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: Price dropped to $4500

A few days ago in Omaha Ann took me to a favorite local chain called PepperJax. Somebody decided to turn the concept of a buritto shop — where the customer moves down from station to station as someone builds their burrito — into a philly steak shop. So, you can get steak over rice, in a sandwich, in a salad, and more. It was quite good, with the bun made fresh minutes before my sandwich was built and piled high with steak.
After devouring my sandwich, I was admiring some of the old pictures hanging on the wall when I spotted this interesting photo. I tried to find more information about it, but the story escaped my searches. A caption underneath the picture states the image was of an Auto Camp taken September 23, 1920 at Elmwood Park in Omaha, Nebraska,. On the car, which appears to sport all metal spoke wheels (or maybe part wood), were the following phrases:
1. ONLY A FORD
2. 25,000 Miles in 1 YR
3. OVER – 11,000 M in 3 months
4. over 5,000 towns and cities
5. ______ OR BUST (I couldn’t make out the first word).
The car is pretty strange. There must be a good story here. Below is the whole picture followed by a closeup of the car.
UPDATE: A reader at Wes’ offroadaction site noted that these are likely pictures of smoke testing rather than chemical testing as claimed by the Tribune. You can view Harold’s response here.
I spotted these pics at the Salt Lake Tribune’s online site. I wish there were more close ups of the equipment.

This classic 80’s build makes me drool, even with the exterior cooling fan. It even comes equipped with a hot water shower, multiple batteries and a welder. I’m digging the creativity.
