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: G. Binks had a question about this hubcap from a Tux Park IV. So, I will post the photo here:
===================
This could be worth a look. Note the full set of hubcaps.

“Rare Tuxedo Park Mark IV Jeep cj5A Original 60/40 seats All five hubcaps! Chrome accessories Engine will run Body is very rough Good title”
A few things that I question about this listing, first off I didn’t know the Tux model was still available in the 1969 model year. To back that up, windshield wipers are top mounted and the snorkel cut out plate for the hood, both were gone well before 1969. I’m not an expert on this stuff, but maybe some of you that are, can qualify this information.
I agree Mike for the reasons you stated. There’s enough Tux parts there (badge, chrome peaking out on parts, faux tuck seat backs and pads) that it may indeed be a Tux. But like a lot of older Jeeps today, it’s probably mistitled. It’s probably a 64 – 66. You can see the amber front TX lenses.
…..Front turn signal lenses. More photos always help, but it’s a FB ad. Also a photo of the Ser # plate.
I am going to look at this on Saturday. Really doesn’t matter to me if it is a Tux, it has all the parts I have missing from my Jeep. I really wanted to find the 60-40 seats and those look to be in very good condition. Those fender flares have to go.
Does anyone recognize those hubcaps? Not the typical Kaiser orange/gold color scheme. I have have never been able to find factory photos with that orange background style cap. I know they are original as I have seen them come up in the past and I believe I have a couple in my collection.
Matt, we have them in our inventory here at BJP. They are original. Best we’ve been able to determine over the years, they are for commercial applications.
Not busting chops or stepping on any toes..or Quayle tay toes either. Just wondering why my example is conflicting with expert opinion. I’m also sure that there’s more than one way to paint a cap!
