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 arrived back in Pasco today after a week+ absence, so I’m spending some time with my honey. No updates Wednesday.
On a side note, just a few miles outside of Renton an early Parkway Conversion drove by me. Not a sight i see every day! It had an early grille.
Bob and his wife spotted this rare Palomino Mower on Friday at the Pioneer Engineer’s Reunion.
John took these photos almost fifty years ago when he went to Vietnam between 10/1963-10/1964.
This first photo is from Khe Sahn:
Click on the photo and you’ll see a wagon on the right and, possibly, a CJ-3A on the left.
John calls these elephants the original 4x4s
I think this ‘4×4’ would have been the most practical for getting places quickly.
Ann and I had a ‘date night’ Tuesday night, so I didn’t get anything done.
Early Friday morning I plan to head for Portland where I’ll drop by the MVPA convention. I’ll spend a few hours there and then head north (via Herm’s place if he’s around — still have to call him). I’ll be in Seattle for at least a week. During the first week of August I’ll be dropping by the FC Event in Tacoma.
I’m half done tightening up the book (have dropped about twenty pages) and cleaned up bad transitions, dealt with a few logic problems, and fixed a variety of errors.
UPDATE: Still Available. These appear to sport Armstrong Desert Dogs, which aren’t the type of dogs with the meaty tread.
“Set of 4 Hurricane wheels 5 on 5 1/2. The tires aren’t any good but the wheels are in pretty good shape. Call or text 765-242-8909.”

Had a nice Saturday evening with Ann, so no updates in the morning. Some later on Sunday.
No updates tonight.
I will be in Seattle for a week or more at the end of July, beginning of August. I’m pulling Biscuit’s engine and replacing the TH350 tranny for a T-18 (still have to locate that). I’ll also be dropping by the Northwest FC Get Together in Tacoma in early August.
On my way to Seattle, I was hoping to drop by the MVPA’s international convention in Portland (July 25-27th), but now am not sure whether I’ll have the time or not. Anyone going to that?
The kids leave on WEdnesday, so I’ll save most updates until after they leave. Then, I’ll start into the final updates for the book.
We are spending the evening with Ann’s family in Monroe and then traveling back to Pasco on Sunday, so no updates until Monday morning. I’ll be out of email reach for most of that time.
This is a mix of parts.
“Stock 1946 cj2a with a 1950 m-38 body. Jeep also has a warn overdrive. Jeep ran when parked. This jeep needs to be restored. The only trade I would be interested in would be a old style flat fender jeep pickup. $2500.00. Jack 916-991-5756”
