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 .

Steve found this cool photo. It shows Milwaukee Brewer outfielder Johnny Price putting on a pre-game exhibition of catching balls using a jeep. The local dealer, Laurel C. Worman, arranged the event.

I wonder who “Pat” was and whether she was impressed with the jeep’s name? Looks like the photo was taken in December of 1943.

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?

UPDATE: Steve let me know that the US Border Patrol Museum has an updated website with more photos. Below are a few historical photos. You can view more historical photos (with cars, jeeps, horses and more) here.
ORIGINAL POST 07/27/2012:
1. A cold day for guarding the boarder.
2. Border Patrol Inspector observing sign of possible illegal border crossers encountered while on Jeep patrol duty near Del Rio, Texas – March 9, 1956:
3. High lookout point overlooking the Rio Grande River, June 29, 1961. [Location is still used to overlook Rio Grande River.]
This is the CJ-2A displayed in the Museum. It looks a little green in this picture, but it’s actually more gray in person.
That’s a lot of kids in the jeep!
“This is a Type I Original News Press Wire Service Photograph. Size is 9″ x 7″.”
