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 .
Roy shared a link on Facebook’s Jeep Thing. It was part of a Desert Queen Ranch at Joshua Tree National Park. If you want to see the jeep in person make sure to get reservations, because you have to be part of a guided tour.
Here’s a neat link that shows a panorama which includes the jeep. Below is a partial photo from that panorama. It’s a perspective you don’t normally see.
So they just let that jeep sit out there and rot?
It looks that way. Though, it should last a long time in that desert air.
Dave, a website question – I know my computer is old and slow(hoping Santa brings me a new one), what is the easiest way to go back from the comment page to the original listing? The back arrow always brings me back to the top of the page. I thought it used to go back to the listing.
Mark,
Based on my tests, the modern versions of Safari, Chrome, and Firefox should bring you back to the post you’ve left when you hit the back button. However, sometimes the page must completely load first before the browser takes you down the home page to the listing you were viewing.
To further test, I need to know which browser and which version of that browser you are using.
An alternative strategy is to “right click” (assuming you are using a PC) on the comment link and choosing “new window”. This will open up the comment in a new browser window.

The panoramic view makes one think it is a scene from a Roy Rogers TV show! Long Live Roy, Dale and Nellybelle in our memories!
Dave, thanks for the reply, I am using Internet Explorer(IE-7). This is a older version, but I probably won’t change until I replace this computer.
Mark,
I understand the reluctance to upgrade. On the positive side, when you do upgrade, I can guarantee the site will look better. I have not styled it for IE lower than IE9.

I always open a new page, makes it easier to keep my place.
That scene is awesome. It almost looks like a model scene, but it’s really an outdoor diorama. I’ve visited that desert, but I’ve never been to the Desert Queen Ranch. It would take many years to rust away that heavy sheet metal in the California sun. It’s probably a nice home to some chuckwalla. But, I must agree that the old Jeep would rather be painted and driven daily, than sitting in an outdoor museum.

Dave, thanks for the “right click tip”, that should get me by for now.
