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 .

The jeep is pretty much rust free it needs a couple spots and fixed but minor. The jeep has power steering and a GM tilt steering column. The motor has been replaced with a 225 ci v6 really small engine good on fuel. Upgraded to 12volt. The motor is from a 60’s jeep. With a brand new fuel pump. Stock 3 speed tranny and stock transfer case. It has a new fuel tank. Newer military tires. All lights work. Also 2 new windshield motors and a brand new tow bar in front. The jeep also has a heater that works really well. And I also have two spare axles from a 1994 jeep wrangler that has upgraded 4:11 gears and a lock rite locker in the rear. I also have a box of receipts from the past owner. Also have title in hand and is currently registered. Please only serious buyers.”

<– Day 30 – Sun. June 2nd: State #49 Was Exciting! | Trip Overview | Day 32 & 33 – Tues. June 4th & Wed. June 5th: Rudeness at the Parkside Diner –>
The Shelburne Museum was a fun place to visit!
On Monday we traveled from Burlington, Vermont, to Pulaski, New York, via Rome, Poland and Russia!
On Monday we traveled from Burlington, Vermont, to Pulaski, New York.
Ann and I started the day in Burlington, Vermont. As we left our hotel, we decided to wander the streets of Burlington and find some iced black tea. So, we walked over to the nearby walking-mall in downtown Burlington that we’d spotted when we arrived on Sunday evening.
As soon as we stepped onto the plaza, we loved the place. Even on a monday morning with temperatures in the mid-60s, people were milling about. Many restaurants had sitting areas arranged in such a way that it reminded me of the small towns in Eastern Europe I’d visited back in 2003.
This shows the southern half of the outdoor mall.
I spotted this jeep in this long, cool mural on a wall in Burlington, VT.

A detail shot.

I guess Burlington fancies itself a ski town?
Outdoor seating for a restaurant.
And what trip to Vermont would be complete without checking out Ben & Jerry’s?
After exploring the city, we eventually found some black tea at a dark, cool coffee shop called Muddy Waters. The tea was good and the atmosphere unique. We followed up the tea with some bagels.
After our walk through Burlington, we were intent on getting into the jeep and driving, because we had about five hours to go. We made it all of fifteen minutes when we spotted a beautiful covered wooden bridge.. Ann immediately wanted to take a picture of it, but we had to figure out how to reach it. As we drove, we discovered several more buildings separated by beautiful landscaping. All were behind a big fence. Eventually it dawned on us we were looking at a museum of some kind.
So, our drive plans immediately changed!
This is the covered bridge we’d spotted from the road.
When Ann and I were visiting with Bob in York, Maine, he shared a photo of him and Heck Bardsley next to NASA Astronaut Chris Cassidy, who is floating far above us in the International Space Station right now (see the whole crew here).
My theory is that NASA uses jeeps with stock brakes for physiological tests. If an astronaut can stop a vintage jeep going 60mph with stock brakes, they can handle just about anything! Chris won’t get to ride in another jeep until he and his crew land in September, 2013. (And I thought our eight week trip was long!)
