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 .

Dave, exactly how wild do the modern Moab gatherings get?
I couldn’t speak to how “wild” it gets. For me is was more about the sheer volume of people and jeeps.
When we entered town from the south at 10am on the Thursday before Easter, I thought Easter jeep week was already over (clueless me). Then, as we neared Moab, we began passing what seemed like endless lines of jeeps heading in large groups for trails (see the 42-second mark of this video for an example of the size of groups we were seeing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw8oeNRFI5w). Near town, we began to see all kinds of campers and jeeps. As we drove through town, every parking lot, gas station, and parking spot, seemed full of jeeps. Near the north end of town were at least ten long staging areas. Just past the entrance to Arches National Park were additional large groups waiting to go on trails.
We saw jeeps of all kinds, including flatties, but there were so many jeeps coming and going down main street that it just didn’t seem worth it to pull off to take photos. Ann gave up pointing out jeeps, because they were everywhere.
For me, it was kind of overwhelming, a stark contrast to the quiet town I’ve been through every couple years since 1995. I like southern Utah for its remoteness, a trait which will continue to erode as the populations in Phoenix, Vegas, and Salt Lake have grown.
