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 .
This looks in good shape. It’s worth a call.

“1970 KID 8×8. These has a very interesting military history that few know about..In a nut shell The KID was built by Kinetics International Division witch was LTV Aerospace.. Its original design was called the MAVC that later become KID 8×8.. The mule as you know was active in the military but the Kid 8×8 was a machine that was built for a platoon vehicle.. The mule was used on the base and the Kid was to follow the platoons and carry extra food, bedding, ammo and could also carry the wounded back in from the field.. the Kid 8×8 started in 1970 as a 1 seat machine for platoon use but our government had them change it to a 2 seat model with 3 point and PTO and was giving them to Asia framers to replace the water buffalos in the rice fields then Vietnam was coming to an end and they stopped sending them to Asia so LTV went after the military needs for a platoon vehicle again but our government said there’s no need because the war is over so LTV sold out inventory and closed the KID 8×8 factory.. No Kid 8×8’s seen military action because they was sent to the rice fields..
The Kid 8×8 was powered by a 4 cylinder Wisconson 30hp gas or a 4 cylinder Perkins 50hp diesel. this one is the gas model.. Its a total Hyd drive system just like the skid steers out today.. This Kid runs and works like it should with new parts in the motor and new tires and rims.. They originaly floated like a boat but i would say this one has leaks in it somewhere to use it as a boat.. The Kid 8×8 is an all metel body machine weighing around 3000lb for a base model..
I would like to find a Military Mule but i would look at other trades as this machine is for sell localy so auction can end at any time….
I have parts and options for these machines like Tracks, Dozer blades {not snow plows but they will push snow}, fender flairs, 3 point, cab options, sideboards, duel tire kits, and much much more.. Check the Kid8x8 web site for ideas.”
I can’t quite tell what’s been done to the front of this besides a plate across the front frame rails. It looks like a solid jeep.
“Nice Jeep, runs well. Fun to drive! These old jeep are bullet proof. Possible trade up for a restored CJ7. Please call or text 501.690.0368 Will not respond to email.”

Nothing like some growing pains!
This morning my host took down the site due to resource overage. Something was causing my server usage to spike. I made a few changes, which seems to have resolved the issue temporarily. So, the site is live again, but it’s really time to move it to a host that can handle more bandwidth/resources/visitors. I’ve spent the last few hours reviewing all sorts of VPS and Dedicated hosting options, with different pricing and hosting structures. It turns out that website hosting companies pay reviewers up to $150 each to refer customers to their hosting packages (depending on the package), so finding unbiased reports turns out to be a challenge.
If I don’t get to updates tonight, I’ll do some during the Seahawks/Falcons game tomorrow.
And, if it goes down again, know I’m working on it 🙂

No updates tonight. Having a nice evening with Ann. Updates tomorrow by mid-day.
Walter Hill, the director of the Horry County Museum, forwarded these pics from the Museum’s archives. Great images!
“Mr. Prather owned a service station in Myrtle Beach as well. He lived in a community on the Waccamaw River/Inter-coastal Waterway called Socastee, not far from Myrtle Beach. Anyone familiar with the area may be familiar with the Socastee Turn Bridge that allowed road traffic across the Inter-coastal Waterway and river traffic down the Inter-coastal Waterway.
Most of the pictures in this collection appear to have been taken near the end of WWII (some images in the collection show GI’s boarding the bus at the Draft office in Conway) up to the early fifties, judging by the automobiles in the pics. One picture shows a license tag on the jeep and I want to say it says 1952. Maybe better eyes can tell if I am correct or not.”
