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 .
UPDATE: Tim commented that this is not Les.
The owner of this slide from Flickr thinks it might be a photograph of a young Les Schwab. I have his biography, which was very interesting, but it is packed in a box somewhere. This was one of a pile of slides the seller bought on eBay.

It isn’t Willys, but it is a cool fire jeep.
“This is a very unique, 100% functional Fire Truck.The title reads as a 1994 Jeep Grass Fire Truck.The logos from the former Fire Dept is off, therefore you can put your own on it.All the lights & sirens work great!This is a rust free jeep.The entire under body and all the inside floors is rubber coated to prevent rust.This truck runs & drives like new,very nice jeep wrangler!This Fire Truck was well maintained and always kept indoors.
Due to it coming from the fire Dept. the title reads as rebuilt salvage because they rebuilt the Jeep into a Fire Truck.This truck was built heaver to hold the 100 + gallon water tank.This truck is a great investment to your Fire Dept or to you as a collector item,whatever you would like to use it as!

Sounds like a lot of parts.
“I have 2 Jeep projects for sale. One is a 1958 170 6cyl 4 wheel drive. The pickup is in a garage and is apart. The picture posted is how I found it but does not represent what is is now.
The other is a 1960 150 4cyl, found in Oregon and is pretty much as I found it, I have tried to start the engine but it will not turn over. It is also in the same garage which makes hard to take pictures. When you come to see one you get to see them both. I also have a rebuildable Warn overdrive that I will include if you buy them both. Both have clean paperwork. The cab forward or “forward control” was made from 1957 thru 1963.”
UPDATE: Was $5000. **SOLD**
