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 $3000.
(05/072020) Unusual canopy setup.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/327792088204837/
“motor turns freely, needs restoration, new tires, PTO winch, plow , good glass, spot light, safari top, have repair metal for inside fenders, frame great, good suspension, few spare parts. Message me with questions”
Dave, Surprised the seller isn’t addressing that – perhaps because he’s flipping it and doesn’t know.
But I think that rigging was for a parade or something – like covering to make it look like something else.
Look at the 2 large dual note horns under the hood, on BOTH sides! Or….note the show plow frame in photo 3. Is that attached? This may also have been rigged for sun shade in the farm field, say, pulling a tomato wagon or something where a crew is on the back sorting. would be a nice canopy if you had to do that all day in the sun.
Decked up as the engine of an amusement train? (see sentence 2 above). Why else would there be enough horns under the hood to sound like a locomotive? There are at least 4 horns under the hood – 2 on each side.
Just checked the FB post. there’s a 5th and really big dual note semi type horn on the cab. All would be great to have when the one at the traffic light is too busy on their phone to see the green light. lol
I think that the canopy was to keep snow off while he was plowing. The horns would be to let other people know he was on the road. This is New Hampshire and it gets lots of snow. Any other ideas? Those white stains could be from Salt. I would look at this frame carefully.
Any ex snow plow jeep needs to be looked at very carefully. Gears, Bondo, undercoating. A jeep used for plowing with 25,000 miles would be like 50,000 to 75,000 regular driving.
Good thoughts guy; these odd ones are so fun.
Canopy reduces heat; LandRovers had available heat shields spaced off of roof
