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 .
Ian these photos in an online issue of the Town and Country Magazine:
I particular love this first photo from 1955 of the CJ-3A towing the boarders.
Sun bathers on a beach near Southampton, greet a trio of surfers pulled along the beach by an all-terrain vehicle in 1955.
Ralph Lauren and Ricky Lauren driving on the beach in East Hampton with their children in November 1977.
I have the articles from the Jeep Unity magazines that have a centerfold announcing that Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard were officially named the “Jeep Islands” by Willys.
It also shows Jeeps towing Sand surfer.
Two comments- 1) The ranger that patrols the beaches does NOT find it amusing when you do this. He will pull your sand permit. 2) If the Jeep driver tries to upshift, the Drag of the sand stops the Jeep abruptly. You stumble ahead of the board. When the Jeep starts up again in the next higher gear, the sand board hits yo in the back of the legs. It DOES LEAVE A MARK.
Important notes!
Hmm, sand surfing…Love it. Keith, is that really what you are building that 3b project for?
Did you notice there is still a top bow sticking out of that jeep?
I think that you will find the top bow is what the tow ropes are looped over,If you hook the ropes on the trailer hitch it is too low and submarines the tip of the board into the sand, How do I know…
