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 .

During my last visit to my parents’ house, I tried starting Biscuit. The engine would turn over, but wouldn’t fire. It didn’t take long for me to figure out that the electric fuel pump no longer worked. So, I decided on my next visit I’d change from the electric to the stock manual pump.
Today, I took on that project. While a very simple changeover in theory, the practice turned out to be more of a challenge than I expected. For example, the first step in the process required me to break into my tool box, as the keys to my tool box disappeared during my move last summer. After spending an hour searching for the keys, I finally gave up and ‘removed’ the lock’ (with hammer, screw driver, and little finesse).
It was surprisingly easy to remove the lock. However, it was surprisingly difficult to get the lock portion of the drawers to unlock. I won’t bore you with the embarrassing details, but let’s just say that it took us about an hour and half to finally get the tool chest unlocked. Oh, good times!
Next, I had to start pulling off the electrical pump and installing the manual one. It just seemed like I dropped every socked a hundred times, grabbed the wrong wrench with each reach, had to search through the barn to find rarely used tools I had stowed away, and more. Nothing seemed to be easy about the project.
Finally, about 5pm, Ann wandered out to see how I was. I was not good. The socket has just slide off my socket wrench extension again, which meant I had to climb down onto the tarp, scoot under the jeep, and retrieve it, again. I shared some choice words about Biscuit with Ann. She decided to take a picture and post it on Facebook Here is the picture and what she wrote:
Today, under a cloud of tools, grease, and a broken fuel pump came the flood of curse words and the exclamation from Mr eWillys.com himself…. David Eilers “hates Jeeps” 🙁
It took me until about 7pm, but I did finally get the fuel pump installed and the hoses attached. Even better, everything worked. So, now Biscuit and I are all lovely dovey again.
So, I’m done with jeeps for today. Updates tomorrow.
