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 .
This just struck me as having potential to be a neat ride. It appears straight and rust free.

“1948 Ford Tow Truck with a 390 V8, Truck starts and runs. Will make a great Street/Rat Rod with some work or great advertising vehicle Real eye catcher. Asking $8,000. Clean California Title.”
FYI for those unfamiliar with Ford: The 390 engine was introduced in 1961. Looking at the valve covers on the engine I would guess it dates from about 1966 or later.
Thanks for the tip, RACE. The 390 raised a flag in my mind when I read it. I would guess that truck came with a big six in the day. Hopefully no one wrecks this survivor, it is cool just as is.
Or it could have had the flathead v-8 originally.
looking closer I wander if the boom is still functional.I don’t see a pto lever sticking up where it should be.
why, oh why do I love old iron, trucks and jeeps like this…and yes I hide plans and schemes from my wife! This is too cool!
This was used in the movie Delirious from 1991 correct?.
Josh,
Great catch! I found it over at the internet movie car database: https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1045516-Ford-F-Series-1948.html
