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 .

page 2. Atomic Blast To Test Willys Vehicles. Well that explains it! Around 1973 I was stationed at a Navy radio station in Stockton CA where the government also had a large property disposal office (PDO). Saw a train load of mid-50s Willys trucks, wagons and panels come onto the base for auction. Faded chalk white with faded black stenciling on the doors UNITED STATES ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION for official use only. So I had to ask, “From where?” Answer: Nevada test site. Don’t laugh, I know which surplus dealers bought them. Always wondered if they’d glow in someone’s garage.
About this time, the decision was made to discontinue Willys car production. The Custom and Bermuda models lines were stopped. Does anyone know the actual date production ceased and Serial Numbers involved? I thought we might see an announcement in Willys News.
Barney: That’s just scary. I hope, at the very least, they ran detectors on them before they left Nevada!
