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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $26,500.

“This jeep is a ground-up restoration with great attention given to detail and authenticity.”
Wrong main light switch. Should have push-pull type. Other than that, a very nice clean GPW.
Very nice jeep – that said, I have to wonder how many jeeps have the same markings; it seems like since the making of Saving Private Ryan, every other jeep you see is marked 101 airborne, 501 parachute infantry….just sayin…
Chris … that’s one reason I try to collect old images with other kinds of markings. I figured a few people might want to give their MB/GPWs a little different look by creating authentic signal corps, the mp jeeps (with their colorful designs) or other specific-duty jeep reproductions.
Dave, I didn’t know you have bumper marking images!!! I finally decided on a representative (correct-ish) hood number, but I’m stumped on good bumper/bumperette markings. I’d like something with “EN” in it. I served with the 39 EN BN, 9 EN BN, and VII Corps, and even COE. Oh, and 1CAV kept me alive in Iraq both times, so I’d like to recognize them on the tan MB/CJ2A, if not the 42 GPW.
So, when do you get here to the Valley of the Sun?
We arrive in Tucson late on March 14th. We have an early morning tour on the 15th at an ASARCO mine. We don’t have specific plans other than that tour at this moment.
I completely agree with the bumper markings comments. I’ve just about finished my GPW resto and haven’t quite decided on what to paint on the bumpers. Until I find something unique, preferably with some significance to my family, I plan to leave the bumpers OD without markings. As much as I enjoy 101st and 82nd A/B history, I don’t want my jeep looking the same as so many others out there!
About the bumper markings, yes I’ve seen tons of 82, 101, 506, AB. Buuut My grandfather served with 2nd armored, AND was an airborne MP with the 101st, 13th and 17th AB DIV. Sooo when I get my Jeep I have some choices. They might be the same markings as others, but will actually be a true tribute, not just some letters.
