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: This is also known as a “Jiffy Jeep”
I thought I had posted a similar video about a competition; maybe I just saw that video somewhere. Anyhow, this is a fun video to watch. Thanks for forwarding it Felix! If the video doesn’t work, try going here.
I don’t remember where I saw the Jeep “take apart” competition video, but here’s the link I bookmarked. If I remember right, I found this here on E-willys. This is really cool to watch. It gives you inspriation to start another project. Jeeps are just this simple! Then I got to thinking, I wouldn’t climb any hills with this quick release Jeep….. Still cool none-the-less.

It’s so quick that I missed the part where they bled the brakes…Or did they?
Or drained the radiator …
Dave i sent it to you awile back,, You know i didnt see the brakes bled or the radiator refilled… Guess them boys are good,,,
Ok, I need to hunt that post down … I didn’t mark it with a video tag.
I had a discussion with Sam about the video this afternoon. He and Lee talked this video over and here are their thoughts.
The radiator probably uses a quick disconnect system of some kind, so no drainage necessary, similar to something used on aircraft.
They probably use a radio controlled transfercase brake.
The tranny is likely a radio controlled automatic with forward and reverse.
They likely use a radio controlled carb (notice no gas pedal cable).
It appears they use a one wire distributor to simplify the electrical.
Here it is … a mechanics competition: http://www.ewillys.com/?p=39373
It’s all the these little details that makes it slow to tear down and rebuild a vehicle. We just need to skip all those pesky bolts, wires and hoses.
