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 .

I REALLY like this restoration… saving a WWII vet’s jeep is such an honor. I wish you guys were in Arizona (for consultation/help). Although I do get to Aberdeen Proving Grounds every other month or so. Have any events coming up?
WOW, Joe is lucky to be ALIVE! There are not too many wardogs left from that great war. They are and were a special lot. It is absolutely great to see this jeep helped out by these two even greater fellows. Joe, you be careful now. You made it through the war, you made it through this, you are the MAN.
An update, sadly Joe passed away last month at the age of 93. He fought cancer for 7 years and his family created little old man heaven for him at their place in Maryland including a game room filled with his trophies, war bring backs and more. His grandson is taking on ownership of his Jeep which makes me very happy. I have a blogpost about him and his Jeep here: http://hansonmechanical.wordpress.com/2012/06/01/the-meaning-of-memorial-day/
I was honored to be his friend and mechanic.
In answer to Joe I am about 45 minutes from Aberdeen in Westminster MD. When in Maryland feel free to visit. You can contact me through the email on my website.
all the best,
