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 .
Mike shared this photo from Facebook. Poor jeeps! It might have originated here (a DJ-5 site)
Here’s another dead postal jeep graveyard:
Hard to believe they would scrap all those postal jeeps, maybe the right hand drive was a safety concern, seems like a waste.
several folks who drove a DJ-5 on a daily basis (postal workers) and one collecter I know claim it was hard to admire these unless you really enjoyed solving automotive mysteries constantly. Don’t know personally, but this photo is disturbing on several levels…
I can think of several uses for these, even if sold to a low bidder. It seems a terrible waste of taxpayer money. I know our little rural post office spent a fortune on two right hand drive brand new model jeeps that these would have worked fine for. Oh well, “free” money.
I really need parts for my 1979 amc jeep rhd with a 121 cubic inch 4 cylinder any help is appreciated

I drive dj5c daily. Over my other car cause smiles people get seeing it
Anyone know where I can get a DJ body I need one for mine
Ronald,
I’m not sure where you are located, but if you are in the Southeast, you can try http://www.postaljeep.net. They are located in Alabama. Most likely, you’ll need to buy a used DJ-5.
Best of luck,

When I was a manager for the City of Chillicothe OH, we had one for parking enforcement and one for parts. When it was time to replace it, the Postal system was no longer releasing them to anyone -individual or government agency alike. Said they were too dangerous (which they were). Whole parking lot full of them in the depot in Columbus OH to be crushed. I think it was probably people at Jeep wanting it done, just like they influenced the crushing of the M151s.
