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 .
Chris spotted this Jeep dealer photo taken in Galax, Virginia, on a Carroll County Facebook page. If you look carefully, you’ll see the round ‘Service’ Jeep sign (painted?) on the building with an extra large “P”.
There’s still a Mink Motor Sales company that sells used cars. I can’t tell if this venture is the same location as shown in in the pic below.
I love this photo! And note the Studebaker ( pronounced StooDE’baker here in S. Ohio) Avanti at the far right. Growing up in Houston, my next door neighbor won a 62 Lark for submitting the winning name of the new Houston baseball team – The Colt 45s. Two years later the name was changed to the Astros after Judge Roy Hofheinz built the Astrodome.
Great shot. Thank you for posting.
I grew up in Portsmouth virginia and didn’t see no stinking jeeps ? – well I did have a jeep pedal car ..

That’s a sweet nearly stock 2wd Wagon there in Reno. Looks like a fair price.
The dealership is now a printing shop. Notice the wall and fence. Residence to the right of the building.

Well, thought I should check here first before I spent time looking for the dealer’s former location with Google satellite. Didn’t. Figured the building would likely be on the main drag, and then saw the unusual roof line and frontal footprint. Confirmed the angled front wall by the unique corner interlacing the block work in the pic, house to the right, and behind with a single center chimney. HA! Found it!
