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 September 13, 1958, article from the Toledo Blade told the story of four italians who drove what appears to be a WWII jeep a distance of 80,000 miles from Italy to Toledo. The men, all newspapermen, planned to drive another 15,000 miles back to Italy. What a trip! I wonder if their counterparts in 2013 knew of their countrymen’s adventure?
Nice “Press Release”, but 80,000 miles sounds like a bit of a STRETCH to me.
18 year old jeep in 58?? Article from Sept 58. Bantam hadn’t even delivered their jeep to Holabird yet! Hmmm?
Why does the New itilian navy havê glass bottomed boats?
SO, they can ser the old itilian navy
Maybe numbers wasn’t the article writer’s strong point? lol
Dave, don’t let the facts get in the way of a good newspaper story! 😉
Eighty thousand miles driven in 15 months averages out to 5,333 miles per month. I rode 41,000 miles on my motorcycle in 13 months (3,153 miles per month) from Alaska to America and back to Alaska (1983/84) on paved roads and my body was beat. My motorcycle was faster, dryer and required less maintenance than a WWII Jeep so I find this claim rather doubtful.
