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 .

A fond high school memories.
Our buddy worked at the local driving range driving an early Ford N tractor with a cage collecting range balls with a front rotating contraption that had rubber fingers that grabbed the balls and released them into a collection bin as it rolled along and the rubber fingers flicked on the edge of the bin.
Five of us would line up with buckets of balls and have target practice on him in his cage as he drove back and forth. The old Ford had been hit so many times the sections of screen were concave. We would have one eye on the cranky old guy who ran the range and one eye on our buddy. As soon as the old guy turned away to do something or collect money, we would all fire at once. Great fun.
He later drove an early jeep chassis Zamboni at the local rink. The golf ball target practice followed him there as we would hide in the team bench area after open skate and pelt him with snow balls as he drove around, no cage.
Hillman’s Golf Land ,n Elmwood Park NJ has a Orange CJ3B with a cage; Back when I was a kid in the 60’s, I thought that was the coolest job in the world to drive that Jeep picking up golf balls.
