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 .
UPDATE: Still Available.

Dave, when this was up here before, I remember it being “Sold”. and there were several interesting comments including about the top, the patch like rock guards, and typical poor FB advertising. ???
Barney,
Hmmm … The jeep disappeared off of Facebook, but returned on Craigslist. I didn’t delete any comments. Maybe there’s another post of this out there? Sometimes I dual post jeeps, as sometimes they are listed by the same seller in different cities. This could be the case here. I will have to check on that tomorrow.

Kayline “Luxair” soft top.
Jim: I completely missed the uniqueness of the soft top. Here’s a 1970 Kayline brochure http://www.ewillys.com/wp-content/uploads2/2020/04/kayline-brochure-interior-lores.jpg. I think the side has to roll up for it to be a Luxair, but I can’t tell if the top on this jeep does that or not. The top sure does fit nicely though.
Barney: It does look like this has the aftermarket rock guards along the side, though I can’t remember who made them. The right front bumper seems to have the Runck vertical pipe, but it might have been welded on rather than a replaced bumper. You can see better pics of a Runck rear bumper in this post (about half way down http://www.ewillys.com/2018/05/15/day-16-monday-may-14th-drive-them-jeeps/ ). Rick Riley (of Ohio) was the one that educated me on the Runck products.
This M-38A1 that was for sale includes some pics of the Runck front bumper: http://www.ewillys.com/2019/06/28/1953-m-38a1-dayton-oh-12000/
Barney: It looks like Runck changed hands, but was still in business as of 97. There are newer references to Runck bumpers for crawlers. I wish I could find a 70s brochure for the Runck products.

What’s the deal with this thing? Keeps turning up with the same pictures. F-book. C-list. Sold. Not sold. Something fishy about the whole thing.
Dave,
It’s a odd one for sure.

So, has anyone on here made or tried to make contact with Rasheed? Seems like there’s a lot of Jeep there is the questions are answered right. Interior photo? Column shift? Engine photo? Title? Did I say Title?
Barney, I’ve heard nothing.
