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 .
How about this odd jeep-related item. Priced at $30.
“Unusual vintage trophy of a U.S. Army Jeep mounted to a wooden base awarded for safe driving. The metal plaque on front of the base is engraved “50,000 Accident Free Miles – PHILEMON A. REDMON – Salt Lake City Recruiting Battalion – Feb 84 – Jun 87″. The model jeep is cast in a bronze finished metal with excellent detail. The trophy stands almost 5″ tall on a 4″ square base, and weighs 1.75 lbs. The underside of the base has the original sticker from the maker, the PAC Agency from San Francisco. Whether you collect Militaria , vintage trophies or jeeps, add this one to your display. ”
