About eWillys
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.
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 .

It’s no reserve auction currently at only $102.50. Certainly worth that! I’m less convinced about the ‘extremely collectable’ claim.

I took a quick trip to the New York Transit Museum in Downtown Brooklyn. Housed in the decommissioned Court subway station, the location is not only home to the museum, but has also been used in several movies, including the French Connection and the Taking of Pelham 123 (1974 and 2009 versions).
And, the facility sure feels like a subway, so they got that part right, from the entrance on down.
Museum entrance. It is easy to miss.
The museum tells the story of mass transit and rapid transit solutions in the New York area. There are old trains, old photos, times lines, turnstiles, an array of tokens used (now cards and not tokens are used) and more. It was fun and the museum people were very accommodating (I got to park my extra bag in the stroller waiting area). I was surprised there were no video or audio demonstrations (or I missed them somehow).
Their subway trains were pretty cool (not my photo):
A set of early cars.
A collection of scale model trolleys showed how the local trolleys evolved over time.

Horses, trolleys, rains and people all navigating the same space in 1895 Manhattan. Craziness! Click on it, as I made it extra large.
The outside looks great. The engine compartment could use some cleaning.
