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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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.

“There’s a Ford Pinto motor in it that ran when it was parked last in Arizona but needs work to get running again. Lived in Southern Arizona for most of it’s life so hasn’t see much moisture. Needs fuel line, battery, ignition, carburetor”
After a week+ with our well out of commission we once again have well water. The culprit was our well pump, which had lost its bearing. Reassembly of the well pump took an extra day as our pump is a 3HP 40GPM pump, which took extra time to find. I also learned our that our water table appears to start about 6′ below the surface and our well is sits at about 110′.
I am not all that familiar with well-setups, but the “George’s”, our well guys were both named George, were impressed, with one telling me that he now wants to set up his well water system with a cistern and secondary pump so he can keep the water pressure high (when the irrigation is running our water pressure is still strong for showers, etc).
Meanwhile, I got more wiring done on the FC. I also built the bracket to hold the e-brake line and the fuel pump, which is now mounted closer to the tank.
Finally, I snagged a few new brochures off eBay, so I will share those in the next week or so. I should have some updates Friday morning.
Pulling the well pipe. The well head sits right next to the shop:
