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 .
Is that some type of special clock on the dash?

This DJ was transformed into a Star Wars Rebel Tai Fighter.
“This old Jeep delivered the mail for the US not too long ago. Now it’s delivering photon beams to the Rebels while simultaneously delivering smiles to the faces of children. Rolls, starts, runs like crap. Bring a TRAILOR. Burns and leaks oil, leaks a little gas from fuel filler neck, original carb. WILL TRADE FOR GAS SCOOTER.”

“This is a 1947 cj2a project that I sadly just dont have the time or money to finish. The rolling chassis is done and has the engine transmission and transfer case. All parts have been sandblasted epoxy primed and painted with a high quality automotive paint. Axles have been gone through, new bearings were installed where needed. The engine has all new gaskets and was rebuild sometime before I owned it, nice crosshatching on the cylinder walls. All new brakes, everything new. New rancho 2.5 inch lift leaf springs.
The bumpers are 1/4 inch rectangular tube cut to look the same as stock. New stock exhaust and radiator(done after pictures were taken). I have a tub that is in good condition but still needs work done to it, it has a new rear floor and rear panels. I have two hoods one in fair shape the other is in good shape, the windshield frame I have is very nice for the age and has glass in it. Also have the grill and drivers fender, missing the passenger fender and tailgate. I have a buch of miscellaneous parts including a heater also and a new plastic fuel tank. Also have both front seats. This does have a clear title in my name.”
Maybe someone can use? Cage looks good.

Maury had a chance to meet with Doc James the other day, a many who started Ironman Restorations in Pickens, South Carolina, (On Facebook) by buying out the world’s most successful jeep dealer. Maury explains:
“I had the pleasure of visiting Ironman’s shop a couple of weeks ago, which is located a little over an an hour from my house. Having talked with David on the phone several times, I’d hoped to get to meet him, but he had to be away that particular day.
David’s dad Doc, who started Ironman around 40 years ago, was there and showed me around a bit. He also told me the story of how they got started. In the 1970’s, Doc customized jeeps for Larry Hinkle, who owned Hinkle’s Jeep Inc. in Pickens, SC, which at that time was the largest jeep dealership in the entire country.

When Hinkle’s went out of business in the early ’80’s, Doc bought Mr. Hinkle’s entire parts yard. This formed the basis of what is today Ironman’s extensive collection of vintage parts jeeps, which over time was further expanded into what it is today.
A few photos are below showing some of the collection, which winds its way far back into the woods around the James’ shop. They and their staff are very friendly people who go out of their way to help their customers find the parts they need.”
This is one I hadn’t seen.

“WWII Willys MB.
This vehicle is fairly complete but not running. 134Lhead motor, T84 transmission and transfer case. The body has been modified with a hard top and other unique additions. Over all this is a great vehicle for parts etc. Good running gear, front rear and original GI Ross stearing box. The parts are worth alot so $1500 takes it. I’m looking for the title but if not found I can do a notarized bill of sale.”
