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 .

Does anybody else but me think how odd this is, that the dealers had to BUY these decals for $1.25 each, that they just weren’t given to them? I wonder how many said ‘to hell with this’ and didn’t buy any…
I’m not too surprised that KW would force them to buy the decals (which may or may not have been priced at KW’s cost). It would have been important for KW to maintain a consistent brand and it would make sense that KW would be in charge of producing the decals for dealers, To pay for the decals either KW would have buried the cost of these stickers in some type of advertising fee charged to the dealers or be more transparent and show the costs/per sticker. It seems these chose the latter.
But, your question brings up a question I’d like answered: What were the costs of running a dealership under W/O and K/W? Was it just an initial payment, or was there a payment and royalties and advertising costs? The answer is part of a project I’m working on . . .
