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 wish the picture was more of a closeup. This picture comes from Florida Memory.
“Hillsborough County Health Dept. Mosquito Control project fogging for pests. Early mosquito control spraying consisted of making a “thermal fog,” in which hot diesel oil was mixed with a DDT solution and then vaporized.”

I’m sure you wont be talking to the guy driving in that picture, as I’m sure he died from spraying vaporized DDT not long after it was taken.
Yea I remember this , I and all the other kids used to run behind the sprayers and hide in the smoke, nothing like good ole DDT.
lol .. and to this day do bugs ever bother you? 🙂
I remember this as well. Like David, we used to follow the fogger on our bikes for hours. Vaporized diesel + DDT; never bothered us. Of course, trying to find gloves with six fingers is a little difficult. 🙂
