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: **STATUS UNKNOWN** Was $550.
Here’s a different sort of tailgate bench.

No updates for Sunday. We toured the backroads of the Washington’s Palouse area on Saturday. On Sunday we’ll be heading up to Spokane. From there we haven’t decided where we are heading. So, no updates tonight or Sunday, but I’ll make sure there will be something for Monday.
On the jeep hunting front, we found and took pics of a great old fiberglass racer in parked in ‘downtown’ Benge, Washington.
Here’s a photo from Steptoe Butte State Park, a place that has a 360 degree view of Washington’s Palouse area. We just happened by the entrance; I’d never heard of the place. Here’s Ann, I and Zollie (short for Zoloft) looking north over the surrounding farmlands.

These two photos were part of a 23 photo collection in a Feral Irishman’s blog post. Some of the photos we’ve seen, but several I hadn’t.

The Princeton graduating class of 1932 used a jeep to celebrate their 15th reunion (in 1947) by hauling a keg in it. This photo was published in the June 16, 1947, issue of Life Magazine (page 60).
The related article takes an in-depth look at the class of ’32 by interviewing and publishing their incomes, job changes, marital status and more. It’s actually a pretty interesting article. I was surprised to see that by 1947 31% of marriages ended in divorce. One of the graduates of ’32 was Jimmy Stewart. Do you suppose he’s somewhere in the back of that jeep?

Blaine spotted this unusual jeep go kart in a Hemmings article about the 2011 Hershey, PA, swapmeet.

Omix-Ada’s President, Al Azadi, has a jeep collection that totals at least 20 jeeps, including some prototypes (see six of his jeeps below). At the November 5-7 2013 Sema Show in Las Vegas, he’ll be showing off a portion of their collection.

You might remember Juan’s jeeps and his story from a post in October 2012. Well, here are some more photos. I love this first photo of Juan and some friends that are shown with his truck. He was part of a movie shoot.
Here are some of Juan’s jeeps:
