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: Still Available

This cowboy preferred to rope a cow with a saddle mounted on a CJ-3B. I don’t know a whole lot about rodeo history, but according to the Lodi newspaper competitive jeep-roping occurred at least between 1952-1998. Below is an April 21, 1982, photo published in the Lodi News Sentinenl, the best photo evidence I could find of jeep-roping.
I found this second photo from 1998, but it does’t provide much detail. In this case the jeep looks like it might be a MB/GPW.
UPDATE: **SOLD*** Was on eBay
Powerful photo.

I wonder where on Lake Washington they tested this jeep? I can’t imagine why the army would choose Lake Washington (borders the eastern side of Seattle), as there were no military facilities nearby of which I’m aware.

UPDATE II: **STATUS UNKNOWN** Was $29,000
UPDATE: This is funny. Apparently, the seller has received a number of negative comments (no surprise). So, the seller has threatened to have “your CL privileges revoked if you do these despicable acts“.
You think $29,000 is a lot? It used to be $76,000!!! I tried to find other works by this ‘famous’ designer, but couldn’t find her anywhere but on this ad.
“For sale – a 2003 “Janx” art piece vehicle as titled by the artist and designer. It is constructed of diamond back stainless steel and built for durability, not speed. This is an uncompleted project and being sold “as is”. Its chassis is fabricated solid stainless steel and the small flat bed is meant for groceries and light hauling. This is a project piece for the person that has the time, capital and a lot of passion to invest Looking for a “show stopper”? — This one of a kind project piece would be the Holy Grail for any collection.
The steering box is from a 1978 Postal Jeep. The emergency brake is from a 1978 Postal Jeep and is not assembled and has been chromed. It has Stuart gauges. The steering wheel is Stainless steel. The engine is a straight six with an automatic transmission. The gas tank is Stainless steel. The front and back bumpers are double piping stainless. There are two built in drain holes in Y shapes on the floor and the bed for water drainage. There is a split windshield for 2 separate pieces of glass. There are old tires and rims from a 1979 Postal Jeep. The entire body of this project is of quarter inch thick diamond back stainless steel. It is a very heavy and solid piece of art.
Serious buyers only. Price is firm. By appointment only. Contact via the contact info provided in the listing.
Note – to obnoxious jealous morons – do not flag this listing or send derogatory comments – I will have your CL privileges revoked if you do these despicable acts!”
