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 .
Big Willy made a good impact at Burning Man this year. Barry shard this photo by Susan Clemens of Big Willy at Burning Man dressed in some neon.
Motor Trend published this photo, which also has other photos of mutant vehicles.

HAHAHA — THATS GREAT !!! — LIVIN THE DREAM !!! — OUT ON THE PLAYA !!!
I wonder how they transport some of those huge and seemingly frail monsters to the desert without tearing them up, and on what size rigs?
Steve, as I understand it, many or built once they arrive. The planning for these things takes all year.
Back in mid-2005, a company I co-founded outside of Santa Cruz had plans to create software that would help facilitate the building of long distance art projects like Burning Man. At the time, Friendster had been used as a way to help links folks who were working on those projects, but Friendster was 1) dying and 2) didn’t have the project planning aspects necessary to help execute projects. So, a few of us within the company saw a niche-window in which to launch something unique, had begun building the software, and had plans to rent a motorhome and go to Burning Man.
Those plans went to shit when the other company co-founder (who was also the CEO) hijacked those plans for his grand plan, a 3D virtual learning space that was big on visuals, but short on utility. Because of his takeover of the software, and other issues in which he broke employment laws, I left the company in late 2006. The company died a couple years later, because the CEO stood in the way of building anything useful. But, I always regretted that we didn’t get to Burning Man ….
Hey, thanks for posting I appreciate it!
Ian,
Congrats on a successful project and Festival visit!
