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 .

I wonder what seller means by line lock parking brakes.
Brett, they are hydraulic line brakes. That is it on the firewall in the 2nd picture.
Aren’t line locks for doing burn outs? Or do they have a more legit purpose?
Here’s an example of a line lock product:

Joe: I’ve seen people use them as a temporary parking brake alternative while jeeping. I *think* the Colombians use them to lock one rear wheel, which is how they make their jeeps do the cirlces. I thought someone told me that, but I could be wrong.
I had one on a tow truck when I worked for a towing company. Made the truck not move when doing recoveries. E-brake would not hold as well.
Oh yeah, you all reminded me know back in the day when I had a 80’s Subaru. It had a similar feature. When you pressed the clutch pedal and the brake at the same time, then released the brake while still holding the clutch, the brakes would be held. Made it great for hill starts.
Sold the first day. I missed it by a few hours.
Thanks for the update Mel. Sorry you didn’t get it.
We used to use line locks for racing
Thanks for the explanations. I was just starting to understand until Bob said “racing”. I get the whoa applications… but how do line locks help you go?
As for the jeep itself: I wonder if an eWillys reader got it?
