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 .
This just appeared on Facebook. There appears to be a late model CJ-3B brush jeep, a CJ-3A, and a M-38A1. The dark 2A/3A is not for sale. There are supposed to be other parts as well. For those not on Facebook, the seller’s name is Barb watson number and her phone number is 513 304 0141
I’m sorry to report that we’ve cancelled the 2015 Texas trip for the time being. We were supposed to begin the trip April 4th (tomorrow), but Ann’s 86yo grandfather’s health has slipped rapidly in the past couple of days. Hospice assistance is now being provided to him. While his death has been expected for some time, it’s imminent enough that we both feel it is better remain in Pasco.
If we find ourselves skipping Texas this year, we should still be getting to Colorado/Utah/Nevada. There are some places I need to visit and photograph for my current book, so that trip (maybe May??) might be the replacement. Mostly, I’m just itching for a good long trip after being cooped up in my office researching and writing most of the last six months.
The 1966 Volume 12, No. 5, issue of Jeep News featured these photos from Don Pratt’s Pink Jeep Tours from Sedona, Arizona. The company now offers tours in four Arizona locations.
According to this site, Pink Jeep Tours is the oldest continuously operating Jeep Tour Company in the United States. It was started in 1958 by a Sedona Realtor named Don Pratt, who would drive clients to see homes at Broken Arrow Estates. The Broken Arrow tour is the original Jeep tour and is still today the most popular tour in Sedona.Why did he make the jeeps pink? Mr. Pratt got the idea while visiting the Royal Hawaiian Hotel on Waikiki Beach, where everything was pink.
Here’s a classic from my childhood. The illustrations were done by B. K. Taylor. and sold in a series of Odd Rod packages that included chewing gum (see example of package at bottom). These certainly remind one of Big Daddy Roth’s illustrations. You can view more odd rod illustrations here.

Fiberglass body? Or is the dash updated?
