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 .

The jeep is 7 years old in the photo, but you would think that Bert would have given that Willys hood alittle more respect. I imagine that would have caused a pretty good oil-can dent.
Great story!

Any other HAMs have jeeps?
Ya the good old days, the rcvr is a HQ 129x and the transmitter is a Johnson Ranger 2 75 watts cw, 50 watts Am. I dont think the fuel comp is something to brag about, 2 gal hr ,only if gas is 29 cents a gal I guess. You could get 50 kw from that now. 73s WA7OPY
