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 .
Sri spotted this great example of a Safari-Kai (a specially converted DJ-5).
https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/7552120833.html
“Immaculate 1973 DJ5 Safari Kar conversion. Fully refurbished in 1991 and remained in storage for over 20 years. Always garaged, inline 6, under 3,000 miles on the odometer.
Can not drive around the block without being stoped by onlookers. Devastated to be selling, but moving back to the east coast and she’s a california girl.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(08/04/2021) This is a unique jeep that you may have see pics of around the internet/facebook. Both back axles are powered. A few readers have seen this in person and know the builder. One especially unique thing about it is that the jeep was originally a rare DJ-6.

Gayland shared this slightly modified DJ-5.
“You are looking at a 1971 Jeep DJ5. Just about the cutest thing you’ve ever seen!
We’ve had our fun with it and now it’s someone else’s turn.
This Jeep is a low production number: #311, and it is equipped with an even more rare automatic. It’s just been tuned with a new carburetor kit and fresh fuel. It runs down the road wonderfully!
It has 4 brand new wide white tires, fresh seat covers and it’s ready for towing a small boat, going to the beach, the Dairy Queen or anything you find fun in a little open Jeep like this!
This is the famous Jeep platform, 2-wheel drive, automatic, fixed hardtop roof and windshield Jeep with no side doors.
The engine is a 232 or 258 (not sure which) and runs fantastic. The transmission is tight and strong. This Jeep has very nice body work and paint (not showroom). It has some custom blue ghost flames on the hood and rear.
What you see in the photo is what you get. The Jeep has a relatively low reserve and unlimited potential for fun!”
The price includes delivery to California (which is where I found the ad).

“I bought this Jeep in Vegas about 6 months ago and drove it all the way back up to Park City going 65mph up I-15 (She has the original AMC 232 cu in, straight 6 engine) I used this Jeep a few days a week on a postal route in Midway until I recently quit. No longer need it.
Runs great, drives great. Daily driver. No issues. Everything works except the windshield wipers and horn. Also does not have a heater and is not 4 wheel drive. (I have a bin with old parts and an old heater that I will include with the sale)

It’s setup for ice cream.
“The most awesome icecream truck available. Runs Great! Bright orange paint inside and out. Completely updated and re-wired lighting all LED. Flashing amber rooftop light. Exterior horn to blast your classic ice-cream tunes or get new age and rock some modern icecream tunes to get the kids hyped with the amplified sub in the back. That right! This truck has beats!!! I have beefed up the starting battery with a group31 semi truck battery. There is a secondary battery bank of 3 deep cycle marine batteries that power the DC converter which in turn powers the freezer. Back windows are tinted to reduce heat so the electronics can run efficiently. I replaced all the window seals with new rubber. I even installed a battery isolator so you can run the secondary battery bank until it’s completely dead and always have a fully charged ignition battery to start up with. I also have 256 color range LED undercarriage lighting that I will install this week. There simply is not any other icecream truck that come close to being as awesome as this one.”
Glenn spotted this one. Someone spent a lot of time assembling this custom DJ-5.

Seeing that engine was a surprise.
