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 .

“Read!!!! Currently not Running!!! Does not Run!!! This Jeep has been built into a great trail rig that would probably also drive well on the road. It has a later model front axle with disc brakes front and rear. Also it has power steering and sway bars that are also great for the street. It has a s10 4.3 engine. I’m currently not getting power at the switch. I’m not the best with electrical. I’m open to trades on dual sport motorcycles and dune buggies possibly a jet boat for the river. I’m going to apply for a title soon”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3500.
(07/19/2023) It’s a project.

UPDATE: Here’s a video that goes through a variety of the vehicles up for auction:
==============================
This Seffes Auctioneers estate auction is for the Ken Yuly Military Vehicle collection. There are quite a few different jeep vehicles. There are MBs, GPWs, M-151s, M-170s, M-38s, M-274s, CJ-2A, trailers, parts, military Dodges, and more.

“Jeep is in its original condition from the military, our county got it from the Illinois emergency service agency in 1980 and by 1986 they parked it. It has been sitting ever since. Engine is stuck, comes with top with all the sides. I also have a lot of parts I have been collecting to get the Jeep running, I don’t have the time for it right now.”
Listed as a 1952, this is missing the correct fenders and lacks the hinged grille. It also has a V-6.
