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 .

John forwarded this article about a Willys truck bank that was rebuilt into a proper jeep truck.

Josh shared some photos of pages from this Ford Motor Company twenty-page book titled In The Service of America. The book contains photos of jeeps, seeps, and other contributions Ford made to the war effort. We believe the book was published in 1945.
Yes, we are joining the crowds in Phoenix for the most excellent 2016 FC-Roundup this year!! As always, the event takes place March 18-20th at Ybarra “Resort and Spa” Get all the details here: http://thefcconnection.com/2016_fc_roundup_march_18-20,2016.htm
We also plan to do a few other things while in the area:
1. We will check out the Goldfield Ghost Town this year.
2. We’ll be driving down to Tucson to visit the ASARCO (what’s left of the company anyway) Mineral Discovery Center and Mine Tour. Since my latest book is about the early history of the once giant smelting and refining company, it seemed like a good idea to go on one of their tours.
3. No trip to Phoenix would be complete without sharing a beer with “Joe in Mesa”.
Looks like that was tough going.
