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 .
Not sure how much value is here.

Bill shared an updated article on the Jeepney situation in the Philippines. The push to eliminate Jeepney’s isn’t popular, which isn’t surprising given the cultural significance of them.

I thought the front bumper on this was particularly unusual. Purpose built?

“1973 Jeep CJ5 * Does not run * Jeep was parked in my garage and has not been started for 25 years. Ran great when parked, but over time fuel lines cracked. Was going to restore it, but never got around to it. Fuel tank was pulled years ago. Engine wiring needs to be repaired/replaced I purchased the Jeep in 1987. Engine, transmission and transfer box were all professionally rebuilt in the mid 90s. Never put more than 20k miles on them, after rebuild. Details engine: 258 straight 6 4 speed manual transmission GMC steering column w/ power steering 4″ suspension lift 2″ body lift 6 point roll cage 12lb warn winch Volvo leather seats GMC seat belts”
Runs, but needs some work.

“For sale. All original 1969 Jeep CJ5 Renegade. Dauntless 225 odd fire engine. Runs and drives but definitely needs some love. Panel rust in usual places but underneath and hat channels are in good condition. I have a 1978 Buick 231 even fire engine with 79000 miles on it for an extra $500.00. Might trade for an older pickup truck in running condition. Clear Colorado title in hand. Show me the cash or your trade and let’s deal.”

We had a busy weekend. Next update will be LATE Tuesday morning, as I ran out of time Monday night to do updates.
UPDATE: Given we’ll be busy all weekend, here’s a look back at the tenth(!) anniversary of our trip through California…
It was ten years ago this week that we were visiting Dan Horenburger, viewing his collections, then tramping up to the former M*A*S*H location near Malibu, before meeting a lost Romanian woman. Wow, does time fly!

TJ spotted this survivor that runs and drives. Has an F-head. It’s listed as a 1948, but the body may be CJ-3A, though it looks like the radiator attaches from underneath, so it might be a very early 3A.

This “J” shaped jeep sign, likely from the mid 1940s, will be going up for auction at some point. The seller will be sending me more pics once the auction house takes them. Here’s an initial one.
