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 .

It seems the weather gods are attempting to thwart our nice, though quick, tour of Manhattan. For the moment we are hanging out in the Trump Tower Starbucks. I’m sipping some hot chocolate and Ann is enjoying some kind of coffee mixture. Hopefully, the rain will let up soon for the remainder of our trek to my great aunt’s, where we will spend the night and share pictures.
No updates tonight. Probably none until Thursday evening late. Here we are in Times Square.
We have almost reached the eastern most point of our trip, Madison, Ct. We are almost at the 3700 mile mark. In fact, we are just about out of land, so I guess that means it is time to turn around and head east again. I still have reports to file about my visit with Terry, Andy, and Wallis, so stay tuned for more updates. Here are a few random pictures from the past few days:
On Saturday, in between cruising a few stores at the Eastview Mall in PIttsford, NY, and riding the carousel, I spotted this Christmas ready flattie at their toy store.
I had never ridden a two story carousel, so I Ann and I hopped aboard for a ride and a picture.
Glenn wanted to share this auction with folks. http://kerrypae.com/auctions.html?select=upcoming&id=3
“The Auction is in Etters, PA just off I-83 south of Harrisburg and north of York. There’s more than 50 oldies to pick from including two DJ’s. In the picture it shows a DJ3A on the left and a LHD DJ5 on the right. Looks like the DJ3A shown in pix 35 and 36 has many usable part. Emailing the auction company got nothing back, so I’m assuming they expect it all to go for junk. Hopefully someone local can snatch them. No Titles, just be prepared to move ’em quickly says the instructions.”

We have emerged from the Catskills and are plugged back into the virtual world. I have several updates to provide, but first i have to catch up on emails and review more than 700 photos shot by Ann in the last two days to prepare for another round of family history photos on Tuesday.
I managed to receive my second warning of the trip. It all started with Ann asking me to stop so we could take a picture near the water. It turns out that water isn’t any old water hole; instead, it is New York City’s main source of water. And, it turns out, they are mighty protective of that water. But, there weren’t any fences and there were a lot of little row boats littering the beach. So, we thought, for the picture, we would be ok … below is the picture of us and a picture of me and the police while they wrote us both a warning. To the officer’s credit, they were professional and even apologized for writing the warnings. I guess they quickly concluded we were clueless tourists on a road trip. I even gave one a card in hopes they’d drop by the website.
UPDATE II: We spent last night at Andy’s place in the Catskills. Just as I posted this the power went out, remaining out most of the night. Once again, I was without power and cell service so updates came to a halt. I am thinking some higher power didn’t want me doing updates yesterday ….
UPDATE: Well, this was supposed to post this afternoon, but it turns out that there isn’t much broadband cellular service while driving through the catskills. Then, once I did get service, I got through a variety of updates. Unfortunately, my computer battery ran out just before finishing this last post. Not to be deterred, I tried to use my power converter. I plugged into the cigarette lighter only to discover the converter had blown a fuse. sigh … but, I’m back up now.
Alex reports that Jeepneys are alive and well in Manila. Here are some pictures from this week. Thanks Alex!
UPDATE: Bill took a variety of pictures, including the speedometer picture below.

Bill writes, “Another victim of Katrina….I wonder if I could get a government grant to restore it? Found 10 miles from the epicenter of the storm. Was under 20 feet of salt water, never washed off until years after the storm. A few rare parts and a LOT OF ROT..”
