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 .
All they needed now was a spokesperson, someone to inform the masses. Who better, they thought, then Dave Barry. Well, it took 7 years, but they finally got Dave’s attention and he wrote a column about their unique holiday.
There were a few strange quirks to the old comments subscription system so I have installed a new one.
What does this mean to you?
1) Re-subscribe: You might have to re-subscribe to those posts that you were previously following (sorry about that). One short cut for that is to sort your incoming emails by ewillys and then click on the post links to get there.
2) No Commenting necessary to subscribe to a comment: You no longer have to comment on a post to subscribe to it.
How does it work?
When you want to follow comments about a post, you scroll to the bottom of the whole post or click on the comments link at the top of a post. Then you’ll see two options for receiving comments on the post via email.
Either (1) make a comment, click the “notification box”, and then click the submit button to submit your comment OR don’t make a comment, enter your email address and click on the “subscribe” button.
If you have any questions, email me at d@ewillys.com.
The next step in the process is to go back through all my posts and reorganize them into new sections, so changes will be ongoing …

If my addition is correct, readers have located 6 rare Stewart handcrank heaters in the US & UK. They are rare enough that the antique Road Show people couldn’t get any information about them from their buyers (see the 2nd to last post on this page).
Dennis, who’s heater is featured here, decided to fire up his heater at night, creating this cool picture. He also sent an unrelated artsy pic of an M37 he thought he’d share. Thanks!
I spent the day pondering a new design for ewillys. One goal was to get more of a script for the ewillys brand that I could use to create t-shirts, etc with. Also, I wanted to reorganize things a bit. Finally, I want to more tightly incorporate the dynamic areas into the overall design (similar to what I have tested in the current design). NOTE: I haven’t filled in anything in the sidebar, but most of the side bar info on the current design would appear in the sidebar of the new design. click on the pic to get the full effect.
Once again, wandering the internet today looking for information on mounting my steering wheel know resulted in several interesting posts.
This post is about a jeep tour business out of Marble, Colorado called Crystal River Jeep Tours. You can visit the website or learn more about it from this 2008 trip with some video and this post with videos as well.
Here’s a little bit about the tours, ” Crystal River Jeep Tours is located in Marble, Colorado, where the pavement ends and the beauty begins. CRJT was established in 1951 and ranks among the oldest adventure tour operations in the state. Take one of our guided tours to historic Crystal City and the Crystal Mill, experience the breathtaking views and wild flowers along the Lead King Basin road or the valley panorama from the top of Sheep Mountain. Overlook the Yule Marble Quarry from Treasure Mountain, or experience the Devils Punch Bowl at the foot of Schofield Pass. Our guided tours are an experience found nowhere else in the world, which skirt the edge of the Maroon Bells-Snowmass wilderness area in the White River National Forest.”
As you probably noticed, I’ve been testing out some different technologies, like the javascript slider on the front page. Unfortunately, the menus don’t roll over it, so that’s not going to work. I’ll be mucking with this stuff the next few days, so bear with me.
I’ve also noticed that there’s a number of issues with IE-6 with this design (drop down menu problems and sidebar issues for starters), so I may do a total redesign over labor day weekend.
It’s true that I could use a development site, but what fun would that be.

I’ve posted a number of jeeps tonight. I still have 12 more to post, but I’m going to bed. I’ll get them up in the AM.

There will racing all weekend, including barrels, drags, team relay, obstacle course, cross country course, and something called a side by side (?), but I haven’t figured out what the heck that is. So, if someone could explain that to me, I’d appreciate it. Thanks!
It runs from the today through Sunday at the Straddleline ORV park near Olympia, Washington.
