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 .
Brian shared this odd headline and article. You can never be sure whether the author is responsible for the headline, and it may just be pure clickbait, but the title reads, “2024 Jeep Wrangler Risks It All with Change to Iconic Grille, But It Works”
Seems like hyperbole to me, especially given the number of times the “iconic” grille has already been changed.
Here’s the link to the article: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a43509572/2024-jeep-wrangler-revealed/
Looks like the old Scout or Bronco grill influence to me. Today’s philosophy of “More is Better” on it and in it, taking it further away from the Willys iconic history of “simplicity” and/or ‘resemblance’… IMO. (like with bitcoin efforts, to “make a buck”).
Looks like a 1961 Ford Falcon.
There was a recent small “Jeep”, no doubt from the Fiat side of the family, with a similar grille.
But seriously, lately people have been spending good money to ugly up their $60,000 four door Wranglers with weird aftermarket grilles, I saw one yesterday. Some look like the “Angry Bird” cartoon face.
Why buy an icon just to remove its trademark?
Sort of like buying a Mercedes and taking off the grille.
John: I don’t understand it either.
Steve: I hand’t considered that, but there is a hint of Bronco there.
JohnB, I agree. That “small” vehicle is the Jeep Renegade which is made in Italy.
