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 .

Great group shot of the crew along the Cabot Trail. Despite the rain, everyone’s having fun.
The crew spent Monday night on the ferry from Newfoundland. On Tuesday they drove around Cabot Trail, then, due to Joe’s breakdown, had to rework their schedule, so instead of making Price Edward Island, they camped at Hyclass Ocean Campground (same place they camped Tuesday night).
Tuesday’s drive along Cabot Trail.
Our intrepid crew left their overnight ferry yesterday, but it didn’t take long for Joe to run into trouble. The brand new alternator he’d purchased a few days earlier had a bearing go bad, making it sound like it might literally explode. Fortunately, CarQuest was willing to deliver one to him. So, they waited for a while.
These three didn’t let Joe’s alternator get them down. They went for a walk (food gathering perhaps? Trouble making?).
As they walked, Jim wrote a new song, which I’ve titled, “Alternator Blues” … you’ll notice he still has a lot of work left on it…
This photo was shared by Charles, showing former citizens, now arguably refugees, leaving the area during World War II.
Mike spotted this Tender-like custom wagon for sale. I don’t have any contact info for it, but there is a reversed phone number on the For Sale sign in pic #3.

Nice photo of the Ingrums on the left and the Ogles to the right.
On Monday, the crew began their morning in Gros Morne National Park. This was their last day in Newfoundland. Monday’s goal was to reach the shorter ferry (takes 6-8 hours), spend the night on it, then head, my guess is, toward Prince Edward Island early on Tuesday morning.
Here’s another look at Jim and Kevin’s camp spot:
Kevin really enjoyed the first. He was the fire tender. If he only had a Wilson soccer ball (it turns out you can buy these??), all would be complete.
Once they got goin, the crew found some beautiful scenery:
Jerry Huber is pictured on the right. He’s one of the key reasons the Toledo Jeep Fest is what it is. View more videos and pics on his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/jerry.huber.790
Based on the reports I’ve heard, the expanded Toledo JeepFest was a big hit this year. Kudos to Jerry Huber and the rest of the crew for making it a great time! Here’s a report on the event in the Toledo Blade: https://www.toledoblade.com/news/2019/08/10/Jeep-enthusiasts/stories/20190810112
Brooks Sutherland took this photo and posted it to twitter of Jason Perry and Chris Rutherford. You might remember when we visited with Chris in 2018.
Here are a few shots of Chris’ vendor spot:

This looks pretty stock, even down to the pin striped rims.

“350 sbc Turbo 350 Stage 3 shift kit 3600 tci stall Frank land quick change reared, Hoosier Tire’s and much more. Fun little rat rod, Not a daily driver, Great show stopper.”
This has a half cab Cab Enclosure. My assumption is that this was custom cut down into a half cab. I suspect the Cab’s part number can definitively document whether the cab is originally a full cab or not.

Chris has an M-38A1 radiator and a Spicer rear PTO (still needs to be removed, so not pics just yet) for sale. Make offer. Contact Christ at cyoke455 @ gmail.com (remove spaces from around the @).
“I have an original radiator for sale out of my M38A1. There is a pinhole leak in the radiator core. Mine is too far from original condition for OEM parts to matter, so I put an aftermarket in it. Thought someone might need it for a restore.
I also have a complete and fully functional Spicer PTO I am removing from it that I want to sell. No pics yet as I have to remove it still.”
