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 .

A YJ powertrain comes with this project. Unclear how much value is here. Note the object between the axles and frame. The glove box may indicate it is a replacement body, though it’s in rough shape.

“This is a near all original cj2a with m38. It is hard to tell which model because of the mix up of parts during their creation. The engine is an iron duke from a postal Jeep. Extra transfer case and parts included. I HAVE PAPERS and a powertrain from a 1990 yj 2.5l I wanted to swap but never got around to it for an addition 1000$ I have a ton more photos available. The windshield frame is rotted aswell as the floor pans. Though fixed poorly they are solid. The top has since been removed. Car is not running”

“Unknown year or whether it’s a CJ2a or CJ3a. I bought it for parts for another restoration. Don’t need it anymore. Definitely could be rebodied and be a good Jeep. Comes mostly complete.”
Maybe some parts value?

=================================
Posted December 24, 2020: This article provides more information about this stunt Jeepster and plane. It was published in the March 20, 1949, issue of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram:
===================
Originally Published Dec 8, 2012:
The Sunkist Lady was an Aeronca 15AC Sedan airplane flown by Dick Riedel and Bill Barris used to set a world-record for endurance flight. They spent a total of 1008 hours and 2 minutes aboard the airplane, ending their flight in April of 1949. Unfortunately for them, their record was broken six months later.
What makes this relevant for jeep fans was that to keep the plan in the air, the crew used Jeepsters borrowed from local dealers to race down the airport runway so the crew could hand fuel and food to the two pilots.
Thanks to Colin for forwarding the story!
Here is a link to a story and a video about the flight (124 MB): http://www.cityoffullerton.com/depts/airport/the_sunkist_lady.asp
