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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.

<– Day 16 – Mon. Apr. 27th: Frontier Texas | TRIP OVERVIEW | Day 18 – Wed. Apr. 29th: Power Wagons & Pecans –>
Dr. Pepper Museum in Waco, Tx, and a happy Dr. Pepper fan eagerly waiting to venture inside.
We had big plans for Tuesday morning. Our first stop was going to be the outdoor historic village of Buffalo Gap. So, when I hopped out of bed at 7:30am and saw that it was raining, we quickly changed that plan. Without feeling rushed, we somehow didn’t get out of the room until 10:30am.
The rain was gently falling as we got onto eastbound Interstate 20. Soon we turned southeast on Highway 6. If there’s one thing I like about these Texas state highways it is the speed limit: 75mph. That’s faster than any of the speeds on Oregon’s Interstates. You can get places in Texas, however the places are so spread apart, that even at 75mph it doesn’t seem fast enough.
Eventually we reached Dublin, Texas. I spotted a cool Dr. Pepper sign and asked Ann if she’d like a photo of it. She agreed, so I did a loop around the block, We weren’t halfway around when we ran into several more Dr. Pepper signs. Then we spotted a Dr. Pepper museum reference. That’s when the light clicked for both us. We both remembered reading that besides the Dr. Pepper Museum in Waco, there was a second one in a small Texas town. This was it.
This is the billboard I spotted while driving through Dublin.
Feeling lucky, we jumped out of the jeep to see what this was all about. We learned that Dublin was home to the first Dr. Pepper bottling plant. The Dublin plant used cane sugar in all their soda pop products, including Dr. Pepper, even when the rest of Dr. Pepper world switched to high fructose corn syrup. This fact angered the Dr. Pepper company, so the company revoked Dublin’s right to bottle and sell it. Now, the Dublin Bottling Works bottles and sells a variety of custom flavors and sells them all over the country.
Seth spotted this odd eBay auction. I can’t imagine a context that would have produced such a pin. Is it truly vintage? Jeep Clubs and Victory? Or is that V for 5?

Is the USMC serial number on the side normal? I don’t remember seeing that in other photos.
“Original WWII press photo of US Marine Lt. General Holland Smith, Commanding Amphibious Assault Troops in Pacific (standing) showing US Fleet C-in-C Admiral Ernest King and Admiral C. W. Nimitz (seated in jeep) aroung on Saipan, 7-24-1944.”

Brian is selling his collection of jeep memorabilia, documents, signs and more. He’s sharing some of the pics at sellajeep.com. You’ll need to email him for prices and for a full list of what he has available.
“After 30 years in the Jeep business I am selling off my massive collection. I am long time master Jeep restorer and collector Brian Hainer. There are hundreds of vintage and modern toys, thousands of manuals and pieces of Jeep literature, dealer signs, dealer items etc.
The collection includes items from WW2 to about 1986, last of the CJ’s. Lots of NOS toys new in the box. The MB toy is #92 of 250 made by Fine Art Models, very rare to see one for sale. The sign photo is of a very large dealer sign. One panel says jeep and the other service. Over 18 feet long. I have a lot of factory photos and a huge pile of original blueprints of the Willys factory and of parts. Some are half scale and over 12 feet long.
I am also restoring a CJ5 snowblower Jeep right now, next will be a CJ5 trencher, after that is a CJ5 diesel Jeep with a large compressor that was used for drilling rock in New Hampshire to make ski slopes, and finally a CJ3B welder Jeep. All of these were factory equipped as described, and all are getting a careful restoration that I am known for. If anyone is interested now you can have the Jeep built as you like, such as color, tires, etc.
I am hoping to find good homes for all my vehicles and memorabilia so don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to own the item you have been looking for!
Pictured are just a few of the thousands of items I have so please email for more details.”
