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 thought the rear-most (back) reflectors go adjacent to the rear marker/lights…?
newbie learning as I go here, but is the resin steering wheel CJ? or did MB/GPWs ever have that?
I don’t have the exact dates offhand, but early MBs and GPWs had black plastic steering wheels Manufactured by Sheller, then the green version, and then the spoke version (thanks to Brian for correcting me below). Here’s an example of repairing an old Sheller steering wheel: http://g503.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=252577
The CJs used the black steering wheel (made my Sheller??)
So much to know, lol…and exactly why I lurk here 🙂 (thank you!)
MB
Right!??! I’m still learning!!!
They had the solid black steering wheel til around march 42, then a solid green one until around mid Feb. of 43 then the metal spoke one.
I knew you’d know the answer to this Brian. Did Sheller make the metal spoke one as well?
my education continues, gentlemen… it’s greatly appreciated.
I’m not real sure on that Dave. Haven’t found much information on those.
