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 .
I stumbled upon a website that celebrates old articles from the town of Walla Walla, Washington, just forty-five minutes east of me. At some point the local newspaper ran a series of articles titled “Heap of the Week”. However, one week they changed the title to “Jeep of the Week”.
Love the horns sticking out of the top of the hood, and the snorkel air cleaner. I wonder what the “shed” on the top of the hood that extends from front to back is for? And, Air Conditioning for a jeep without doors, in this era? They must mean that it has lots of air flowing through the cabin!
By the looks of the rest of the cars, it looks like it’s the late 1950’s.
She must have been very popular with the guys at that school.
I’m curious about this “plastic gun holder;” is it a gun rack that happens to be plastic, or a holder for a plastic gun?
I finally found a date on one of the photos, it was March 25, 1960. Yes, I agree, we would all have black eyes over any girl in a Jeep. (lol) I wonder if her dad installed an F-head 4 cyl. That would explain the hood extension. I suspect that’s her dad’s hunting rig. I like the fact that the editor of the paper was respectful enough to temporarily change this week’s article to “Jeep of the Week”. It’s also great history to see what others have done to their 9 year old cars. The ’51 Ford was upgraded to a ’53 Olds OHV V-8 with ’56 heads. The ’57 Chevy was lowered 3″ in the front. That was only a 3 year old car…
