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 .

Someone a few weeks ago at some zoo somewhere painted a donkey to look like a zebra. Was on the news. Not that I am implying this is the same thing that happened here.

EXCUSE ME ?? — A 1973 JEEP CJ-6 DID NOT COME WITH A 225 V-6 ??? — MY 67 CJ-6 HAS ONE — IN 1973 YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD A 232 OR 258 SIX — OR A 304 V-8 — YOUR 6 SEEMS TO BE A ” HERMAPHRODITE ” ???
Good point Vlad.
In the early 1970’s, there was a TV show titled DAKTARI, ran for about 4 or 5 seasons. For most of those episodes Toyota Landcruisers were used painted with Zebra stripes. My memory is foggy on this, but at least one episode was filmed using a Willys Crackerbox wagon from the 1950’s early 60’s painted with Zebra stripes. It might have been the pilot episode.
aha! I’d never heard of that show. I see a Daktari post in our future. Looks like they used several different jeeps on the show. Thanks Mike!
I recall watching Daktari also, as a youngster. Can’t say I took notice of vehicle brands at that age, but the stripes told me Daktari right away! Also recall Clarence, the cross-eyed lion.
DAKTARI AND NOT HATARI ?? — HATARI WAS A MOVIE WITH JOHN WAYNE SET IN AFRICA — WITH RED BUTTONS AND SOME LOVELY EURO-ACTRESS — ALSO STARRED A FC-170 STAKE BODY AND SEVERAL CJ-6’S — I HATE IT , THEY RUINED THOSE 6’S — ALSO AN OLD CHEVY EARLY 50’S TRUCK — THE DUKE — TOUGH ENOUGH !!
Yep, a “DAKTARI” post will arrive on Sunday morning.
COOL!!!
What’s The top speed on it
As part of the TV series, famed Hollywood customizer George Barris, did a J-10 with stripes, a canopy and external gun racks.
I think it was for car shows and promotional work and not used in the series itself.I
There are photos of it in Barris books.
When restoring my white CJ-5 about 25 years ago, it was stripped of its canvas top and other bits prior to paint. I had to drive it like that for a week.
I did entertain the idea of putting some temporary stripes on it…
