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 .
Omix-Ada’s President, Al Azadi, has a jeep collection that totals at least 20 jeeps, including some prototypes (see six of his jeeps below). At the November 5-7 2013 Sema Show in Las Vegas, he’ll be showing off a portion of their collection.
You can see more about the collection @ http://www.jeepcollection.com or learn more about the event at http://www.off-road.com/blog/2013/10/22/omix-ada-debuts-historic-jeep-collection-at-2013-sema-show/
I’ve wondered if Omix-Ada and MD Juan (far east) are related companies. I have used parts with brand names Acme (body), Crown (distributor and steering kit), Omix-Ada (carburetor – it is actually a Solex) and misc. body and hardware parts with MD Juan labels. It would be nice to have a record of who manufactures and who distributes
I know I’ll raise a lot of eyebrows when I say this; But big money & big corporations such as Omix-Ada seem to have taken over what used to be an affordable hobby. This is another American company that sends it’s manufacturing overseas to save labor costs at the expense of the American worker & consumer. We all have seen the ads for large stocks of genuine Willys Jeep parts for sale on different sites; the truth of the matter is that long time Willys Parts Dealers (made in the U.S.A) can’t compete with a giant like Omix-Ada. Next time you need a part for your Willys, give this subject some thought; the job you save may be your own.
I believe that Omix ADA also now owns Rugged Ridge and Crown, Jeep parts suppliers.
I want to go! >:D
Very nice collection!
While Rugged Ridge is an Omix Ada brand; it is their “aftermarket/modified” part line as opposed to their stock replacement part line. Crown is an independent American owned company based out of Massachusetts and not affiliated with Omix Ada. Just to set the record straight.
I stand corrected! Thanks!
This is just the conversation I wanted to see – I see parts made, I assume, in small shops in the US sold by John at Midwest Military and Peter Debella – I have purchased from both these guys with that last restore (the M38). As I said it would be nice to have a record of who manufactures and who distributes and yes of course, who are the small manufacturers in the US that make the hard to find parts. I am just starting a CJ2A (1947) and although it is intended as a daily driver and I am going to keep the body as untouched as I can, the running gear I want in as original new condition as I can. A frame off job with a body left with it’s character – I even have a well worn Porter and Reed top.
