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 .
The “MIL-GOVT” painted on the front of this jeep’s windshield was interesting. This is the American First Army near the Roer River.jpg
I’d think this was a movie, except that the identifying numbers on this GPW are taped over on the hood and windshield.
This photo shows General Bradley handing a gun to Major Konev
The second photo from top is interesting for several reasons. As Dave points out it looks like a scene from a bad 1950’s Sci-Fi movie. It’s not!! Although many folks might think its a secret photo from a clandestine Roswell New Mexico UFO recovery site. It’s not!!
In fact, it is a picture of a fire fighting crew at Coast Guard Station in Elizabeth City North Carolina.

If you look at the original photo you can read the words taped over the military hood numbers.
I think this emphasizes the multitude of uses that were found for surplus war jeeps. These war heroes continued to serve this country even in peace time. And they have continued to find themselves in plenty of movies both non-fiction and fiction. This has kept the image of a flat fender in popular culture and has led countless little boys to dream about someday owning one. Thank God for that, I guess I’ll be restoring jeeps for decades to come!!
