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 .

My dad carried a larger version of the Thermos pictured here, for most of his working career after WWII. It was tan with two slightly different shades of red/orange and a red cup on top. He even made a wire handle for it using plumbers tape to hold it to the outside of the Thermos. It was kinda like Duck Dynasty’s Uncle Si and his ice tea glass. He never went anywhere without it and it was always filled with coffee! Fond memories of my dad sitting on the tailgate of our 51 Jeep pickup, drinking coffee from the thermos on our firewood cutting days, while I began loading the wood in the back of the truck. Where we went in the Huachuca Mountains of southeastern Arizona where we lived, we needed the 4WD and low range. That old F-head 4 banger never let us down.
