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 .
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
There were many variations of Auburn’s Jeep-A-Trench. This list shows pricing, width, and depth options.
Glenn spotted this unusual wagon. It is supposed to have a Mercedes diesel engine. Apparently, some type of Advanced Adaptor part was used to mate the engine to the tranny.
“1950’s spilt window Mercedes diesel engine runs good!”

Both Gerald and Bob sent us pictures Sunday from Bantam Fest. I’ve made a few comments on them, but it’s late, so most are without comments.
Here is one they sent one of them together (Gerald on the left and Bob on the right) holding a picture of Lost Biscuit. Looks like Bob is wearing one of Roberto’s T-shirts.
Below is Lee Bortmas, the Bantam historian in Butler standing next to a BRC-40.
Rick Pewe is Editor-in-Chief of Petersen’s Four wheel & Off-Road Magazine and a recent inductee into the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame. Gerald reports Rick is on a trip from Arizona to Butler to Nova Scotia and back.
