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 .
**SOLD** Were $50.
These look in good shape with good tread. Someone out there on the east coast was looking for these. If they weren’t so far away, I’d snap these up. These are the newer, old dogs. You can tell by the outlined letters. Earlier dogs had solid letters.
“I have for sale a nice pair of Formula Desert Dog 10-15LT tires. Real good tread left, I had them on the back of my buggy and they dug nice and stayed clean. One is on a volkswagen 4 bolt rim. Asking $50 for the pair.
For reasons only the Our Gang 4Wheeler folks know, they prefer their racing chilled, literally on ice. It appears to be a family fun affair with a season that varies with the thickness of ice.
Our Gang 4 Wheelers is an ice racing club whose volunteers have been organizing ice races in Colorado for 34 years. You’ll find them out on Georgetown Lake in the beautiful Rocky Mountains in Colorado. Their season spans 6 weekends through January and February.
For those of you who want to try this sport, but don’t have tires, it appears they’ll rent you some. You’ll have to check out their website to learn more.
There’s many more videos and pictures here: http://www.ourgangiceracing.com/Media.html

A reader named Mike asked me to post this.
“I have a completely rebuilt a CJ-2A starter. It has a new bendix. The guts have all been cleaned and turned. The bushings and brushes have been cleaned. I even have the new bushing that goes in the bellhousing. Its a 6 volt starter. It came out of a 1947 CJ-2A. I put a 12 volt starter in and so do not need it anymore. I invested 150 dollars, so want to get 100 dollars for it. It’s in excellent condition.”
UPDATE: Simon called the seller and discovered the tub is civilian.
It’s got some side rust and needs some drive train.

This looks like a great price on a Bantam Trailer. I’ve seen them priced much higher.
“These are highly collectible. This is an excellent little Trailer. Length is 6 ft. It tows nicely. I believe this to be a Bantam TC-3 (civilian). These are commonly called Jeep trailers. It has a clear Title. It works great as a Utility Trailer or pull it behind your Jeep for Jeeping.
Call me with questions, Fred (253) 381-4247”
