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 letter by David Mann about why he was buying a new jeep was included in a 1948 book for salesman.
A very good letter on the ability of the JEEP with an experienced driver. The places where he drove the jeep in war-time reminded me where my dad served in WWII. Who knows maybe they knew each other! Thanks for posting the picture with the letter. I always laughed when I was young and my 16-18 year old friends who bought a 4×4 saying they will never get stuck. I always told them that with a 4×4 you will get stuck in more-inaccessible places! Still holds true today.
When you are stuck in a 2WD, you are stuck. When you are stuck in a 4WD, you are REALLY stuck!
Here’s a funny coincidence: I know a guy named David Mann. He takes pride in his stories about driving officers in an M-151 Mutt during peacetime, about 35 years ago. He recently asked me to help him find a CJ-5. I handed him several ads for local CJ-5’s just yesterday. I’ll give him this article tomorrow. He’ll get a kick out of it.
