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 .
That’s a bad day.

“1961 Press Photo Jeep’s hood sticks out of water on Ronson Street, Houston. This is an original press photo. Jeep’s hood sticks out of water on Ronson Street, Houston, Texas. Floods. Photo measures 10 x 8.25inches. Photo is dated 06-19-1961.”
Colin shared the news that the Coker Group (makers of vintage tires) has been sold to the Wade Kawasaki/Capital Investment group partnership. Coker has been run by Wade Kawasaki for last five years. Under him, the company has seen five years of consecutive growth, so I’d expect to see the company continue in its current form.
Hopefully the original photo is clearer than this posted image.

“Original mailer non color folder , 8.5 x 3.5 folded , 8.5 x 11 unfolded . Shows Jeep from Russ Cooley Service Station , Hillcrest , Binghamton , New York.”
Robin just purchased this unusual seat. The seller told him it was removed from a jeep. Anyone recognize it?
This is a neat photo. The phone number of VE5-9728 *might* be a Michigan number (I got a few hits from Michigan with “VE5” as the prefix when I searched for the number on Google). The date “1946” is printed on the back fo the photo.

UPDATE: I’ve sold out of posters.
Yesterday, the Jeepers posters arrived. They turned out better than the original image.
I would have had most of the posters in the mail yesterday, but instead I spent the day cleaning up the garage. The garage has been a mess ever since Ann’s mother decided to hold her annual Halloween bash, one that includes animatronics, pumpkins, bats, furniture, specially made walls, etc, etc.
Ann and I BOTH urged her not to hold it this year, as we had more pressing health issues, but Ann’s mother (how has her own set of health issues) refused to listen to us and held it anyway. Once Halloween was over (we were in Seattle that night), Instead of cleaning up after Halloween, her mother got sick with a severe bowel blockage. She struggled for several days, throwing up all over. Eventually, we forced her to go to the hospital (she nearly died, because she refused to go to the hospital … Ann had to lie to her, telling the doctor ordered her to go to the hospital to get her cooperation).
On exactly that same day, my dad had a ‘mild’ heart attack, forcing him to the hospital. On top of those two issues, Ann is trying to do as little as possible as we wait for an upcoming surgery near the end of November.
So, this first part of the month has been crazy. Ann’s mother was released on Tuesday night, but needs our help more than ever. Dad was also released from the hospital, but his blood pressure continues to be low; He has also let it be known that he refuses to go through any more surgeries. I can’t really blame him at this point.
Usually these models have pics on the box, but this one doesn’t.
