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 .

The prices look current for today’s nice restaurants.
If the prices are in US dollars then holy crap! I’ve had frog legs I gigged myself during this time as a very young boy during our camp outs. I knew then they were very tasty but never knew a meal of the them cost this much!!! The water I see was a problem even back then, LOL. What, did celebs or rich folk only go to this place?
This was a high end resort. At one point it won an award for being the #1 resort in the world.
Stayed there in 1966 – 1967. They painted these little signs that said “Casa (whatever your last name was)” and you could take them home with you….had mine for every home I owned until 1978. A great place … hibiscus in the pool in the morning and a great breakfast tray. Happy times.
Hi Iza,
Thanks for the note. It sounds like you visited not long after it opened? That must have been a real treat! I’m happy to hear you enjoyed your stay (and your sign).
