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: Price dropped to $6300.
(06/22/2023) This looks to be built as a sand jeep. It is 2WD.

“Lot going on here. Pump is a Marlowe pump and pumps 720 gpm. Engine may be locked up.It is a 4 cylinder Jeep engine. The tires are off and in barn so that they don’t get weathered. There is a spare pump included. There are two pipe trailers with 5″ and 3″ pipe. Gaskets may need to be replaced. Third trailer with risers and connectors.”
I would be interested to know why the seller believes this was a MP jeep. The driver’s side frame real looks patched.

“These were on a 1963 CJ5. $250. Windows do roll up and down but could use some lubrication.”
The seller notes the title indicates it is a 1955, but the body style, grille and dash suggest late 1940s.

UPDATE: Tom just shared this Google view of how the site looks now. The indents of the oval track can still be seen. He added, “The Pin is in the center of the Mud Race Track. The camp ground is in the trees on the right. The view is looking south“
========================
Tom shared these images from the 1970 Ridge Runners Jeep Race. There’s a couple video clips of the 1977 race just below this one.
Tom added a few historical details I didn’t know, “the Ridge runners had a camp ground on the south side of Ahtanum Creek about half way between Wiley City and Tampico. They rented the land from a guy whose last name was Herkey. The Mud races were held there every Memorial day weekend. You had to ford the creek to get there.”
Notes: The pack hits the first water hole
The leaders plow through the mud and another splashes.
