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 .
How many of us bought that first project flat fender knowing it would be an easy restoration. After all, they are such simple vehicles, right? Well, David Tracy got an introduction into the hazards of purchasing a “fixer-upper”. He documents some of his trials and tribulations on Jalopnick. It’s a reminder that when picking your first jeep, choose wisely!

too soon old….
Don’t want to insult the guy, especially since he admits his error, several times, but damn!! He’s violated every rule for buying an old car there is. Times that by 3 for an old jeep. Starting front to back, bottom to top, it’s completely shot! But, at least he paid too much for it. I wish him luck, he’ll need it.
He may have lost money on the jeep, but hopefully he made some money on the article???
I look forward to reading and seeing his progress and I hope he makes it to moab in this jeep.
This dude is definitely single, and will be for a while……rebuilding the safer case in the sink???
wow, I love how some here have never made a mistake buying a 60 plus year anything. Vechicle restoration projects take a big picture view and some money, if you don’t have either cut bait and move on.
Agreed, Marty, but they also take time, not deadlines
He should have bought a better jeep to begin with I’d say.
Pretty sure my wife says the same things about me. “Old rust bucket fixer upper requiring more time, energy, and money than she has left”. So I feel for the guy.
