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 .
Unclear if this was rebuilt. It looks like it was cleaned and then sprayed.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4100.
If I understand correctly, this only goes backwards? Looks nice otherwise. TH350s are cheap.

No updates tonight. I will update early tomorrow morning on the road to WAAAM.
I’ll be in Hood River, Or, with Ann at the Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum (WAAAM) to sign books on Saturday, May 12th. The event is part of their “Second Saturday” program, when the museum gets the engines running. You can learn more here: http://www.waaamuseum.org/pages/whatsNew/whatsNew.html
The WAAAM folks may also ask me to give a short presentation about jeeps, but they aren’t sure just yet. If so, I’ll get Ann to video tape it and, if I’m semi-intelligible, I’ll post it.
Here’s a picture of the Bantam T-Shirt. They come in different colors, depending on the shirts I can find. I only print in quantities of 20 or so.
Ann and I are back in Seattle tonight awaiting Dad’s surgery tomorrow. He is having his aortic valve replaced. We expect things will go well, but there are a few complications, so it’s no simple surgery.
Therefore, just a few updates tonight. More tomorrow.
Also, I will be signing books at the WAAAM Museum in Hood River, Oregon, this Saturday. So, stay tuned for more on that later this week.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is unusual. The winning bidder receives the opportunity to pick one of the three vehicles available. None of them are in very good condition.
“These trucks have not ben run for a long time.auction is for one only of your choice. they are 4 wheel drive with plow will need work. Auction is for one only not all three.”
Updates Sat morning.
I was doing updates this morning in the Veteran’s Administration parking lot again this morning when I got distracted with the Forklift post below. I have more updates to do, so watch for them late tonight.
In the meantime, I’ll be caring for Ann — the reason I was at the VA again today — who had a tooth and bridge removed and her jaw bone scraped to clear up some infected bone (a continuing legacy of the 1996 bombing). Right now, between Lorazepam and Oxycodone, she’s pretty out of it. I’d be out of it too if someone just scraped by jaw bone!
A reader has a CJ-5 he’d like someone to fix. Anyone know of a dependable jeep mechanic in the Los Angeles Area?
Thanks,
– Dave
No posts tonight, so I republished some older ones. I will try to do some posts tomorrow during the day, but tomorrow night I am signing books and speaking at an art exhibit in Normandy Park, Washington (South of Seattle). So, there may not be any updates until Friday.
