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 is really cool … expensive, but cool. Thanks to Steve for sharing it with us.

“This listing is for one Vintage EL JEBEL JEEP PATROL Denver Colorado License Plate Topper Attachment. It is in very good condition with original paint.”
It seems to say “El Jebel”, not “el rebel”. Does Jebel mean “rebel” in Spanish or what ever language the “el” goes with?
From the El Jebel Shrine website: “At this first Denver Shrine meeting Mortimer J. Lawrence suggested the name, EL JEBEL, which is Arabic for “The Mountain”.” The El Jebel Jeep Patrol was probably their “parade unit” of Jeeps. They still have a motor corp that serves that purpose: https://www.eljebelshrine.org/motor-patrol/. At least that’s what my expert opinion after 5 minutes of Googling has lead me to believe…
5 minutes well spent. Thanks!
Looks like this may have belonged to a member of the El Jebel Shriners.. The symbol can be found on their hats. Out of curiosity I did a quick search, I’m not familiar with the club or anything… Just thought I would share what I found:

Thanks for the research guys!

Good point Steve. Apparently, the spell check on my computer thought it knew more than I, so it must have autocorrected without me noticing. Fixed now.
