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 .
The new issue of the Dispatcher Magazine has been released. Jim Allen’s article on the Jeep Creep and other prototypes in the late 1950s was very interesting (something I’ve never documented), as were the restoration articles on the Tonka Surreys and the Jeepster Convertible. As always, there’s lots of good stuff in this issue!
I have that very DJ3A Jeep. I had to do a body off restoration as the paint had deteriorated . So it
now looks and drives just as it did in the photo. The only mechanical work was the brakes.
The seats have been redone and I need to do the surrey top yet It now has little over 13000 miles
I even have that Minn license plate. I also had to replace the Tires & the exhaust system.
When asked how much ($) I would want for this Surrey, my only response is, If I where to
sell the Tonka Surrey my great grand daughter would dig me up & rebury me face down.
If any of you are in Mpls please call and come for a driving experience .

The Surrey article on the Surreys owned by Tonka and now with Mr. Larson is excellent. Hats off to Bill Norris for an excellent issue of the Dispatcher, he has some great articles in there, as always.
I loved the article about he Jeep Creep, what a cool concept. I’ll bet it as noisy as can be to drive. The only comment I have it that so of the captions seem to contradict themselves about the low range lever on the t case but that may have been because the article talked about two different models of it.
