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 .
Merlin from Hanson Mechanical wrote a fun article about the original Banana Republic Stores and their jeeps. I had forgotten all about them.

Below are a couple of images from old ads I found here.
I remember bidding on a wagon that had been prepped for store display. for fire regs, many parts like engine had been removed. All oil and flammables were out. axles assembled dry. Was a pretty body and basically that was it.
I was recently reminded about the Banana Republic jeeps. I bought the one that was at the store located in the Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, Il. Like Steve said, it was pretty well stripped down, but only paid a few hundred for it and had a fun experience retrieving it from inside the mall.
Rescuing a jeep from the suburban jungles of retail-ia. I like it!
Mark, I’d love to talk to you more about this! I’m a Banana Republic collector and would be interested in finding a verified BR Jeep. secretfanbase.com/banana
