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 .
No Updates until Thursday morning. Given the SOPA blackout, I’m gonna take advantage of this and finish up a couple other projects.
Happy Blackout All!
FYI: As of the latest news I have, Craigslist will go black on Wednesday. I will update Tuesday night, but the links will probably not work all of Wednesday. However, I won’t blacken eWillys.
Major sites such as WordPress, Craigslist, Wikipedia, and others will be joining the blackout. I spent some time doing some research tonight, hoping to separate fact from hyperbole regarding the SOPA and PIPA legislation. Based on what I’ve read about the way the legislation has been worded, both of these bills could be seriously misused. Just look at this link to see how Senator Lamar Smith’s own website, the bill’s author, could be taken down permanently, because he has violated copyright law.
This comes complete with plaques.
“This 1950 Willys CJ3A Jeep was restored with its original motor, transmission and transfer case. The truck is completely rust free and runs like a champ. The tub and interior received a special “black out” treatment, and a custom sound system was fitted into a custom overhead console…just plug in your iPod and hit the trail! The truck has its original seats (re-covered) and original, fully rebuilt flathead motor! 4×4 system works like new. Newer BF Goodrich all terrain tires and wheels. The body is incredibly straight, floor boards, body and frame are all rust free. Original Colorado Two owner truck! All gauges, lights and buttons work like they should…check out the video below! Dont miss out, own this rare jeep at a fraction of the build cost!”

It seems one of the updates I did to the site yesterday broke it this evening, leaving me unable to do any updates (lol). After a little time, I was able to fix the problem so everything works again (I hope). So, I will delay updates until Thursday morning.
Updates Friday mid morning . . . then no updates likely until the 25th.
My kids fly into town tomorrow evening, so updates will become irregular for the next week. I will update tomorrow afternoon though.
Tonight’s updates went a bit off course as I found myself exploring the archives of Mechanix. Check it out as they have some really cool stuff!
No pictures provided. This could be anything.

The Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival organization received official recognition from the Guiness Folks that they set the Parade record. Read more here.

You can contact him at cottervic@frontiernet.net if you have one for sale.
We arrived safely in Pasco, Wa, this evening, 6500 miles after beginning our journey. Thanks to everyone who shared time with us and we look forward to see those we didn’t get a chance to see on this trip (hopefully this summer). We will spend a few days here (At Ann’s Mom’s house) before heading up to Seattle to drop off the paintings. No updates tonight, but more tomorrow.
No updates tonight, but will update from the road tomorrow. Hopefully the roads will improve.
UPDATE: Tolls and Tolls and Tolls … A third of I-90 is now Tolls. I can definitely NOT recommend driving I-90. I didn’t realize just how many Toll booths have been added in illinois alone.
With the car packed with paintings and we left this afternoon bound for Seattle. Our plan is to take I-90 and our hope is to make it over the Rockies at the Montana/Idaho border on Sunday when the weather is supposed to be good. Otherwise, the forecast is snow before Sunday and after Monday. It is midnight now. We should be in Madison, Wi by about 9am Eastern time and will be somewhere in Rapid City, South Dakota, by the time we sleep tomorrow night.
If you tried to access eWillys this evening (Tuesday), you likely reached an error screen. I believe my google xml sitemap plugin was causing problems, so I am hoping removing it has fixed the problem. I also removed the mapping program in hopes that will also reduce the heavy resource demands of the site. Hopefully these changes will fix the problem.
Thanks, Dave
