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 .
I bought this wooden puzzle jeep the other day. It came assembled, so of course, I took it apart. It turns out that putting it together wasn’t as easy as I thought, but I did get it together. You can see me celebrating my ‘victory’ (well, that’s the fuzzy version of me — I am celebrating no-shave November)
I ran across a Salt Lake Tribune article that includes this militarized CJ-2A decoration. The article shares a little bit about Salt Lake Valley’s Grogan’s War Surplus Store. If you are in Salt Lake and have some time to kill, drop by and get your picture taken with the jeep and send it in to me! I’m sure I’ll get down there at some point and do that too :-). The store is located at 5000 S. Redwood Road and marked with a Sergeant Missile at one corner.

UPDATE: As of 2022, the building appears to still be there, but it is closed.
Jim wrote to tell me a little about Bruce Wadlin and his Florida 4 Wheel Drive & Truck shop. The sixty-nine year old Bruce runs the shop himself, selling “OBSOLETE JEEP & Willys Parts”. Jim grew up with him and said that Bruce has been buying and selling new (old) parts since the 1970s. Bruce is pretty old school, still using only a phone or fax machine. He doesn’t even advertise. So, Jim thought he would place ads on Craigslist and contact eWillys.
The shop is located at 6110 17th Street E, Bradenton, FL. The phone number is (941) 756-7844. Bruce generally keeps hours from keeping hours from 11am until 5PM daily (though the ad says noon to 6pm).
How about that great first picture? Love it!
