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 .
This is an unusual ad for National Dairy Products that tells the story of a jeep that was lashed to a submarine deck (engine and Motor inside the sub) and carried all over. Eventually, it was traded for to a crew on a destroyer for ice cream. True story? The answer is it is possible (see update on Monday).
This ad appeared in the June 26, 1944 issue of Life Magazine on page 52.

Think any saltwater got into the transmission?
Or transfercase or the front/rear ends. It would be great to track down the real details of this story.
Three gallons for an entire crew. I can’t help think of the problems that may have caused. Like searching for the lost strawberries.

B.S. Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary proof.
I don’t think the electrical components would last very long after being submerged in salt water.
I don’t know the age group here, and I’m certainly not here to lecture you. But my last comment seems to be oblivious, like maybe most are wondering about my incoherent comment. Many of you guys seem to have interest in military. I never read the book, but the movie is one of the best ever.
The movie has nothing to do with jeeps, but a gallon of strawberries. The Caine Mutiny.

Yep, I completely missed that one! But, I like it!
