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 .
This is listed over at Hemmings.
“A full and complete body off frame was performed several years ago with a “cost no object” budget and completed the same way a high caliber major concours classic would have been done.”

sure is nice
Bob,
It really is nice but could a guy really feel comfortable in his sexuality driving it? π
This Surrey has been listed previously as a 1963, and posted here on Dave’s site(Go to the last DJ3A page on eWillys). On Jan. 20, 2010, it was listed as a 63 out of Houston, TX with no price given. On May 15, 2010, it was listed as a 63 out of Hyman Ltd, St. Louis for $41,500. Now it is listed as a 1964, out of Greenwich, CT and you have to call for a price. I have it listed with serial number 56337 19055 (shows as a 1960 in my database) and as of May 25, 2011 it was again listed by Carriage House as a 1964 for $48,500. This little Surrey is making the rounds of dealers and apparently not getting many bites at those prices.
Previous comments indicated that since it was restored at no limit on cost, it should have been done correctly and I would agree. There are folks out there who do restorations, but don’t have the proper information to do it right. While it is a nice Surrey, at these prices, it should be done right. My 1960 Surrey, 56337 19170, isn’t entirely correct, but I didn’t pay nearly $50K for it either!
Thanks Colin. I had wondered if it hadn’t been around for sale. I will add some links to connect these posts.

ummm, no offense, Mr. Peabody…
LOL!! Kilroy, no offense taken! My Surrey is blue anyway. Not sure if I would have bought a pink one either! The word Gala in Spanish means gay and when these Jeeps were made, the terminology was way different amd the word gay was used in several vintage 1940 Willys Jeepster ads. Doubt that any Jeep ads would use that terminology today! My close Jeep buddies tease me about the little blue Jeep, but me and my Taurus Judge are perfectly comfortable driving it around! HAHAHA!!
