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 .
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4300.

Some of you might have noticed last night that the website was down. My Bad! You see, I read an article yesterday about a rash of attacks on WordPress installations (eWillys runs on WordPress). To prevent attacks it was recommended that sites get updated to the latest version. Knowing I needed to update the site anyway, I gathered all my technical ability and pushed the magic “update” button.
It took all of ten seconds before the system went down.
So, let’s sum this up. I was updating the site to reduce the chances it would be taken down during an attack only to take down the site myself. Yep, that pretty much tells it all.
The nut of it is that the McDonash Brothers saved my beans once again and got it running late on Friday night. So, just a few updates today. On Sunday I will share with you the Free Lock Hub brochure, all eight pages of it!
UPDATE: Blake points out this is a Mule and not a horse.
Steve forwarded this interesting photo of a mule pulling a Bantam BRC-60 across a river.

This rare Warn Hub Selective Drive owner’s manual was saved for decades by Merton Day. His Grandson, Frank Day, generously sold this along with some last-of-a-kind Free Lock hub information to me.
