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 .
These photos popped up one Facebook recently, likely pulled from the Just A Car Guy blog. I believe these were originally from some kind of video of Disney driving, because I was able to find an animated gif on Pinterest of the same event. I could not locate the original video, but I’m sure it is digitized and out there on the net somewhere …
I can’t see the rear of the jeep, but it looks like those side rails are installed into the top pockets. I never thought of that easy method, requiring no modification to the jeep. I can’t figure out the function of those metal straps on the left rear wheel arch?
I was thinking that the rear of the two ‘straps’ was actually the wood piece against which the spare tire would rest. I’m not sure about the forward item though.
The Ford truck in the second pick is a ’53 or later model.Mark, could the straps in the wheel arch be some way of holding the rear seat frames down???puzzling.
Just my thoughts, but the rearward “strap may have been to keep the lefty spare tire solid agains the body, but the Jeep looks like it was modified with padded seats on the rear wheel wells. The Ford truck maybe a 54-55 model and the water and piers along the water’s edge are similar to the “Mississippi” River section of Disneyland when it was under construction in 1954-55. Old Walt was probably out supervising the construction efforts of his playground. Bet he would roll over in his grave to see what has happened to his empire in recent years! My family and I went to Disneyland on its first anniversary in 1956. It was a fun place and several attractions were still being built.
