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 .

Wow. 8 of 10 photos are thumbnails you can’t see. Gotta love it when people try to use these free forums to advertise (CL & FB). Probably tried to do it all on their phone they just bought.
Barney,
I’ve seen that behavior (small pics) on Craigslist before. I’m wondering if it isn’t an occasional glitch in the compression program, as all photos are likely checked for virus’ and then processed down to a low res image. Maybe a glitch sometimes shrinks them too small?

Dave,
I agree. And you can probably detect my bias against those 2 seller forums. And what you describe may well be a system reaction to the seller’s huge pixel photos being generated by these newer phones. That said, you would think a seller would check their ad and adjust them accordingly. Looks like a nice MB. Would probably been better off for that level of vehicle to be run through an ebay classified with opportunity for multiple high resolution pics and narrative.
Barney, yep, you make a good point on reviewing the ad.
