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 on eBay.
“This Jeep “Surrey” has ridiculously low mileage – only 1780 miles in over 50 years! Pale pink exterior, original striped soft top (with fringe!) All original body – and rust free!”
Unless they painted some of them different, it does not seem to be pink enough and the wheel wells are the wrong color. That being said, it sure looks nice enough.
If you look at the eBay photos of the engine compartment, you can see the original Tropical Rose paint showing through. So I think it has at least one repaint in the past 50 years. The interior and side curtains look to be in fair condition other than a tear on one of the curtains. Haven’t seen a Surrey before with a partial Jeepster beauty bar on the front bumper, so maybe that was added on by a previous owner. All the original title docs are listed on the ebay site for this. Don’t know what the reserve is, but probably 15+. By serial number, it was probably a late August/Sept.1959 built Surrey, as they were introduced on Sept. 28, 1959 for the 1960 model year.
Frankly, to beleive the mileage is a stretch, why would a less than 2000 mile car need a complete repaint down to repainting the entire engine compartment? There are quite a few details on this jeep that are unusual, including upholstery details, air filter, engine compartment wiring, etc.
I’d love a closer look and a chance to go over it with a fine tooth comb, as if it is genuine, then we have a lot to learn from it.
Always a possibility that the odometer quit at that mileage, difficult to think the Surrey has 1,780 miles on it. Probably more like 17,800. The upholstery on the seats isn’t quite right and the air cleaner isn’t. Where the original pink is showing through in the engine compartment indicates to me that either the engine was out of it or the body was off the chassis. Wonder what shade of pink is underneath the body?
