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 .
UPDATE: Still Available.

Always cracks me up when somebody BRUSH PAINTS a vehicle, how could it possibly look any better? LATEX PAINT NO DOUBT. DAHH
Looks like it was a fire truck maybe at some point with that bumper on it?
Growing up we painted farm trucks with a broom to get it on quick. Done to stop surface rust and UV damage to original paint. They werent ever going to be in a beauty contest and as soon as the paint dried it was back in use. Chosen color was what ever was left over from last paint job, house or tractor. Tractors got much more care when repainted than the trucks. However, over the years, the thick brush or broom paint job did a good job of preserving the truck, a couple of which were eventually recovered from the graveyard and restored. Wouldnt surprise me if that might have occurred here.
Never heard of the “broom” method. Learn something knew every day!
