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 .

Teach me, Obe Dave kenobe… these are called hurricane wheels and turbine wheels are similar but have several more spokes? Or are these and the ones with more spokes one and the same and refered to as either?
Todd, that same question occurred to me the other day! What IS the difference between Hurricane and Turbine rims, Dave?
At some point I’d like to gather some old literature that accurately discriminates between the styles of rims (Ansen, Western Cyclone, and others who made these vintage aluminum rims) so I can present hard, fast rules about the topic.
Until that time, I call rims that have approx 10-16 splines or fins Hurricane rims (example here, though it is 8 lug http://www.akhwheels.com/pages/showWheel.php?pk=547 ) and rims that have about double that number of fins Turbine rims (example here http://www.ewillys.com/2014/12/28/4-hurricane-rims-dalton-ga-200/). On Craigslist and ebay folks tend to call anything with fins ‘Turbine rims’, so it does get confusing.
Btw, if you look through AKH’s vintage wheel site for trucks you’ll see there are a variety of names for the slot rims: Ansen, Ansen Appliance, etc — http://www.akhwheels.com/pages/inventory.php?cat=6
