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 .
The back of the body has been cut out.

Hard to see the condition from just his one pic. The seller lists it as a 1951 in the title, but also notes that it only had 2WD.
“We’ve owned this Willys since 1989, and it has been part of our family for a very long time. It has never been a 4×4, and is powered by a low mileage 85 mustang 4 cylinder engine, automatic transmission, and rear end. The computer, electric fan, and electric fuel pump are installed and working properly. The Willys is fun to drive around town, especially with its train horn and siren, animal, mic horn we have installed in it. The body of the Jeep is nicely painted red in color with custom pinstriping. The interior is just as nice and is gray cloth including the custom rear seat. The doors have been fabricated and are removable. We have a custom bikini top to fit the Willys, but no official top. We have used it in parades or driven it around just for fun. At this time we are not really interested in trades. Please call or text for more pictures or further inquiries @ (812) five 2 five – 9369.”

<– Day 47 – Wed. June 19th: House on the Rock & Steve | Trip Overview –>
Thursday and Friday were the last two days of the trip and consisted mostly of driving home to Pasco.
On Thursday June 20th we drove from Kearney to Salt Lake City. On Friday June 21st we drove from Salt Lake City to Pasco.
On Thursday morning we woke in Kearney and got driving early. Our plan was to stop and meet Karson and his team an hour west of Kearney. Karson and his FEMACorp team was heading east from Oklahoma at the same time we were heading west on I-80. So, we found a good place to stop and take a picture together. I know it looks like he is taller than me, but I’m pretty sure that’s an optical illusion.
After our quick meet, we drove to Salt Lake City, arriving in the evening and in time to have some fish tacos at the Lone Star Taqueria with my other kids, Kasia and Colter. We spent Thursday night in Salt Lake City.
On Friday morning we left for Pasco, arriving in the evening. The trip was amazing, a one-in-a-lifetime adventure where numerous things–Jeeps, wurlitzer, Karson, and friends–all lined up to make it unforgettable. Thanks to everyone who hosted us, met us, dined us, and gave us suggestions.
After 10,000+ miles over 49 days it’s time to rest.
The End

MIke’s from Oxford England. He rebuilt this formerly rotted 1979 CJ-5 Levi’s Edition. He wrote,
This is my own Jeep that I did a complete restoration on 14 yrs ago. It only ever comes out on sunny days which over here is rare. It is an original 304 Renegade with the blue Levi’s seat trim. It was totally rotten when I bought it so I totally stripped it all down and rebuilt it nut and bolt. The body was beyond repair but a sourced a company in Ohio called at the time Willys Overland. They had bought up all of the end of line stock from jeep including original body panels with the Jeep pressed in. I flew over to check it all out and they supplied me with a totally original but brand new jeep tub, I believe now that the CJ 5 panels are all gone. Everything is stock except for the wheels and the blue paint,it was originally blue but not metallic.the Olympic thing I havnt done is put reproduction renegade decals back on.
The result is beautiful. Thanks for sharing Mike!

Bob’s jeep had about this much jeep left. Some used leftover parts and created something neat. I think that has some potential.
“1946 Jeep, Willy’s Overland, CJ2A. Serial No. 68995. Starts and runs good. Need Bonded Title. The brakes need wheel cylinders replaced. Original L-head Engine. Had a rod bearing replaced-runs smooth. New 6-volt battery. Good fuel tank. Transmission and transfer case shifts smoothly. 4 tires – just okay. The bench seat, is the back seat out of a suburban. Great for Ranch or just fun running around. This Jeep is BEAUTIFUL, but only in the eyes of the beholder!”

Need that excuse to visit the Virgin Islands? Here it is. A CJ-3B marooned on a remote island just waiting for you to save it! If you do go, rent a boat and head to the British Virgin Islands and visit Virgin Gorda to swim and climb amongst the boulders. When I visited in 1987 only 2 other people were there; we ran the boat onto the soft sand beach and started swimming. I think I need to return with Ann . . .

Steve and I in front of this CJ-2A on a beautiful midwest afternoon.
On Wednesday we drove from Dodgeville, Wisconsin, to Kearney, Nebraska.
On Wednesday June 19th we drove from Dodgeville, Wisconsin, to Kearney, Nebraska.
In 1993, I visited the House on the Rock near Dodgeville, Wisconsin, for the first time. Mom, my sister, and my then ex-wife and I. We’d heard it was a popular place to visit, but no one could really describe why. After our visit, I could see why people couldn’t explain it. All I knew is that some day I hoped to experience it again.
On Wednesday (20 years after the first visit) I returned. I told Ann that you have to see the place to believe it. It starts with an unusual house built on a rock (actually part of it is cantilevered over the rock) and then becomes a series of collections and spaces ands spectacles. I told here there would be music, a giant whale, and the world’s largest carousel.
I felt beating the large crowds would make the experience even more enjoyable, so we arrived at their 9am opening time. The cost is $28 per person and the fact that I didn’t balk at that must have surprised Ann. Arriving early worked well. We spent most of our time wandering through the maze of paved streets and hallways by ourselves, armed with tokens to play all the different music machines (I’d advise getting at least $5 dollars worth of tokens.)
I won’t go into the history of how Alex Jordan created this amazing spectacle, but it seems a meeting with Frank Lloyd Wright and some subsequent spite played a huge role on why Jordan landed atop a rock. Just enjoy the pictures.
Here’s the entrance.
The house is made up of two parts. A long walkway connects the two. All of it has a Japanese theme. There’s lots of limestone, small spaces and neat angles. The infinity room is the most spectacular spot.
