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.
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 .
Ann’s mom Rosemary has learned to watch for jeeps. She alerted me a couple days ago to a movie she recorded with Spencer Tracy from 1955 called Bad Day at Black Rock. It’s a good movie. One of the reasons it is such a good movie is that a good looking Willys MB plays a staring role and receives some good screen time. It even gets to be involved in a chase scene! Here are some closeups:
Yes, Spencer Tracy tearing around in an MB, that was some action scene. By the way, next time you watch White Christmas notice the military jeep in a war scene near the beginning, then you’ll see another one later (or it might be the same one) that the retired general drives, implying he got himself a war surplus jeep.
I’ve got a girlfriend that is learning to watch for Jeeps and odd vehicles too.
…back in the days when the movies had a good story, and the actors could act, and the filming was terrific.
I have several good friends that can now spot a Willys a mile away, some even tell me when they’re for sale. We are such bad influences on people sometimes. Good on us!
I watched the trailer, sounds like a good movie. Nothing like vintage trains and automobiles. What’s he doing, looking for a parts car in that old ghost town? I hope Spencer Tracy doesn’t end up rolling that MB. I’d prefer a happy ending.
