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 .

That has to be the coolest fire truck ever.
Amazing. Gorgeous paint 🙂
I was going to say it’s sitting too high but noticed it’s still on jack stands. Probably has a better stance with weight on wheels.
This is an excellent use for this! Probably a great vehicle to get kids interested in fire safety. Now all he needs is a dalmatian (and a bikini clad assistant).
The wheels ruin it for me
I agree with Seth. I also liked the dual emergency lights on the first picture.
There’s no front axle underneath it yet, just mocked up. I think it’s to high too…no on the wheels.
He should have left it original. Another vintage jeep fire truck lost.
Man, I’m a torn on this one…
That “before” looks like a terrific survivor. Sure appears that it would have cleaned up nice, and been a terrific example of period fire apparatus.
The fire truck bodies, with the various components as flat as they are, look like they’d be relatively easy to simulate. Probably even simpler than even a standard FC pick up body.
I’d be surprised if it’s still sitting on any of the FC frame.
This dude could have found any old FC cab and — with about the same effort — ended up with pretty near the same “after.”
He paid HIS money though, and he built HIS truck.
He’s certainly created a bitchin’ ride, but I fear — in the process — he’s completely exorcised that old hero’s soul.
The hight and wheels are a NO NO for me. Everything else is very nice. Im pretty amazed at the plumbing on the front platform on first pic.
I’d vote to stay with DRW as they were a special breed and very scarce today, especially in fire garb. But It’s not our call, “We Ain’t Got a Nickel in It”.
