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 .
They aren’t jeeps, but these rigs surf the Silver Lake sand dunes with passengers, and have been doing so since 1930. I’ve included some post cards of older dune tour vehicles below. To see all pics, or to schedule your next dune ride, check out Mac Wood’s Dune Rides here.

I’ve been going to Silver Lake my whole life. Great place to see every Jeep imaginable. Mac Woods has always been mostly International Harvesters, and they still have some cool old ones sitting around. The new fleet is Ford. There also use to be Bill’s dune rides. They had mostly Dodge power wagons. The 70’s was a great time to grow up at the dunes!
Probably not a problem back then, but I imagine Liability insurance premiums would be huge. I assume the new vehicles have seat belts and roll cages.
Hi Mac,
Request your assistance. Am attempting to track down a 1947 CJ-2A jeep my grandfather Henry Whittall purchased brand new in Eugene Oregon and sold it 3 years later. I have the original “Operation and Care Manual” but does not have any other information as in VIN or stock number. I have the license plate number. Called OR DMW and they can provide a list of automobiles my grandfather owed but he himself would have to request the list (due to HIPAA and PII they will not release to me). Too late for that, he passed away in 1980.
This is cool. Besides jeeps, I own 3 International 4×4 trucks. Thanks for sharing.
HI Jeffrey,
I wish I had better news, but without the VIN, it is very difficult to track down old jeeps. They were so often modified and painted (especially in the Pacific Northwest) that that even if you had a photo or two of it, identifying it might be impossible.
If you have other questions, feel free to email me at d@ewillys.com

I ended up buying the postcard with the International truck… thanks for posting!
Niels,
You bet! It’s a neat postcard. I’ve marked it sold.

Very cool old post cards Dave! I have a soft spot for people movers…
Craig, I have a soft spot for people movers and an even softer spot in my wallet that so far has prevented me from obtaining a people mover, lol 🙂
