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 .
John also stopped by the MacArthur Memorial Museum in Norfolk, VA. The Willys MB shown in the pics below was donated by Chrysler (along with $100,000) and is supposed to be fully restored. There’s no indication that MacArthur used or drove in this jeep.
Nice jeep but springs are arced to high. You can see by the distance between wheel wells, fenders and wheels.
THATS TRUE — PROBABLY THOSE CRAP RANCHO SPRINGS I HAVE ON MY 1948 MODEL 4WD — PUT THEM ON THE FRONT IN 1974 — THEY STILL HAVENT FLATTENED OUT — GO ACROSS RAILROAD TRACKS — LOSE YOUR TEETH …
Sitting on jack stands. It that common?
I haven’t seen it very often. I’m sure it keeps the springs in better shape, especially if they are thinking long range, such as 40-50 years??
Some of the museums here put jack stands under the axles, never seen them under the frame. That’s why the springs looked over arched. They’re fully extended.
Curator at one museum told me they do that to prevent the tires from cracking. Not sure if that works or not.
Wonder if that was the MB that was in the Chrysler museum.
