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 .
Another nice photo.

One more fantastic photo.
“Hi, and welcome! Thanks for stopping by. You are looking at a 5×7 photograph printed on FujiFilm Crystal Archive emulsion paper depicting three GI’s of the 9th Armored Division’s 656th Tank Destroyer Battalion catnapping in their jeep somewhere on the road to Holzengel, Germany on April 11, 1945. These guys must have been absolutely smoked from the fast, non-stop advance into the Reich to be able to rack out three abreast in a Jeep. Anyone who has ever sat in a Jeep knows that they were not built for comfort. :)”

“Our dear Grandma Dolores kept everything!
Here, as found in her home is a vintage photograph of a demolished jeep. There is no writing with the exception of the stamp on the back which reads:

It also faintly says “record” and “file”
Dolores’s husband was a US army photographer stationed in Tokyo, Japan during the Korean War. We will be listing many of the items and photographs he brought back, including photos he took while training.”
Charles forwarded some additional pictures from Belgium. Enjoy!

We hit our goal on Monday of seeing three car museums in Indiana and enjoying lunch with Steve at an old fashioned diner called Schoops. The downside was . . . when we tried to leave Indiana, we encountered road construction and blocked traffic (I-80 westbound was standstill). What should have taken an hour and a half took three hours. We went right to bed and just woke up a little bit ago. So, there will likely be no updates today.
However, I do have this neat photo Randy shared. The wagon below may have been one of several (exactly how many we haven’t determined) built by Kaiser for touring Hawaii. Note the four doors, extended bodies, and sun roofs. 
I tried to do some updates last night, but the internet wasn’t cooperating. For lack of any other reason, I’m going to blame the storm. I think I should be able to do some updates mid afternoon.
Here’s a pic from a Willys News paper that I spotted while visiting with Dave Antram yesterday (thanks Dave!). More on that visit later.

Marc spotted this photo at Flickr. Though it’s listed as a MB, the holes in the bumper suggest GPW to me.
