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 .
UPDATE: Price dropped to $500. No drive train.

This was for sale awhile back, I commented on the bumpers. Looking closely at the rear mural, I think this Jeep was used as a sprint car push start vehicle, which does explain the bumpers.
I was thinking the same thing, that it was a push start vehicle.
How do I contact who ever is selling this jeep?

For 500 bucks, even without a drive train, what a good deal. Push bumpers were common place back in the 1950’s & 60’s. My dad’s 1950 CJ3A had a HUGE Diamond Plate steel, ( Not aluminum ) Welded to the front bumper, heavy stuff. The Jeep had been owned by the Port of Authority of NY to push stalled cars out of the Lincoln Tunnel.( #1905 painted on the hood) That’s how they used to do things back in the day when cars had REAL BUMPERS, that’s way they called them bumpers!!! If you had a plow lift, an old used tire hung from the ram gave you a nice soft damage free push. Just another Jeep tale from the MEMORY Vault.
My dad and I built this jeep in 1987 when I was in high school. The back bumper was on the front. My dad passed a few years ago and I’ve been looking for it for a long time. If anyone knows who the owner is, I’d really like to talk with them.
Thanks,
