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 .
Jason emailed me the other day asking about some wiring specs for a Jeepster. Thanks to Colin’s wiring diagram, his father got a Jeepster running that hadn’t idled in thirty years.
Jason and his family own a variety of jeeps. Each year as a family they take a drive through Parke County, Indiana (Covered Bridge Capital) on Memorial Day Weekend. Sounds like fun! Here are a few pics:
If you wonder how a Owner’s manual for Jeepster look like;

Nice, both the family line up and the link, thanks guys.
The one for the VJ2 1948 Jeepster is specific to only the Jeepster and doesn’t include the information for the other vehicles like the 473VJ or station wagons. That manual is for the 1950-51 models. I had one of those and gave it to a buddy who has a 1951 station wagon.
Thank for the information Colin. I buy owner’s manual for my own collection. If you have any in good condition at good price let me know.
Hi, I’m up in Lafayette. I like turning wrenches on all sorts of machines. Anyway. I have a $2000 budget, I need a truck-ish vehicle. Looking for a Commando Pickup, CJ6, CJ8 (yeh right at that price). I still remember seeing a TV advertisement for the Scrambler back in 1980 and thinking “that is for me”.
I get down to Turkey run at least once a year. Cheers.
Forward control or the right scruffy Jeep also of interest… that red on with the flakey paint is choice!
