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 .

That’s a rare Kelly/Beck half cab. There is some parts value here.
“I am selling a CJ-6 that I picked up a few months ago. In one of my weaker moments when I evidently thought that I had somehow found the determination to actually finish a project I drove to VA to get this.
Here is what I know about it.
I drug it home and pulled the head in an attempt to unlock the engine, but didn’t have any success.

“Former Joshua, TX firetruck. I’m not sure what fire apparatus it originally had on the back. I bought this just over 5 years ago in west Texas. It’s been garaged the entire 5 years it’s been in Michigan. The body has some but very little rust, a few dents and dings, and the frame is in great shape. It has a 4-speed transmission, which I’m not sure is original to this VIN. I have a transfer case for it and Warn Overdrive. The Jayhawk dump apparatus on the frame is included, however it is not original to this truck. I have all components for the Jayhawk. I have a clear Michigan title in my name. ”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $11,500.

My son bought me The Oregon Trailer: A New American Journey by Rinker Buck for my birthday. I just finished reading it and really enjoyed it.
The book’s author, Rinker Buck, is a New England columnist who decided he wanted to do a crazyass (his description) thing: drive the Oregon trail in a covered wagon. To my surprise, it turns out that, despite all the Oregon Trail re-enactments, there had been no documented drive of a wagon from Missouri to Oregon since 1910 when Ezra Meeker did it at the age of 80 (Ezra’s credited with igniting interest in saving the trail back in the early 1900s). So, in 2011, Rinker and his brother Nick (along with Nick’s Jack Russel Terrier Olive Oyl) set out for Oregon with a 3-mule team, a wagon, and a trailer.
As Rinker shares the success and failures of his adventure, he also delves into the history of wagons, pioneer emigrants, famous landmarks, and important events that have shaped the trail.
