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 .
Maury forwarded this link about the double-wide wrangler. Someone else did too, but I’ve managed to misplace that email.
Thanks to Warren for forwarding this lead. Perhaps it is more accurate to call these mini-jeep trains, but just outside Freeport, Maine, there is a CJ-5 and CJ-7 that still pull tourists in a tourist-trailer around the sand (which I think they call ‘narrated coach tours’). You can learn more about them here. I managed to find a few photos of them on Flickr. It looks like there are two different coaches.

Gerald spotted this jeep ring sold by Fast Eddie’s Jewelry. You can find them on Facebook. They will custom make all kinds of rings. Hmm .. not sure I have a category for this topic!

I had updates scheduled to go out early on Monday morning, but they didn’t appear (related to changes I made to reduce resource use on my current server … grrrr). So, I’ve just pushed them out manually tonight.
Meanwhile, tonight my internet is down. So, I spent time researching and then playing around with the cover to my new book. Everything on the cover could change — title, subtitle, arrangement, my pseudonym, colors — I’m just working it through. Mom’s read the first draft and really enjoyed it. But, hey, it’s my mom. For fun here’s the book front cover draft, and I emphasize draft. Still lots of work left before its ready.
Gerald spotted this M-38A1-turned-flower-planter near the Crafted Warehouse at the Port of Los Angeles. There appear to be salvageable parts left.
This photo is for sale on eBay.

Lycoming developed a generator/starter for planes that fit in the back of a jeep. I am guessing that this ad is probably from an aviation magazine, because I found an article about the Lycoming generator in the 1952 Aviation Weekly. Unfortunately, I could only view a snippet of it in Google. There is also a discussion of it at the CJ-3B Page.

I’d like to know how you open the back gate on this? Looks like a fun rig.
