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 .

The August 03, 1942, issue of Life Magazine has an article about Transport Planes. The article includes photos of some GPWs. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t want to be wedged in there next to the jeep during a bumpy flight!
You can see the entire article at Google Books
There is a copy of this issue on eBay as well.
I don’t spend much time on Pinterest, but Marc shared a couple links to Pinterest sites with a variety of photos. Most we’ve seen, but there are a few interesting ones there, too.

Roberto posted this interesting photo on Facebook that he found on ImageShack. Someone suggested this was a test photo from Aberdeen, but I haven’t seen any verification for it. The image looks like it might be from a video. Anyone recognize it?

How about this cool photo.

Roberto spotted this collection of photos taken during/after the WWII. The photos are worth combing through. There are a few, but not many, jeep photos.

Gary shot this photo of his jeep and boat. He says it really helps to have the jeep for putting the boat into tight, uneven locations on small lakes, like the one below at Binnewater Lake in Rosendale, NY. Looks like a beautiful day for sailing.
Charles says this photo shows soviet soldiers beside the jeep of Canadian front reporter Richter on the May 7th, 1945.
These two photos were part of a 23 photo collection in a Feral Irishman’s blog post. Some of the photos we’ve seen, but several I hadn’t.

All I have to say is, brrrrrr.
Jim wrote, “These are three prints from some old negatives which show my Dad driving out to feed hay to the livestock. My brother John is in the back of the jeep and my brother Ed is on the hay loaded in the trailer. The photos were taken at my parents’ farm in Halltown MO in winter of 1969 or 1970. Now you know why John and Ed live in Florida.”
Charles forwarded these photos.
Here’s another great Baltimore Sun Archive photo that Marc found. It shows a jeep named Kitty traveling through a canal in England during the winter.
