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 didn’t know this early Belly Flopper was still around. It’s housed at the National Infantry Museum and Soldiers Center in Columbus, Georgia.
Read more about it at Foxtrot Alpha
This great photo was taken as part of Dick ‘n Debbie’s Travels.
I’m sorry, but the description says front drive, both the photos and the mechanical drawing shows a chain driving the rear wheels from a mid located differential with axle stubs to cogs. If there is a shaft to the front axle I don’t see it. This might have beat out the jeep had they put a suspension under it and normal seating and controls. Basically it would have been a VW with a water cooled power plant
That is nothing, I have been at Mt Rushmore museum and learned the declaration of Independence says “pursuit of life, liberty and social justice.”
Didn’t know this still existed. Restoration still has the same creases as the photo.
A real emphasis on the low profile concept. was carried over some to the jeep but other than in shipping, I don’t remember seeing many jeeps in the war with the windshield laid down?
Bill,I see the same as you in those drawings and in the pics.,a differential ahead of the rear wheels with a chain driving the rear wheels.
Here is the patent which shows 6 wheels?

The information on the patent mentions “forward extending driveshaft” which some may have interpreted as front wheel drive?
Must have been a real crazy thing to drive – now we see where the gas peddle is – between the clutch and brake. Image laying on your stomach working pedals, this bad enough, but to have them not in the same order that a driver was used to
