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: Bill took a variety of pictures, including the speedometer picture below.

Bill writes, “Another victim of Katrina….I wonder if I could get a government grant to restore it? Found 10 miles from the epicenter of the storm. Was under 20 feet of salt water, never washed off until years after the storm. A few rare parts and a LOT OF ROT..”
David, he has photos up now. Looks good for the money. I’ll be someone sweeps this up
Thanks … am finally back online after some technical difficulties … specifically my computer ran out of power and my converter blew a fuse. HORRORS!!
I think that’s an Amphicar beside it!
I was thinking that was an Amphicar too. Damn, I wish I was nearby, that Surrey would have to come home with me.
UPDATE: The auction has been deleted by its author this morning. No further info known at this time.
From what we know now, this was a Katrina victim. Sure looks good in pix for taking a salt water bath how many years ago??? It should look like the Amphicar beside it.
Looked great in the pics but up close and personal…..not so good. Over at the 3B dispatcher board there is some more discussion on it, and a link to my pictures of it.. It now resides in Coleman, Texas but restoration may be beyond me.This picture says it all. Jeep was under 20 feet of salt water that overflowed the levee and demolished the owner’;s house leaving just the foundation.
oh no! I will add the picture to this post. I didn’t know it was possible for critters to make it into the speedometer!
