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: Price dropped to $2000

“This is a very fun and reliable toy. 4 cylinder motor, was government owned for most of it’s life so it was well maintained. Has some rust but not much. 6 volt system all works. i have parts for a full top and doors that need to be repaired. this is a lot cheaper than a rhino, terex or the other side by sides and you can drive it on the street too. License is current. it has had a lot of parts replaced, it is ready to use.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
(04/29/2011) This may be a VEC, but it’s been modified.

I’d never heard of the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum, located in McMinnville. However, Ann visited there a few years ago and says it’s a beautiful museum. Moreover, there is a B-52 there that they allowed her to go underneath so she could describe how they used to load and unload weapons. The Spruce Goose is also there.
Besides all the airplanes, the museum also has a jeep. This picture was taken by Joe Swallia on 2011. Note the hubs. They looks like early Warn hubs.

Interestingly, here is a picture from 2010 which shows a different jeep. You can view it at The Wander Gossage blog. Maybe there are two jeeps there?
It needs work, but it’s a cool old plow truck.

This appears solid, though the paint job is unusual.
