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 has a few updates, but looks solid.

“This is a real woody with the wood recently installed and done in several coats of finish on hemlock..any other so called “woodies” you see will be painted and look like crap..beautiful blue paint with newer back floor wood restored in bed. Interior upholstered and repainted… 6 cylinder motor is very strong and transmission is excellent as well as all window and door rubber and tires..This very sought after 1952 willys can be driven anywhere.

These photographs were taken by Ron Day, who wrote articles about the races and has hundreds of additional photos. I’ve contacted him, thanked him for publishing the photos, and asked if he had any additional information he could share. Ron now lives in Alaska and continues to photograph. You can see his website here: http://rondayvous.com/

Not all the vehicles were modified. Many 1970s racers were trail jeeps with winches and tow bars still attached, such as this drag racer.

Bill from Lime Street Carriage Works was enjoying himself today, lining up some jeeps and photographing them. You’ll note the FC-170 he scored recently.
