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 .
This is a tease …. Barring something unforeseen, our contract indicates this is the future of eWillys …. And, no that’s not a street, it’s the parking. When all is finalized, I will explain more.
Now your just making most of us jealous…….. Looks awesome. Cant wait for the first ever ewillys meet and great 😁 Just need the time and place!!
Congratulations!
OK i also am waiting for the meet and greet
I see enough garage/barn space for at least a dozen Jeeps !!! Congrats !!
Looks awesome Dave :-).
I’m seeing lots of garage space to work on Lost Biscuit, Patterson, and perhaps an FC, Wagon, or Pickup!?
Gonna need a “World Headquarters of eWillys” sign 😉
Agree with Marty and Clem: would be great to have an eWillys Meet and Greet!
Crossing my fingers all goes well…
Thanks guys. We are pretty excited, though there is still some work to be done on the place. We hopefully close in a month and a half. I will give a more detailed description on how quickly the process had to occur (3 days from listing to sold) and how narrowly we got it (our realtor proved her worth as her strategy paid off).
You all are reading our minds on the jeep-meet (trying to figure out a name); though the house is smaller than our current house (a small downside), the outbuildings, guest cottage, and other extra space makes up for that.
The property sits on 5 flat, open acres with views of Horse Heaven Hills. It sits 5 minutes from an interstate (and RV dump station), five minutes from services (grocery store, hardware, restaurants), seven minutes from a cute small town via back roads, and seven minutes from the base of Horse Heaven Hills, which has some great gravel roads to explore (not hard jeeping, but still …). Shop includes a 200 amp service, a drive-on lift, an office + bathroom, and an extra area for our wood shop.
Joe … that’s a great idea for a sign!
How about the “eWillys Roundup”… giving a nod to the FC Roundup held here in Phoenix for so many years?
It’s beautiful, Dave. Sounds like everything you would need or want. Enjoy!
eWillys Listers will have an inside track on the IPO, right?
Good point Bill! I call dibs on sleeping on a cot in that huge garage! Congrats Dave!
I think I figured out something where this “JAS” syndrome is concerned. You Dave, are a super spreader! That looks like a very appropriate “eWillys HQ”
How very exciting for you guys!! Looks and sounds like a super nice property and area! I’m sure your going to love it!!
Congratulations Dave ad Ann on your new investment.
WOW…….can’t wait to hear more of the story. Don’t forget to give us one of those “Zillow” style walk-thru videos of the entire property asap……..OK……at least the storage and work shop !!
You’re going to need more Jeeps, without a doubt. Looks like a wonderful set-up!
That looks awesome! Congratulations on the new digs!
If there’s ever a meet and greet rally, count me in!
I see more Willy-jeeps in your future! Way more! Lol
I’m so happy for you guys! The place looks and sounds awesome. Congratulations!
Looks super cool!!! Congratulations!
Congratulations Dave and Ann, hope it all works out for you. Life is much better with a shop, especially in the winter. I have been without a large shop for awhile, but I do have a small garage with heat.
Very nice, Dave hope you and Ann score on this one. If you do I know you guys will be very busy for a wile.
Congratulations! Looks like a terrific property to build memories.
Dave, is this a future pportunity for Jeepshare or Jeepcondos for you plebes? Wishing you the best on your endeavor, and hopefully a future place to visit for your loyal eWillys scribes!
Nice set up, every man’s dream come true. Reminds me of Ed (Big Daddy) Roth saying, “Forget about the house, how big is the garage?”
Looks like the perfect setup. Indoor parking for the daily drivers. A nice rambler to live in and a large free standing shop so the wife doesn’t get mad about too much noise.
Very nice!Congratulations Dave and Ann!
“And they lived happily ever-after!”
Niiiiiiiice deal! Very happy for you both!
This should put you on our Oregon trail epic Willy’s adventure route, congrats on the estate. Maybe you could set aside a wall in the shop for guys to send Uber cool items for display? Not a museum but a shrine
Gonna need a “Literature Library and Research Center” space somewhere in there, too!
I concur with every comment above, a beautiful set up for the “Happier ever after”, and for more great eWillys posts from your experiences and projects. I am about as far away as one can get here in South Florida, but I would love to try to make it to the first “eWillys event”. Best Wishes for a successful adventure ongoing for you and Ann. Congratulations!!!
Thanks for the kind thoughts everyone. It’s been a long 12 years since I lost most everything in the Great Recession (something I discussed in my first book); it’s been a long time coming …
Steve: Given you will likely travel the farthest, we’ll reserve a bed for you.
Don: No eWillys world headquarters would be the same without the literature & research center. There is a room in the shop that is perfect for it, though it’s not big enough to house my full non-jeep library (don’t have a spot for that yet). My biggest challenge remains reorganizing the jeep literature so I can more easily find it all!
Scott: Never thought about that; I didn’t really imagine folks sending me stuff. At least, I finally have a place for my jeep posters and the Alaska Or Rust banner!
Kurt: Ann is a former weapons expert, a lover of planes, very handy with tools, and is a creative problem solver. I can imagine her in the shop making her own noise (she calls it my shop, but we both know she can’t wait to do stuff in there). Thankfully, the shop doors aren’t wide enough to allow for a plane, or my jeep plans would be in trouble!
John: You mean like a Jeep BnB? lol. I do think there’s a small market for older folks who want to downsize, but don’t have room in their downsized places to have the tools to work on their treasured vehicle(s). I would have considered studying the feasibility of that.
Jim: I can’t say anyone has called me a ‘super spreader’ before, but there are some wives who blame me for their husband’s continued Willys addiction (perhaps the term ‘drug’ dealer is more appropriate, lol).
Hmmmm…… I see a “Road Trip” in my future!
Since as “Willys Jeeps owners”, it is a traditional obligation to “wave” to other Jeepers, maybe “The eWillys Wave” is a theme to consider. Note the definition…
wave NOUN
a large number of people moving or arriving somewhere at the same time
Thanks for the bed offer Dave, but I noticed you didn’t say “where” lol. So much to consider and organize, you really are ambitious. I hope it all works out for you and Ann. Best of Luck!
Wow Dave and Anne- This looks great! how about a clue as to where it is and access to it? Your Governor is doing his best to discourage travellers to Washington by increasing your gas tax by 30 cents per gallon, but the die hard Jeepers will still show up!!!
Colin, when we finally close (Apr 16th) I will publish more info with some better pics and pics of the shop interior and, of course, our jeeps parked out front.
Congrats Dave and Ann! What a wonderful place. I’m jealous.
Congratulations Dave and Ann. I am very excited for you.
Congrats Dave and Ann. That’s outstanding! Here’s to the next phase.
