few pics of Farouk’s cars, too: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-farouk-car-collection.html
