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 .
It’s got a variety of updates.

It runs.
“This is a 1959 Willy’s Wagon 4×4 with Over-drive and a V-6 engine that starts and runs. I wouldn’t call it road ready, it needs tires, rear springs re-arched or replaced and brake work but wouldn’t take much to make it work. The drivers side floor does have some rust. I don’t know much more about it since I got is as part of a boat deal and thought I would re-chassis it since it all seems there. I felt too guilty to tear it apart after getting a restoration book so it needs to go. It is 4×4, has over-drive, all the chrome, trim/bumpers and the glass are in pretty good shape and the oak strips in the back look good too. I’m not trying to sell something its not, it is what it is and would be a fun project. Call or email me if you want any more information or pictures of something specific. The title is clear and good. I’ll even throw in the restoration book too if you want it! (9 two 8) 3 zero zero-3 9 five six.”

UPDATE: Dan forwarded a pic of his yoke. Despite grounding the sm420 rib, the yoke still won’t make it by the tranny while spinning.
For the last year, Dan has invited me up to take a look at his project: the rebuilding of his grandfather’s jeep. Well, I finally got a chance to drop by his remote Deer Park, Washington, home.
As soon as I arrived, my gracious host gave me the cold beer he had promised, a very tasty bottle of Red Hook. Soon after, his four kids wandered in the garage to see what kind of strange guy would drive all the way to Deer Park to look at a jeep and talk with dad. Clearly unimpressed, they dashed back into the endless , densely treed property like baseball players from the movie Field of Dreams.
Meanwhile, Dan and I looked over his jeep and we talked about various issues he circumvented. He said his goal was to build something functional that he wouldn’t be afraid to scratch and dent, so he didn’t sink much time or money into the body. For example, the rust in the bottom of the body was repaired with some fiberglass and steel from the old body sitting across the driveway. It was nothing fancy, but sound. He was concerned it might not be nice enough, but I told him the most important thing is that it satisfied his goals, was solid, and got him closer to exploring backroads.
We also talked about his sm420 tranny. His yoke is hitting the side of the tranny, despite the grinding he has done (I should have gotten a pic of that). He’s hoping he can find the slightly smaller V6 yoke. Does anyone have one of those?
While we talked, his wife dropped by to say hello. We chatted a bit and then she dashed off to finish supper. Dan noted that he convinced his wife he needed a new garage to work on the jeep by parking his jeep inside the existing garage. That seemed to work, so he built a new shop around the jeep project just down the driveway. It’s a fine man cave, clean, organized, with plenty of light.
I asked Dan to take my picture with his jeep and he kindly obliged. After which, I left his piece of paradise to head south so I could hang out with my cousin and explore family history. So, many thanks to Dan for a pleasant time. It was worth the drive!
Here’s yours truly.
I spotted this great shot from Quadratecforum.com.
According to the post, his is a sand Jeep. It was the annual Mt. Baldy hill climb Spring 09. (Silver Lake State Park.) This thing was wicked. Easily won the class. He could stand it up at will and ride it as long as he wanted. Frickin awesome!”
