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 took all of Monday off; I didn’t even look at email (a rarity). So, of course on Sunday evening a large email arrived after I finished working that gummed up my email system, causing me to lose all of Late Sunday night’s, all of Monday’s, and some early morning Tuesday’s emails.
So, if you sent me an email, please resend (and if you are sending large files, please send to d@deilers.com). Thanks.
Next updates will occur wednesday morning.
I’m spending the latter part of this week and weekend with Ann’s family as part of Stongfest (their annual reunion). So, I won’t be doing many updates other than she ones I’ll be doing for the Newfoundland crew (as well as Facebook updates).
This editorial in support of Toledo’s Jeep Fest appeared in the Toledo blade on July 26, 2019.

UPDATE: Tuesday night I finally resolved my email issue that plagued since Monday night, but I lost some emails in the process. If you sent an email on Monday night or Tuesday and didn’t received one in return, email again or email me at d @ deilers.com (with no spaces around the @). Thanks!
Has a few mods. I’m not sure if that’s a Brian Chuchua rear bumper or not.

“Used 1950s military large parade field speakers with stands, amplifier, 33/45 turntable, microphones, original cables which need new wire, a field radio as from Mash with crank on side and jeep loud speaker.
Also have army footlocker with all cables and attachments inside.
Also have vacuum tubes 2 boxes of around 200 vacuum tubes, fuses etc. to maintain this system.
The speakers will work on most amps or stereos.”
We are getting up at 1:45AM Friday morning to drive through Chicago while the traffic is calm. So, only one update (the Dodge video below) today.
UPDATE: This jeep ad is starting to spread to other Craigslists. Here it is on the LA board. The seller wants the buyer to pay for the jeep using eBay gift cards. Here’s a discussion about that type of scam.
A reader alerted me to a scam ad in Sacramento. The seller, Ms. Lisa Cruz, claims to be selling a nice CJ-5 for only $1600. The reader relayed the following:
I was in contact with the seller yesterday via email to find out what was up with this really nice looking Jeep. She says the low price is correct, I said OK I will buy it. Sent her my name,address, phone, She said eBay will get back to me. Never heard anything back. Then someone calls me this morning on the phone and said lisa gave me my number, He said he has a jeep for sale, a 1969 V-6. Since he has my number he asked to text me photos of jeep. Haven’t got them yet,”
The ad has already been flagged once, but then popped up again shortly thereafter. Here’s the current link: https://sacramento.craigslist.org/atq/d/sacramento-kaiser-jeep-cj-cj5/6920359522.html
AD TEXT: JEEP for passenger safety.Tailgate is clean and solid, and the wrapped chains hold it firmly in place. There is no sign of rust or rot on the gate inside or outside.Engine bay is just beautiful, and is ready to display at your local cruise night or car show with pride!The JEEP starts with one push of the gas pedal and a turn of the key when cold, and without the single pump when warm. It idles cleanly, and is ready to go when you are.It drives wonderfully, and has only the typical light play found in a CJ”
Updates return Monday morning.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
Looks like a project.
“Odd fire v6”
I’d like to see more pics of this one.
