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: **SOLD** Was $1800.
(11/19/2014) Runs and drives.
“This is a rare Dj5 mail jeep with a AMC 232 and 727-TF tranny.
Truck runs real well, everything is original and in good condition with some rust but it has a ton of potential. I am just putting it out there to see what I can get.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4000.
(12/18/2013) This appears solid.
“Rare 1971 CJ-6. 80% restored. New tie rods, complete new brake system, new gas tank, fuel lines and fuel pump, new wiring harness (when I got it , it had the original wiring with a lot of extras wiring that had been added over the years from previous owners) , 2 extras front fenders, a new transfer case rebuild kit for it’s original Dana 18 transfer case, more. I bought it because it is so rare and we wanted an older Jeep from the early 70’s. I drove it for about 6 months before starting to fix it up. I came across a CJ5 that I loved and decided to let this one go. It still needs a little work before it could be painted and it would be a heck of a jeep that many people don’t have. The V6 motor and transmission all are in good shape. All it needs is the final finishes on the wiring harness, the transfer case rebuilt, tires and paint.”

The weekend is over and Kasia has returned to her ‘peeps’ at Fema Corps. On Saturday we braved the wind and rains for a trip to Roosevelt Field Mall. We did some shopping, then saw a movie (Interstellar – both liked it), and finally returned to Sea Cliff where we spent several hours talking. It was great!
Sunday morning we drove to the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City, NY. On the plus side there were some great interactive exhibits, some interesting photos and stories. and, of course, lots of airplanes. I also even found an MB that was being used as a gift-shop display prop, though the jeep looked mostly complete.
On the down side we were approached by an exuberant docent ready to share all the information he could about Charles Lindberg, the museum and more (and more and more and … well, you get the picture). And, he did have some interesting tidbits and stories, but after a while he was just too much. Several times we thanked him for his help, turned and walked away, but then the guy would follow us and start up again! Finally, we just started walking away and he gave up.
Here’s some pics from the museum starting with two more of the jeep:
