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 .
If the engine is in good shape, it’s worth the price of the jeep. Thanks to Blaine for sharing it.

“Mini jeep 22 hp”
It’s a project.

“Nissan Patrol project. This has been sitting for quite a while, it does start and run with the choke but may need carb cleaning. Will need to go through mechanicals and bleed brakes and clutch before it is drivable. Good starting point for a rare Nissan 1 of about 2600 that were sold in U.S. Title says it’s a 1969 but from what I have read its a 68 sold in 69.”
Bill shared this rare Roof Palomino with the mower bed.
https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/083124-1970-Roof-Palomino-Lawn-Mower-ad.jpg
“Rare 1970 Roof Palomino two seater riding
mower. Only 300 were produced from 1968 -1970 this is one of the last 30 produced with a
Hi / Lo hydrostatic transmission. The Roof Palomino is original paint except for
the wheels. The Palomino runs and drives has working headlights and overall in good condition. Very
unique piece. Price $8000 or trade for 30+ hp 4×4 tractor with brush hog will ad cash depending what you have.”
Appears in good shape.

(06/24/2024) Here’s a good example of a model 90 Empire Tractor.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1802997260190701
“Empire tractor built in Philadelphia PA using Jeep componthrents from radiator to rear end including the entire drivetrain. This unit has many original parts including hoses, hose clamps, wiring and wire clamps. Engine and drivetrain are all original. Tool box is a reproduction. The light switch has been changed and possibly the temperature gauge. It’s a three speed with a two speed transfer case. Road speed is 25mph plus. Reason for selling : I’m older than the tractor and loading/unloading at shows has become a chore.”
This is different! More info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shorland_armoured_car
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1195894038116706
“Very original example with original machine gun mount, periscope, smoke cannisters, ammo racks, insulation. Recently replaced points, coil, plugs, and plug wires. This is a Shorland Mk3 built on the long wheel base Land Rover Series 3. Drivetrain is all Land Rover with salisbury axles.
Needs front axle swivel ball seal replacement (have the complete kit already just need to install)
Has Clean Colorado Title
Please do research before asking questions. Happy to answer questions but answers for things like weight, height, horsepower, etc are all available online see e.g. shorlandsite.com.”
These two Topeka Hiway mowers, built by the American Hoist and Derrick Company, are for sale. The second one shown has an original mower, which is rare to find.

This doesn’t run, but is a pretty complete example of a mower. I’m not sure how many had the “flail mower” attachment? Maybe that was common?

This odd thing includes an original sticker indicating it was sold by Sahlberg Equipment out of the Seattle area. At first I thought it was some kind of Hi-Way mower?
