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 .

I just ran across this video of Cam Carter racing the family race jeep Priority. His parents, Tim and Lynette, are friends of mine and were great drivers (probably still are). The video shows Cam is channeling their skills. Tim is in the passenger seat providing occasional advice. It looks like they are running a cross country course at the Monroe Adventure Park.
Priority is a fiberglass Parkette body with a custom link arm suspension. I rode in the jeep on an early version of the suspension a few years ago, but Tim made some changes to it that improved it quite a bit I’m told. It’s powered by an aluminum V8 with about a trillion horse power that feed in a Ford Toploader four speed that used to be in dad’s CJ-5.
Dad had a side shifter installed when he owned the tranny. First and reverse gear were so close. I was learning to drive it on the road when, after stopping at a stoplight during a training drive, I mistakenly put the tranny into reverse rather than first. I nearly backed into the person behind me when I let out the clutch. Dad was in the passenger seat and was pretty rattled by my near mistake (as was I). Fortunately, I had a good grasp of how to use the brake, which averted an embarrassing wreck 🙂
Here’s a link to a nice store about Donald Fouste written by his kids. As a rancher out of Hells Canyon, Idaho, Don and his family needed the utility and comfort a 4WD truck could offer. This truck came with a stock bed, but Don modified it by installing a flatbed and stock racks. He also added a carrying rack on the top. The truck was equipped with a rear PTO, which allowed him to use a saw or water pump.

Marc found this neat photo. This Caterpillar dealer has some guts to drive the old Cochabamba-Santa Cruz Highway without the aide of a winch. Maybe there’s a big truck with a winch in front of it?

How about this cool DJ-5 custom grille. The photographer who posted these pics (and others) was also the builder.

If I’d only known . . . Apparently Ceclia Gomez operates a popcorn and cotton candy stand out of a pink DJ-5 near Sunset Park in Brooklyn (near 5th Avenue and 50th Street). My wife says that is a must stop on our next trip to New York!

Colin dropped by the 2014 Barrett Jackson auction and filed the following report.
“Went to Barrett-Jackson today with fellow Jeepster and DJ3A owner Jim Sullivan and saw several Willys vehicles that I thought would be of interest. I have attached several photos with a short explanation of each.
1961 FC 150 done in Coca Cola style, might have been on eWillys a week or so ago? (ed note — this FC-Coca Cola is similar, but not the same.)
A rat rod Willys wagon about a 1950-52 model (here are more pics):

John recently posted some detail photos of jeeps froma visit to a Wings and Wheels Fly-In at Poplar Grove, Illinois in 2008. It is mostly Jeep detail photos for restoration reference. He hopes the photos will benefit some folks.
Marc spotted this interesting photo. A British Armoured Division is shown waiting for additional signals near Pyingyaing (near Kalewa, Burma).
