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 .

Nothing about this idea sounds good. Mechanix discusses the attempts to use rockets for braking in their June 1946 edition of the magazine. One of the vehicles tested was a military jeep, with a special pyramid behind the driver to protect in case of a roll. It almost looks like the driver has a seat belt.

UPDATES: Next updates will be on Sunday 11/25/2011.
Though chilly, the weather was sunny yesterday, allowing for some fun in Biscuit. Karson (17) and Kasia (15) took turns driving while Colter (13) decided he was fine with riding in the back. I supervised and drove, while Ann photographed.
The day’s highlight was when I ran out of gas. In my defense, I knew the tank was low and didn’t want to use up our time running to the gas station and back, so I hoped to let the kids play AND save a few drops for the drive back to the side of the garage . . .
We almost made it.
The kids thought this was hilarious, noting that not only did I run out of gas, but I also got stuck in the ditch. Ann countered that I only got stuck in the ditch because I ran out of gas. However, the kids saw it as an ‘and’ situation. So, I’m sure I will never hear the end about the time I both ran out of gas AND got stuck in a ditch with Biscuit.
Fun times 🙂
Mark from Sell-A-Jeep has posted sixteen pages of pictures from the All Breeds show hosted by the PA Jeeps Club. You can check out all the information here.
