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 $15,000.
Wes found this unusual, old school CJ-5 for sale at the Great Lakes Forum.

Those tires again.
Looks like a Tuxedo Park.
Does anyone know when the Super Jeep was produced and what made it different, other than decals? I am looking to write an article about it. I know it was made in 72 + 73. Any other years?
I’d never heard of it until you mentioned it, but I don’t know that much about he special edition CJ-5s.
Here’s a little info from the four wheeler mag.
“Many special editions existed for the CJ-5, including the 1964-68 Tuxedo Park; the 1969 Camper; the 1969 “462” model; the 1971 Renegade I; the 1972-83 Renegade II; the 1972 Super Jeep; and the 1977-83 Golden Eagle. The CJ-5 has been the basis for countless trail buildups and probably logged more trail miles than any other Jeep. Shown in the magazine is a ’73 Renegade II. This package featured a 304cid V-8 (the first V-8 in a short-wheelbase utility), Mag wheels and a host of other goodies that included a Powr-Lok rear limited-slip.” (http://www.fourwheeler.com/thehistoryof/129_9709_jeepposter/index3.html)
So, was the Super Jeep really produced in both years, or was it only produced in ’72, but stock was still available in ’73, so some were sold as 73s?
It sounds like a good story. I’d like to learn what motivated the creation of the model as well.
Wes,
If you haven’t seen it yet, here’s a link to a SUPER JEEP Poster that might be useful for your piece on super jeeps .. http://www.allthingsjeep.com/art-0002-3742.html
