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 .

This was the normal means od travel for us and our jeep trailer in 1978. The trailer had an tailgate and was set up for commo. work. I spent many nights sleeping in the center between commo. gear. This is where I spent my 21 birthday. The trail had canvas top on bows.
That twin rotor chopper is way cool!
The twin rotor helicopter is a Piasecki H-21 which was later made by Boeing. It’s powered by a Curtis-Wright R1820 radial engine mounted at an angle in the aft fuselage just forward of the round holes. The A and P school I attended had one and I really enjoyed working on it and learning about it. It’s big, it’s loud and the one I worked on would shoot flames out the exhaust stack when a magneto check was performed. Lots of fun for a bunch of young kids in winter.
That’s cool Paul, Kinda similar to the top one. It had the motor at an angle in the front compartment under the pilot.
