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 .
Craig found this article in the August 1956 issue of Jeep News. A pair of signs only cost $7.00 at the time.
Wish I could go back and order 20 of those!
No fooling, Bob. I just can’t justify the expense of original signs.. They go for CRAZY dollars. I guess I don’t quite get the disposable income that the buyers of these signs seem to have.
In any case I still love looking at them. They are so much better than today’s vinyl on plastic signs that won’t even be around 50 years from now. (Hmm. maybe I need to make a bunch of signs and stash them away for my future??)
Collectors are paying big money for these signs now, and they’re getting ripped off by not even having the original wrought iron hangers included!
Dave, have you ever seen any of these “sample signs” mentioned in this article?
I saw a couple on eBay when I came across this article and they were commanding large dollars!
Here you go! Buy one for $7 hang it outside for 50 years and sell it for $635 plus $42 for shipping! Only in America!

If only jeeps had appreciated in price that much . . .
it’s also hard to know what’s original these days
