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 .
This photo dated 11/12/1953 shows oil tycoon Glenn McCarthy, also known as ‘Diamond Jim’, aboard a CJ-3B. The CJ-3B sits atop some type of rail(?) car.

“This is an original press photo. Glenn McCarthy, Houston Oilman aboard a military jeep. Photo measures 10 x 8.25inches. Photo is dated 11-12-1953.”
Jeep-powered (PTO) Rail Car! Quite an evolution from the Kalamzoo MB engine powered 8 man railway car of WW2. With the Houston venue (my hometown – Gig’em Aggies!), wonder if this was a Koenig Iron Works invention, perhaps for work in McCarthy’s oil fields. Koenig had a large catalogue of accessories for Jeep Vehicles including tops, winches, etc. The ideas for the Jeep never end do they.
