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 .
Not sure what it has the bobcat hood if it still has the original engine.

“This has been on this farm for 40 years and been my toy and tractor. I can no longer give it the attention that it needs. I started to fix it up a year ago but lost my health. I put new Edelbrock carburetor, high output coil and new electronic distributor. It’s got a late model 3 speed transmission full sincro. The tub is in rough shape but running gear is good. It’s got a 44 rear end and upgraded front to handle the 327 cubic in stock engine. I have a fair amount of parts that go with it. A bunch of chevy parts, terra tires and extra wheels plus a lot of other things I will throw in. 2 Holley carborators extra Transmission and other auto parts.
I would like to make this a package deal because because I’m downsizing for a move.
I’m asking $3000 boo for a lot of stuff. I’ll try to show pictures but not sure I will get it all.”

I’m still up from last night … in fact I’m sitting in the garage typing this up, so I’ll make this short. I pulled Patterson’s engine to swap with Rusty’s engine. I’ve got most of the parts swapped. Patterson’s tranny, though dirty on the outside, looks great on the inside, so I’ll just use that. I have some details I’ll discuss later, such as the carb linkage.

UPDATE II: To me, this looks like a Scheneker All Purpose Loader. Here is the brochure for comparison:
This was posted as part of an article on loaders from FarmCollector.com.
UPDATE: Two years ago Charles shared a photo showing an unusual loader attachment on a jeep (see the photo below the updated post). At the time, a reader named Chris commented that he had the same attachment. Over the subsequent couple of years Chris has worked to turn his attachment into a working unit. He has completed the rebuild in time to showcase it at this weekend’s Willys Picnic. Here’a s sneak peak. We are still looking for information on this loader!
(ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED DEC 19, 2014) The other day Charles shared some pics of unusual jeeps. One photo (seen below) showed a CJ-2A with a rare style of loader / bucket attachment. Chris spotted that photo and mentioned he owned one just like it, but didn’t know who made it or any history behind it. Does anyone recognize this?
Keith is looking for someone with a vintage jeep near Grafton, Wisconsin, that would like to participate in a June 24th fund raising event. Contact him asap at kmleistekow@charter.net or 920.226.8775 for more information.
Craig shared this rebuilt CJ-2A. One pic shows the rear seat in backwards, but maybe it’s just sitting in it and not installed? The top setup is unusual.
“Jeep has had a complete off frame restoration and is in excellent condition.Complete engine overhaul by NAPA. Transfer case and transmission rebuilt.New tub,wiring,tires ect. Jeep has a clear title.To many new parts to list.Call for more info.Runs great!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Maury spotted this silver anniversary CJ-5.
“1979 Jeep CJ-5 SA: This extremely rare Jeep is an incredible investment opportunity. In the second half of 1979 Jeep built less than 1000 of the CJ 5 Silver Anniversary editions. There are an estimated 40 still in existence today with any chance of being restored. Less than 10 with the original motor and transmission and no rust! That makes this one of only 10 left in the world. I encourage you to do some research yourself into the collectibility of this rare vehicle. They will only go up in value!
It is “Car Show Clean” and ready to drive across country. Just add gas and enjoy. With 54,000 original miles this Jeep does well on the road, never sees mud and drives like a dream. It was garage kept for most of its life and only driven around town. The original front seats were replaced with aftermarket along with the steering wheel and shift knob. The original Silver Anniversary emblem is still on the glove compartment door and the VIN can be verified.”
