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 .
Who thought this postcard idea was a good one? And, I’m not sure the message on the back is any better!

These two photos for sale on eBay show a pretty fancy jeep! It’s got shiny, new looking mud flaps. And, the hardtop is particularly interesting. I can’t tell what it’s made from … fiberglass? metal? wood? other?

Bob took some photos of this beautiful GP the weekend.
“Saw this nice ford gp at the ragersville, Ohio car and power show today. Guy has owned it for 30 years. It came out of Colorado. Still has the right engine and drivetrain. Nicely restored by the owner.”
This 1990 Dr. Pepper can features a Jeep Wrangler giveaway. I know’s it not super vintage, but I thought it was interesting.

Doug picked up this CJ-6 recently. As you can see, this is an example of a jeep that was nicer than the pics taken by the seller. It’s a really good looking jeep, especially with those hurricane rims 🙂
These are the new pics. Doug was able to get some good cloudy-day photos that helped show just how nice the paint is.

Old photos: Between the shadows and the lack of closeups, it’s hard to tell just how nice the paint really is.
Starting in 1942 Dell Publishing issued an annual christmas comic book titled “Santa Claus Funnies”. The very first issue featured Santa driving a jeep. The series ran until 1962. Here’s a link to check on the most recent Santa Claus Funnies available on eBay.
You can learn more about Santa Claus Funnies from the Golden Age of Comics website. 
In a comment from the post about the FC-150 review by Tom McCahill, Mike remembered seeing McCahill’s review about the Jeep Wagoneer. It didn’t take me long to find a cheap copy of the May 1966 issue (pg 87) that featured the surprisingly enthusiastic review of the Jeep.
Looking for something else, I ran across this christmas card.

This is a cool postcard. I wonder if it was based on a painting?

A jeep on a tea spoon? I would never haver guess that would happen. It’s located in the Netherlands.
Vito from Italy has fond memories of jeeping with his father back in the early 1980s. Here’s a photo of his father at the helm of his CJ-5. Check out the tires. Yes, some Desert Dogs made it all the way to Italy. In fact, Vito is hunting for a set for a vintage build he’s creating. He’s got another Italian friend who has some old vintage dogs as well. I had no idea!
Anyone know if this jeep is still there? This photo came from this page (though I removed the kids). The photo was take at Omaha Nebraska’s Henry Doorly Zoo.
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
I’m sure this photo wasn’t posed … lol.
“1942- Mia Hodge, better know as Mia Macklin, British Olympic ice skater, sits atop jeep surrounded by U.S. mechanics after she delivered the jeep to their repair station “somewhere” in England.”
Paul found this link to Larry Shank’s story of camping with a CJ-3B and teardrop trailer in the southwest on Petrolicious. Nice story and great photos. You might remember his story from the CJ-3B Page.
