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 .

<– Day 18 – Apr. 6th: Wurlitzer to Wigwam | OVERVIEW | Day 20 – Apr. 8th: California Adventure w/ Mrs. Soggy Bottom –>
On the pier @ Huntington Beach, California
On Monday we and my ‘squaw’ awoke in our ‘teepee’ to a beautiful morning. The $70 we paid for a night at the Wigwam was a splurge for us, but we slept well and enjoyed the uniqueness of the experience.
The grounds are nicely kept and the area was clean.
Today we drove from San Bernardino to Fullerton, then on to Huntington Beach, before returning to Huntington.
Our first task of the day was to visit San Bernardino’s contribution to the world: The very first McDonalds in 1948. It turns out the ‘birth’ story of McDonald’s are actually two stories, the official McDonald corp stance and the actual truth. Thankfully, the founder of the Pollo Loco restaurants in Southern California has saved this original history (despite McDonald corp efforts to tell a different story). Even better, he’s made the museum free. Now, I wouldn’t drive hours out of my way to visit this, but if you are near San Bernardino, it is worth a short detour in my opinion.
Though not the original build, that is part of the original sign and this is the original location of the very first McDonalds.
Part of the mural on the side of the building commemorates the launch of the first McDonalds.
According to the McDonald corp, the first McDonald’s was started by Ray Kroc in Des Plaines, IL. It turns out that, yes, the Des Plaines location was the first McDonald’s Kroc started. But he launched that one as a franchisee of the McDonald brothers. It wasn’t until 1955 that Kroc bought out the McDonald Brothers and gained control of the business. Here’s some fast-food info:
History of the Hambuger
Paul just purchased this early Maverick. Note the emblems on the side. He believes it was blue and white. Though the red paint isn’t the best, he says everything else looks real good.
UPDATE: Was $2250. **SOLD**
This is different.
“I made this one of a kind TV stand / bookshelf / hall table, using the remains of a REAL WWII Jeep! These are not replica parts. I’m down in Houston, but I will be traveling to the Ft.

“I just have too many projects right now and need to sell this FC-170. It is in rough, but salvageable condition to the right person. I purchased it to do as my next restore, but lots of other stuff got bumped up in front of it . . . Lots of good parts here . . . . original super hurricane 6 engine and running gear. I was told by the PO that is was a running and driving truck when parked 5 years ago. has a plow frame but the blade is gone. No cracks in the front windshield. Good PA title in my name . . . not interested in low ballers or scams. I would just assume part it out then take much less then I’m asking for it . . .”
