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 .
This has potential.

(05/12/2012) This thing looks pretty solid, but that ‘paint job’ gives is a junk yard feel.

One update tonight. Here is a picture forwarded by a friend of Jon’s. Cool pic! Times Square certainly has changed over the decades.
Last week on our way to my parents, Ann told me she wanted to stop at the Teapot Gas Station (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teapot_Dome_Service_Station), not to be confused with the Teapot Dome Scandal. The Teapot Dome Service Station is one of those odd side-of-the-highway tourist stops along Interstate 82 in Zillah, Washington.
When you are bulleting past at 70 mph, it is one of those places where it is easy to say “we’ll stop next time”. Well, I’ve been saying that for more than six years. Ann has been saying it longer. So, when she says “it’s time to stop”, I took her request seriously. Well, almost seriously. I did give her one of those looks of, “do you really mean it or are you joking”. She returned the look of, “I am not joking”. It turns out she really meant it. I really didn’t mind as it was a beautiful day and we were in no particular hurry.
We pulled off the freeway, crossed the freeway over a bridge, and pulled up to the place where the teapot stop was supposed to be. Only, it was missing. Everything was there — pumps (can’t see them in the pic), a sign, a foundation — except for the teapot itself.
Confused, we both immediately reached for our phones and revved up our Googlers. Truth was, we were also racing to see who could learn the fate of the teapot first. We do that a lot. We are both competitive. In fact, it pains me to say it, but, yes, she won. The Android beat the iPhone. Maybe it was operator error?
Humbled by my defeat, we focused on the fate of the teapot building. We learned that just over a month ago, in March of 2012, the Teapot was moved to a new location closer to downtown Zillah, a town not much bigger than the teapot itself. Somehow, it had been hit by a car. We both suspect that probably alcohol had been involved . . . or just plain stupidity.
After taking shots of the non-existant teapot, we raced into town to get pictures of us and this unusual landmark.
It just goes to show that sometimes stopping ‘next time’ will be too late. Carpe Diem when you have the chance.
