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 .

I can’t imagine why anyone would turbocharge an original four cylinder engine, that’s like putting lipstick on a pig. You can do it but I don’t believe the engine will last long.
Dave, lets put lipstick on the engine and turbocharge the pig. It makes more sense and just imagine how fast you could get bacon to your house.
oops .. I accidentally deleted my own comment .. lol … this goes in between Paul’s comments
But sometimes you just gotta try putting the lipstick on to see how the pig looks and how fast it will run … well, I might have lost the metaphor at the end there …
Totally understandable, it’s getting late and it’s close to a full moon.
What effect would turbo have on a long stroke motor? I guess it’s a question someone had at some point.
You know…..that looks a LOT like a turbo and sidedraft carburetor from a Corvair Spyder turbo.
whether practical or not (maybe it doesn’t work at all??) I think it looks really inventive.
I’m a huge turbo enthusiast and you can make them work on almost anything.
I agree with deilers and I commend the adventurous soul who, LONG before turbos were “it”, put this little set-up together. 🙂
