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 .
This is just odd. This price can’t be correct, but it seems to be listed on this ad and on the dealership facebook page. Strangely, every other vehicle on the company’s FB page is exceptionally low, too. Something doesn’t seem right.

This seems more and more common in FB ads these days. Dealerships are either “pricing” vehicles at the down payment they require, or they are deliberately listing a deceitful low price to get you to contact them. I see this frequently from a dealer in Shreveport, LA, whose ads often appear in my searches.
I’m familiar w/that area Dave. A lot of car dealers along Western Ave./Blvd. My guess is that the price listed is the fee you gotta put in the Alderman’s/City Hall’s pocket, before you can proceed to do any legit’ business. Dat’s just da way it werks in Chicago!
It’s not something I’ve seen, but sure seems like a violation of state law to me, given there’s no disclaimers or explanations included in the ad. Specifically, Illinois law states in Section 475.210 under Clear and Conspicuous − Disclosure of Material Terms:
“It is an unfair or deceptive act to advertise, offer for sale or sell any motor vehicle without disclosing all material terms and conditions relating to the offer clearly and conspicuously at the outset of the offer so as to leave no reasonable probability that the offering might be misunderstood. Material terms include, without limitation, those mandated by federal law including, but not limited to, those Acts listed in Section 475.250, or state law, or without which the advertisement would be false or misleading.”

I see these ads on Chicago facebook all the time, I have learned to scroll right on by.
If it’s got a gmail address, it’s definitely a scam…see a lot of fake posts in Des Moines Craigslist postings…..I flag them all….
