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: Status Unknown. Was priced at $1700. It appears complete.
“Call for specs & details.”
Not much info. The body doesn’t look like it’s been modified too much.
“Sand Jeep, 2WD, SB Chevy, 9″ Ford, turbo 350 auto. Make offer.”
This ad expired Jan 09, 2009, but I suspect this jeep (aka Wild Oats) may still be available (I only saw it for the first time today). I haven’t seen many of these in Utah.

I ran across this great looking Sand Drag Jeep called Impulsive Behavior. From what I learned off the website, the owner’s name is Tim and he is a member of the Santa Barbara 4WD Jeep Club.
Impulsive Behavior “has a 468 cubic inch BBC generating just under 800Hp with almost 600 lb-ft of torque. This power plant will move the 2100 pound vehicle to 82 mph in 4.04 seconds on a 300 foot long race track.”
This is a highly modified race (drag/mud) jeep.

If the paddle tires are in good shape, this could be a good deal.

I haven’t seen any race jeeps with later model bodies on them. I wouldn’t’ mind checking out a few more pics of this to see what kind of mods have been done.

UPDATE: The price has dropped to $3000 (but only for this weekend — Nov 1st & 2nd 2008).
This CJ-2A sand jeep sports the very rare parkette fiberglass body. Only a handful of these bodies were made (At one time I was told only about 10 of them). It sounds like it has some good parts, but it will take some work to convert it to 4wd.
“1941 cj2a military jeep that has a a full fiberglass body so you dont have to worry about rust or dents on this 67 year old jeep! it has a stout good running 350 small block with a 700r transmission. the tread on the tires are very good and i would say have conservitivly 85% of their life left. i just put a brand new radiator on it with all new verrry expensive rad. hosing which is actually 150psi petroleum trasfer tubing so it will never break or pop from heat. 971-645-1635”

This jeep sports the same seats (driver’s seat and rear passenger seat) that I have. I could use those seat covers!

This is a 2wd Sand Rail. I suspect the body is fiberglass. Looks well built.

This is ‘jeep’ only in look. The rest of it is all drag.
