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 .

Hand throttle? Is that even safe?
Check out the vintage lawn chairs: is that a helicopter seat belt harness?
Interesting… to say the least.
I’m glad to hear titles are easy to get somewhere.
I guess it depends on what the seller means by hand throttle? When I was twelve I had a go-kart. The throttle cable broke while I was driving it near my friend’s house (yes, I drove it around the neighborhood to get to my friend’s house, but that was back in the good old days). To fix the throttle, I rigged up a string, tying a knot to the broken cable. Satisfied with fix, I drove it around some dirt roads, until I was ready for a brake.
On my return to my friend’s house I was traveling down a dirt hill at full speed and began to swing into my friend’s garage, so I let off on the string, but the go kart didn’t decelerate (the knot got stuck, keeping the engine running full blast). I froze with the go-kart heading straight into the garage. All I remember seeing were plate glass windows (just the glass) arranged along the rear of the garage. I figured things were going to end BADLY.
The next thing I knew I was sitting in the motionless go-kart, the engine was off, and I was point toward the front of the garage. I don’t remember how it happened, but somehow my right front wheel hit wood blocks holding up a project car sitting on the right side of the garage. It was not something I aimed to hit, but my wheel hit it just enough to spin me around and somehow that shut off the engine. I was shaking so bad I couldn’t stand up.
I’ve had two crazy things in my life that I just can’t explain. That was one experience.
The second happened in New York City when I was 18 and it is just too surreal that I am not sure what to think.
Needless to say, I don’t use ropes or hand controls on ANY vehicles, lol.
