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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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: Thanks to Colin for the corrections
Great photo of Roy Rogers Pat Brady at the helm of NellyBelle with Dale Evans beside him.

“For sale is this original and vintage slide, Roy Rogers in Nelly Belle Willys Jeep in early 1950’s
The first number in the listing title is the year the slide is from.
Slide Brand: red border Kodachrome from the early 1950’s”
Interesting to note that the windshield frame is a different color, if in fact an original slide as stated, in the TV series I don’t remember this discrepancy. I’m pretty sure it was grey and matched the color of the Jeep. Maybe there’s a trivia wiz out there that knows the answer.
I didn’t notice that. It looks like the arms might have some spray on them, but most of it is red. Curious for sure.
Looks like primer red. Maybe they were in the middle of painting the frame flat black like you see in most color photos of Nellybelle- for whatever reason they would have painted it black. Have seldom seen a gray one on Nellybelle. but remember … there was more than one original Nellybelle.
Look closer guys. The driver is not Roy Rogers, it is Pat Brady, with a female passenger next to him and Dale Evans is on the right side of Nellybelle. Roy might be in the small group towards the rear of the Jeep. I was personally acquainted with both Roy and Dale and the driver isn’t Roy, but his sidekick Pat Brady.
Colin,
Dang my laziness … thanks for the correction.

Colin,
Having known Roy & Dale, do you have any interesting stories waiting to be told. I never knew anybody famous, but I still have stories to tell, and great memories. Fill us in, how did you form a friendship with Roy & Dale?
