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 .
Happy Oolie Christmas Dave, good luck,and enjoy your day off!!!!
Have a great day off. We’ll find a way to cope without eWillys for one day …it is just one day, right!?!?
BTW, Roberto Flores posted dozens of his incredible Flat Fender Drawings on Facebook yesterday. You could do a whole daily update just on his latest art :-).

I feel terribly out of the loop. What is “Oolie Christmas”?
Craig, it has been a few years since I explained it.
“Ann’s family is arriving this weekend to celebrate Oolie Christmas. Yes, it is Christmas in February. Why Christmas in February? Because her family (large family) was too busy to gather at Christmas. What’s an oolie Christmas? It’s a family celebration of Christmas started by Ann’s grandmother, who suffered a brain injury in a car wreck. After the wreck, she couldn’t do a lot, but one thing she could do was go to thrift stores. So, she’d go to thrift stores all year around until she had a huge collection of pretty bizarre presents (they’d fill half a bedroom). The presents weren’t addressed to anyone; instead, they were passed out until everybody had one. Then, everyone shouted OOLIE and opened the presents all at once. Presents ranged from broken clocks, to playboy magazines (even the kids ended up with these sometimes), to home-made items. Once presents were opened, another round of presents were handed out, ‘oolie’ was yelled again and unwrapping commenced once more.
After Ann’s grandmother passed away the tradition died. However, a few years ago Ann and her cousins decided to restart the tradition. The advantages are: it’s inexpensive, there is no buying stress, and, with about 40 people in one large living room, it is wild!
Sounds like awesome fun. So a little more clarification why ooile? And who is shopping for all the odd presents?
Oolies began as little decorations made from whatever materials were around. The name was later applied to the event.
Everyone who attends shops for odd presents (or finds things around their house or makes odd things). Whatever items folks don’t want are put in a box and taken to a local Goodwill.
