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 .
Here’s another OOH! postcard. It’s not hard to see how OOH! Point got its name! (this photos below are from a previous version of the card).
“San Juan Scenic Jeep Tour, from OOHI Point looking down towards Hensen Creek Canyon midway between Ouray, and Lake Ciy, Colo.
mailed in 1969 from Ouray to Galesburg, Illinois.
Published by Noble Post Cards, Colorado Springs.
Condition very good.”

Isn’t this a chop top wagon? Give us more!
I don’t know a lot about San Juan Jeep Tours in Ouray, CO, but I have seen a bunch of photos of many of their specialized Jeeps. They had several Jeep station wagons minus the tops and of course the FC 170s that Craig and Jesse both have, which are also “chop” top models. Maybe Craig will weigh in as he has a lot of history of this company.
I actually own some of the sheet metal that survived, of what is left of that wagon, or from one of the other few wagons of those that were made for the scenic Jeep Tours.
My friend Ken and I started to restore one that was to be an original Scenic wagon, but he wanted it made as he wanted it for himself instead.
Unfortunatly Ken died a few years ago, it was in the process of being made into a Cadillac front wheel drive, 4 door rat rod, so the 118″ WB body was extended 36″ to 154″ + an additional 10″ was added to the length of the hood and front fenders. The body was also split lengthwise then we made it 8″ wider.
It has no priority for completion, I own it now, I intend to change the chassis from Northstar FWD to a 97 GM 4×4 truck, using instead a 468″/TH-400/NP-208, with front torsion bar suspension.
Indeed the “OOH!” Point was a famous spot for tour guides to take pictures at. Like many others I’ve wanted to go there to get a picture of my tour jeep there but alas it will never happen. It’s still there near Engineer Pass but as the story is told by “Wild Bill” & Gail Kuboski from San Juan Scenic Jeep Tours back in the day one of the tour jeep operators kind of let a truck get away from the famous spot and the access was closed from future parking adventures. Fortunately no one was hurt but but a tour jeep made the ultimate sacrifice and the desision was made to close the point down to vehicle traffic.
