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 $3500.

<– Day 15 – Sunday May 13th: Great Scott, Another Jungle Jims? | Day 17 – Tuesday May 15th: Cheese N’ Hardware –>
Thanks to Rick and Paulette for letting us take their Jeepster for a spin!
Day 16: Monday we drove from Cincinnati to Columbus, Ohio, via Roger and then Rick and Paulette’s places.
Monday’s trip took us from Cincinnati to Columbus, Ohio.
The first step towards facing your problem is admitting you have a problem. Yes, I have a problem. I have Jungle-Jim-itus. After saying our goodbyes to Scott, our first stop of the day was at Jungle Jims (just happened to be on our way, sort of). Our goal was to explore the gluten free aisle, then check out the coffee aisle. We were fairly well-behaved and managed to leave with only a few items.
When you need a map for a grocery store, you know you are in a big one!
Our second stop of the day was at Roger Martin’s house, where he plans on holding another Southwest Ohio FC gathering this summer. Since we won’t be around for that event, I got to have some early hands on FC fun. Roger’s been working on a green and gray FC-170. It runs great, but needs some more body work. He pulled it out of the garage and let me drive it around his property. I liked that it didn’t have a windshield!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $14,500.
Looks nice.

Seller will sell without engine as well. Does not run. Those headlights are an interesting choice. The front of the roll cage is bolted to the windshield. What does the duct-work(?) on the dash do?

For $50, this looks like a good price.
“Roll Cage out of a CJ2a Willy’s Jeep between 1946-49”

This fiberglass bodied CJ-5 has numerous custom mods. I’m curious as to whether the cage is bolted to the frame at all. No wipers?

Thanks to Ted for spotting this one. It’s got a Bobcat Fiberglass body. This still needs some work. It lacks an engine.
“If you like to tinker with cars and looking for a shop project this winter, look no further!
Perfect opportunity to finish building this unique, one of a kind vehicle for the streets or beach. Custom built fiberglass 2WD Jeep set up for small block Chev. 2A body style with full cage roll bar and leather bucket seats. Never driven and kept in secure, covered storage. As the original owner, I started this project with my dad in 1972. After he passed, I took over the family farm and haven’t had time to finish what we started. I would love nothing more than to see someone with passion for building and retro vehicles get this Jeep up and running.”
