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 .
Claus is curious about the size of a Kong body-extension data tag size. Anyone have one they can measure? Alternatively, anyone know the size of a Koenig hardtop data tag?
Using photoshop, I was able to figure out that the body-extension data tag size is about a 2-1 ration, meaning if the height is 2″, then the width is about 4″. My guess is that the tag may be 1.5″ x 3″.
Here is a body-extension data tag example:
I have both of these tags in the yard Claus, I’ll take some pics and measurements tomorrow for you and post em
Ted
Thanks Ted!
Thanks Dave for posting.
Hi Ted,
greatly appreciated.
Hey Claus , I was able to get some pics and measurements for you. My Koenig body extender tag is exactly 2 3/8” long and 1 1/4” tall with the rivet holes for tag being 2 3/16” across center to center and 1” up and down center to center. The tag is slightly different than the one you posted and if you need me to I can send a few pics to Dave to post or I think I have your email and I can send em to you.
My plow jeep top ended up being a Kelley Western top. It had so much paint on there I couldn’t tell what it said until I looked closely. I just thought it was a Koenig by looking quickly.
By looking at your pics I’d say the Koenig top and extender tags are most likely the same size
I’ll send you some pics
Ted
Ted, thank you so much for the detailed info.
I think you have my email address or I drop you a mail.
regards
Claus
