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 1973 slide that was on eBay is taken from behind two DJ-3A Galas/Surreys. In the background are some DJ-5 Galas/Surreys.
Interesting picture. Will this continue the discussion on Surrey with a tailgate or no tailgate availability.
There is one slide of the resort that appears to have a Parkway Conversion in it.
As for the discussion of the Surrey tailgate question, the Jeeps used at Las Brisas were standard DJ3As modified by a Jeep dealer in Acapulco according to what I have learned. The paint schemes were different, although pink and white, but many of them were modified as driving liquor bars and some had extended wheelbases to haul more hotel guests. The idea of the Galas and Surreys came from a Willys executive who went to Mexico to see how one dealer could sell so many Dj3A Jeeps. He got the brilliant idea to offer the paint and upholstery options to the bosses and they bought it. Mrs. Henry Kaiser loved pink and she cast the deciding vote, I am sure. Nearly all the Jeep vehicles used at the Kaiser properties in Hawaii were painted pink.
I clearly see CJ5 surrey’s here too.
I suspect they are DJ5 and possibly DJ6 models. 2wd after 1965 when DJ5 Jeep’s we’re being built.
