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 .
Gerald is all ready for the Bantam Festival. Note that I will be riding with him in spirit, as he will have a picture of me and Biscuit on or near his jeep. So, stop on by, say hello, and get your picture taken with my picture. 🙂
Gerald writes, “We had my Dad’s 46 (red), Brother’s 48 (blue) and my 63 (cj3b) all in the same place for the first time. My brother also has a 50 M-38 to add but here’s the 3 at the Butler Farm show with a couple other flat fenders from our club.”
UPDATE: Don’t forget, it is this weekend! I plan to be around Saturday afternoon. See you there!
Dates: August 5, 6, 7, 2011.
This is an FC only event open to anyone interested in Jeep FC Trucks and Fleetvans.
On September 25, 2011, Bob will be hosting a flat fender gathering.
The2nd annual Northern Ohio Flatfender Gathering will be held at his house on Sept 25th. Please contact Bob at jeep3b(at)gmail.com. He will provide lunch, restroom facilities and a camp fire. He has plenty of room for parts to sell and trailers if you haul to it.
Kim asked me to share an upcoming event.
Old FT. MacArthur Days July 9th and 10th at the FT. MacArthur museum in San Pedro California.
This is a “Historical Time Line Event” with re-enactment groups from Romans to modern day and everything in between. This is a great event to bring the kids too they will learn more correct world history in one afternoon than any school could teach. S 1 Patrol and the S.A.S. jeep will be their as well as many other vehicles including either the Sherman or Stewart tank. There is a $10.00 donation for adults and I believe kids under 12 are free. The money every bit of it goes to benefit the museum and keep up the park it is built on. The museum gets NO financial aid from our government. There are food and drink for sale as well as a good size vendor area if you are searching for something of the historical nature. S 1 Patrol will be on the right hand side as you come through the gate come by and say Hello Mate.
HOG noted that the 2nd annual Jeep Week in Ocean City, MD, is only a couple months away! You can learn more at the event website.
Glenn sent me the following note:
“I just received a commitment from Pam Weidel that she and John B. Haines IV will bring Nellybelle out to play at The Great Willys Picnic in Lansford, PA on Sunday, June 12, 2011. This will be, I believe, the first all Willys event for Roy Rogers famous CJ2A Jeep since Ms. Weidel purchased it last summer. Nellybelle was at AACA Hershey last October and resides permanently in Mr. Haines Race Car / Truck Museum in Pennsburg, PA. Don’t miss being there if you are anywhere nearby. I’m traveling 500 miles to be in the middle of this Willys spectacle.”
While not jeep specific, there will be jeeps at this swap meet, which will be at the Idaho Motor Pool in Fruitland, Id. When I cruised past the property on I-84 last night, I saw at least 2 M38A1s, one flattie, and a m-151.
Bob’s been busy with his camera this morning on what appears to be a beautiful Saturday in Mason. He reports that fun was had at a local Mongolian BBQ last night, keeping some of the folks busy until late.
See all the photos here. There seems to be a little something for everyone.
Bob’s got the first group of pics up from the 2011 Spring Reunion. I have selected a few to share below, but click here to view all of his images at his flickr site. I’ll check for updates tonight.
