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 saw this one Facebook. I didn’t realize that the Sam Warner Military Museum in Tennessee had such an extensive collection of jeeps, including some airborne prototypes. I will make it a point to visit there during my May trip.
Nice1 Does anyone know what the Jeep with the scoop on the hood and sloping fenders is, and has for an engine? I like the look, and lots of leg room.
SteveK, the tag says “Kaiser”. I went to the museum website but haven’t find any more info, yet. I did see a pic from a different angle. Shortened up rear bed/area on that one.
Great find. Thanks for posting.
Steve,
That’s the Kaiser Jeeplet: https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2008/03/20/march-military-campaign-more-on-the-kaiser-lightweight/
Here is a breakdown of some of the lightweights:

Dave, you really need to visit the US Veterans Memorial Museum in Huntsville, Alabama too.

They have the only Ford Pygmy know to exist. And, the have a nice Willys MA, Bantam BRC-40, Ford GP, Ford GPA, etc.
Dave,
Yep, that one is high on my list. I plan to stop there, too.
I meant to get around to emailing you. My hope was that as part of my May trip to drop by and visit you during my swing through Georgia. Would you mind a visitor in late May?

WOW! Thanks for the additional info and links. What a variety of efforts of design to meet the needs. So much history not known, and thanks for bringing it out for all to learn from and enjoy. Good Work, Dave, as well as the shares of others too. Thanks!
We’d love to have you come by and see our vintage Jeeps.
Please let me know when your schedule firms up.
Looking forward to meeting you. Dave Logan
