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 .
UPDATE: Filing this under “it’s a small world”, Merlin posted a different Power Wagon Bus from Barnfinds yesterday.
Roger spotted this unusual power wagon on Facebook. I’m a fan.

“1953 power wagon school bus. Pm if interested for more info.”
This is neat….just don’t have the money ,other projects first
This seems cheap considering how much Power Wagons go for and how rare the busses are.
A running 1948 dodge bus sold for 4k this week in Washington state. Owner had it listed at 8k with no buyers the week before. Rare doesn’t always equal expensive. With nine kids it would have been in my driveway if I didn’t have a 1943 wc63 in the rebuild que already…
Dan, I’m surprised if true. 4K doesn’t buy much nowadays. I posted this ad on a a 1ton FB page and tons of interests
Prices are inflated now a days, you take what you can get. I’ve been saying this forever, don’t count on getting rich, not going to happen. OK, moving on to more important subject matter concerning this Power Wagon bus. As rare as it is, I’m curious to know the bus body manufacturer, many school bus body Companies even today, If I were to take a educated guess, I’d say a WARD bus body. Anybody into this subject?
Damn, that is cool
Oconomowoc – home of the “5 O’s” baseball team, the theater that first played “The Wizard of Oz,” and apparently, this. GLTTS.
I am just guessing because of how old the body is but I don’t think it is a Ward body.the rubrails don’t terminate or seem right to be a Ward.maybe a Carpenter or Superior?
Looking at it again…could be a Blue Bird school bus….still would be a great project to do
Looking at old Blue Bird pics they were using the same type rub rail back then that they still use today,two major v-ribs.so I don’t think this is a Blue Bird body.The rub rails seem familiar but I am not positive of the make.Ward uses a smoother rub rail with less pronounced ribs.
As far as School Bus manufacturers today in the U.S.A. for large type buses there is Blue Bird,Thomas and IC.(Navistar) that is basically an updated Ward body on an Navistar chassis.Not sure if the Lion bus is still around.
this is what we used to get to my 1 room school house in the santa cruz mts
This is really cool! Keep me posted!
