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 .
I am sorry to report that, until further notice, ewillys is on hiatus. I will provide an update in the next few days when I learn more about my health situation.
Thanks for your support, interactions, corrections, and, in many cases, friendship. It has been a most interesting journey.

Dear Dave,
Unfortunate to say the least, but for you a little rest from ewillys will most likely do you good. I do hope all works out well. You, by the way, most likely need time off anyway what with your move and all else you are facing. I just want you to know how much you have helped me regarding anything Willys over the years with your website and know too I visit it every day. Know too, your book “Slag” was and still is at the front of all other books on my shelves. You are a scholar, and a gentleman. Do your best, and take your time in the near future so your healing can take place. I pray for you, your wife, and your entire family. Cheers, Stephen
BIG DAVE — HANG IN THERE — WE ALL HURT — BUT JUST LIKE A WILLYS JEEP — WE ARE TOUGH ENOUGH !! — SINCERELY — VERNON
Once again……..take good care of yourself.
I only recently discovered your site, but I am glad that I did. It led me to rejoining the community after about 20 years. It is a wealth of knowledge and a great resource and I hope that it can continue in the future. That said please do take your time to get well and I wish you the best.
Dave, Take care of yourself and your family, praying for peace and good health, Mike P.
David. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Frank and Willys guys back East.
Thoughts and prayers for your health and well-being. The site has been a beacon in the flat fender community for quite some time; you’ve done an amazing job. Coop
Talk about a “cliffhanger”! I haven’t slept a wink worrying about those stripped allen bolts.
Before I found your site, I hadn’t owned a flatfender for over 30 years, moved on to Broncos, 4X4 trucks, XJ, YJ’s and TJ’s. Now I have 3 drivable flatfenders and 5 basketcase flatfenders all which I found on your site. You actually saved me a bunch of money. I was just about to pull the trigger on a brand new 2018 Rubicon Recon when I bought a 51 Willys instead. The way I figure it, just the sales tax and fees on that new plastic electronically controlled Rubicon is about what I have invested into 3 drivable flatfinders. and they put a much bigger smile on my face! So thanks!
You deserve a rest, looking forward to your return.
Btw, have you heard of Flatfender Aficionados Monthly??? (Flatfender.com) I just found them today.
Okay, off to Craigslist, dang I gotta do this myself? ‘spoiled’ lol!
Dave, sorry to hear of health issues. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers, wishing you the best of outcomes. Know that for me your site is a daily go to every morning for several years now and will be missed. I can’t thank you enough for your efforts to bring awareness of vehicles for sale, literature, and general knowledge to the Willys community… Thank you so much and I look forward to your return at some point!!
Take care! Hoping for the best for you.
Best wishes from Utah. Feel better soon we will all miss ewillys.
Hoping your road back to good health is an easy one!
Dave, my day has started with eWillys for quite some time. For those of us who love Willys vehicles it’s always been a highlight of learning and entertainment. It’s also been about community- good people who care. All of my best to you and Anne with many prayers for health and happiness. Thank you for all you do and I look forward to your return.
Tim
All the best to you, praying for a minor issue!
Dave get healthy soon. You have lots of new projects to play with.
Get well soon, Dave. And please let us know if we can help in anyway.
The best to you. I look at this site almost everyday. Thanks Dave.
I hope you take the time to heal well my friend, my thoughts for healing, and prayers to you and your family. Thank you for what services you have provided this community, it has been a wealth of knowledge worth learning and passing it on . . . .
So sorry to hear this news… Your heath is the most important thing out there. Been with the eWillys family since it’s beginning and kind of feel like family. Take care of yourself my friend. Much positive vibes heading your way from my family to yours. You know my number if you need anything.
Dave,
this site was part of my daily routine. All the best to you. Get well soon.
Thanks from Germany
Christoph
Hi Dave
Hope you would be on line soon, hope to buy a Willys Truck soon in this site, Thanks Dave, hope you could help me find a truck.
Thanks
Dave,
I’m among the group that begins the day with a visit to eWillys. I’m also one of those that has benefited from your generosity. I am going to hit the DONATE button in hopes that I can make this latest journey a little easier. If there is any other form of support I can give, please let me know.
Dave,
Take it easy my friend. Take your time in recovery. Enjoy the world around you. I will still check the site every morning.
Dave, Sorry to hear. Thoughts and prayers are with you.
Best wishes.
John Fitz
I am another one who finds that eWillys is just as important an ingredient in my coffee as the cream and sugar each morning….. Wishing you all the best from northern Ohio, and a return to the front lines as quickly as possible.
Thoughts and prayers from Vermont…I check your site every day, and look forward to your return to good health…Best to you and your family..Craig
Dave, we are all pulling for you. Ewillys has definitely been something special and I start my day off going through your posts. I’m a ways away but let me know if I can do something to help. Thoughts and prayers for you and your family
Dave, I’m echoing the sentiments of fellow faithful followers of eWillys, hoping you get good news and soon. Best wishes to you, Ann, and your family.
Wishing you the best going forward. Not knowing what health problems you are experiencing is unsettlling and worrysome. You are a researcher. Use that ability to find the answers and seek the the best help available. Looking forward to your triumphant return.
I was shocked to read you have health issues. You always think of your family first and tend to their needs above everything else. It shows your character as a human being. Now, you must take time for yourself to heal! My morning routine on the computer is….check email, read ewillys, then g503…as it still will be. Thoughts and prayers are with you from Maine. Be well in body and mind Dave.
Craig
Take care of yourself. We’ll be thinking of you. If there is anything anyone can do for you or your family, please let us know. You’ve done so much for others, we’d be glad to have a chance to return the favors.
Akin to a cold turkey break from addictions. Let It Be Dave. Yer my Willys God, & this is my Bible. Plenty to worship here until it’s resurrection day!
Relax, recover & be well soon.
Dave,
What ever the issue is, hang tough and fight it out The world needs e-Willys! We cannot go on without e-Willys! Humor aside, our prayers are with you.
“May the Lord bless you and keep you, May He cause His face to shine upon you and give you peace.”
Semper fi!
You’re in my thoughts and prayers…
Dave I visit Ewillys every day and appreciate all you do for people like me who enjoy ewillys. You need time off to get things in order. Your health is very important so I hope you get to feeling better soon. Prayers for you and your family.
Thank you for all you have done with this website. It means so much to so many. Praying for you and your family.
Take care of yourself an speedy recovery. We’ll be here when you get back.
Nothing quite like a health scare to hyper focus what’s truly important… this foolishness will keep. All our thoughts are obviously with you on the best possible outcome-

Dave, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Although you and I have never personally met, I feel fortunate to know you through eWillys for the last 4 years. Can’t wait for your recovery, whether or not eWillys is in your future.
Dave-
Just take care of yourself and Ann, that is what’s important. We will keep you both in our thoughts and prayers as you learn more about your health issues. I have been with you since early on, and we have been able to personally meet a couple of times here in Phoenix at Jesse’s along with Craig Brockhaus. We are a long distance away, but contact is easier with phones and computers, if you need anything we can help you with, let us know.
Take care my friend!
Your help and companionship via eWillys have and do bring such joy into my life.
Please know that I am praying for all good health and healing for you – and comfort at this time of uncertainty.
All my best, David
If you need anything, please let us know. Your group is capable of moving mountains.
Dave, I have learned a wealth of information from your website. In my opinion its the best out there. Number one is taking care of yourself and Ann first, take care and God bless you and your family.
Dave,
I hope it is nothing serious! I so looked forward to your Texas trip. Take time, get well. Nothing is more important than your health!
Thank you all for your wonderful support. The love within this community is why he works so hard to keep ewillys going.
Much love
Ann
Oh no !
Please take care of yourself.
What will happen to the rest of us ?
Wishing you the best, every day, as you have us…
Dave,
Please take care of yourself and Ann, get some much needed rest and feel better soon. I love your site! It has taught me so much over the years, and helped me through some tough challenges and decisions, all the way up to two weeks ago when I bought my first 1953 M38A1 Basket Case from a father and son in Sturgis, MI. Last weekend, my kids and I successfully read the severely painted over and sanded VIN plate with a microscope, something they will never forget. To this day, adventures I have in my Jeeps have created far better memories and stories than any other hobby I have experienced, and you Sir have repeatedly inspired me to push on and do more. Thank you.
Dave,
All the best to you and Ann during this time. I have appreciated the privilege of participating here and look forward to your healthy return. You and your family are what’s important right now.
Best wishes and prayers for Dave , Ann and family . Take care of yourselfs and feel better ! Your Ewillys family is here for you and will help any way we can . Wishing peace and less stress .
Hang in there Dave, prayers from NJ.
