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: **SOLD** Was 42800.
(05/31/2019) Could be a good price.

R. H. Carroll took the time to create a website displaying a wide array of off-road and dune buggy magazines. His plan included posting images of early Four Wheeler magazine covers, as seen here: http://99wspeedshop.com.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/fourwheeler01.html (This helps me as I’m still looking for 1962 and 1963 Four Wheeler magazines).
This link shows you the Home page for the entire site. As you click through, you’ll begin to see that he spent a good amount of time creating this. Another neat feature are the timelines for the various magazine genres. Just the Go-Karts/Karting section alone is unique and interesting.
Below is one timeline example. Check out the Hot Rod/Street Rod/ Custom Magazine timeline here: http://99wspeedshop.com.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/menu03.html

Most of you probably know Ernie Pyle from his wartime articles and books. However, prior to WWII Ernie Pyle had already made a name for himself as a widely traveled columnist under the title “Hoosier Vagabond”. Between 1935-1942 he and his wife traveled extensively across the US, north into Canada and south into Mexico. In 1947, after his death, some of his articles from this pre-war time were bundled into a book called Home Country.
In his homespun style, Ernie shares his experience climbing to the top of the newly build Golden Gate bridge, learns the challenges of being a white professional wrestler in heavily hispanic Laredo, Texas, and tells the tales of some regionally famous (at that time) folks like Rufus Woods, a local Washington State character who had a significant impact on Eastern Washington, yet was a name I didn’t know.
Near the end of the book he interviews the inventor of the Ross Steering box, David Ross. Matriculating with an engineering degree from Purdue University in 1893, Ross contracted Typhoid shortly after leaving college. A doctor advised him to be outdoors to regain health, so he returned to his family farm and began tinkering. He developed the box and other inventions that made him wealthy. Ernie Pyle’s description and stories of the Ross provide some great insights into who he was.
That looks like an uphill slog!

title status: clean

Selling a 1957 FC170 (clear NJ title) that I’ve fully built out over the last year. I’ve done an insane amount of work to the truck to get it to be an awesome driver. Will go down the highway at 65 with zero problems. Everyone will stop you to chat. Everyone will pull out their phones to take a picture. Everyone will want a ride. Only have 500 miles on it since the full build. If you want to pretty it all up, feel free – I like the rat-jeep look, but it’s different for everyone. Overall, in very good condition with way less rust than most FCs. All glass is good except driver door window has a crack (that window is always down waving back to the excited wrangler drivers anyway). Asking 22K OBO.
Modifications include:
– Small Block Chevy (making 400hp)
– Turbo 400 transmission
– Dana 70 in the rear
– Custom leaf springs from Alcan
– Completely new fuel system (tank, electric pump, carb, lines)
– Complete new cooling system to handle the SBC
– Transmission cooler
– Conversion to dual master brake cylinder
– All new brake lines
– Conversion to front disk brakes
– Conversion to power steering
– All new steering column for more comfortable positioning
– Steering damper in front to smooth out the ride
– 100% new wiring throughout
– LED brake lights
– Full array of Autometer Gauges including GPS speedometer
– All new 2.5” dual exhaust system with crossover and Flowmaster Super 70s.
Please feel free to ask any questions and I’ll be happy to get right back to you! This is an amazing jeep and the buyer will be thrilled with their new toy. If you’re in NJ and buying the jeep, you should be able to keep the amazing custom plates – these are this jeep’s actual license plates.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $900.

Brandon bought this cool, vintage jeep club patch from the late 1960s/early 1970s at an estate sale. I can’t remember ever seeing the club logo before, but the group is documented in the PNW4WDA Region One roster booklet from 1972.
As the image suggests, the Boondockers was a club based out of the south Puget Sound area of Washington, mostly Auburn. As of 1972 the club had 11 members, most of whom had CJ-5s.
UPDATE: Sold Was $9500.
Looks like a classic 80s build.
