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 .
Here are a few parts.

We arrived safely in Pasco, Wa, this evening, 6500 miles after beginning our journey. Thanks to everyone who shared time with us and we look forward to see those we didn’t get a chance to see on this trip (hopefully this summer). We will spend a few days here (At Ann’s Mom’s house) before heading up to Seattle to drop off the paintings. No updates tonight, but more tomorrow.
No updates tonight, but will update from the road tomorrow. Hopefully the roads will improve.
UPDATE: Tolls and Tolls and Tolls … A third of I-90 is now Tolls. I can definitely NOT recommend driving I-90. I didn’t realize just how many Toll booths have been added in illinois alone.
With the car packed with paintings and we left this afternoon bound for Seattle. Our plan is to take I-90 and our hope is to make it over the Rockies at the Montana/Idaho border on Sunday when the weather is supposed to be good. Otherwise, the forecast is snow before Sunday and after Monday. It is midnight now. We should be in Madison, Wi by about 9am Eastern time and will be somewhere in Rapid City, South Dakota, by the time we sleep tomorrow night.
If you tried to access eWillys this evening (Tuesday), you likely reached an error screen. I believe my google xml sitemap plugin was causing problems, so I am hoping removing it has fixed the problem. I also removed the mapping program in hopes that will also reduce the heavy resource demands of the site. Hopefully these changes will fix the problem.
Thanks, Dave

Due to the snow along I-80 yesterday we decided to travel northward from Omaha to Washington along I-90. I mentioned to Ann I had never seen Mt. Rushmore and she said that I have to see it. So, this morning I will be ‘investigating’ the Rapid City, South Dakota, area for any jeeps. I will push my investigation as far south as Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse, so dedicated I am. Later today when we get back on the road for the remaining 14 hour drive, I will report on my success (or failure).
I had hoped to do updates tonight, but after a busy and successful day in Denver, I am wiped. I will do updates tomorrow on the road as we head back to Nebraska. We hope to make it to Omaha before the snow storm descends upon us.
I did want to thank James for inviting Ann and I to see his project (pictures tomorrow). I also wanted to thank Guy for his invitation to tour the Pikes Peak International Raceway, which I will have to delay until my next visit to Colorado Springs.
Here are a couple pics from Casa Bonita, which is a fun tourist trap in Denver. We had a great time. The first pic is Ann and I and the second one is me doing the Mamba (strangely, I was the only adult doing the Mamba …). We have pics of the cliff divers, but they came out a bit too dark.
No pics provided.
