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 .
Limited updates for Sunday. We are having our annual Oolie Christmas gathering, which means lots of mayhem. In the meantime, here’s a story that Alaska Paul spotted about a family who traveled around in a custom motorhome towing a CJ-2A

Great story Paul , thanks for sharing. They sure don’t build em like they used to
That is one short tow bar and a great RV.
Returning home on Sunday, we were driving through Eau Claire en route to church when the Jeep disconnected as we crossed some railroad tracks. We had just started down a steep grade to the north end of the business section of Eau Claire. The Jeep cleared the back end of the Limited and continued down the steep grade. It seemed to be heading directly towards a group of people coming out of a church on the opposite side of the street. Only some shrubbery separated the people from the Jeep, which was accelerating towards them.
I was helpless, but the good Lord took over in the split second and turned the Jeep into a tree or it would have mowed down dozens of people. The impact bent the heavy channel iron bumper and 12.5 inch solid bar into a horseshoe. The debarked tree showed the wound years later. This was just the beginning of the end of our Galesville Limited travels.

Another Jeep/tree story……………
Good article and I’m jealous of both vehicles, lucky family!
That is so great. I would have loved to have been around for this.
Great story. Who would have the time and patience required to fabricate such an iconic vehicle today (virtually by himself). Would love to have seen it on the open road. Are those days gone?
