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 .

Unfortunately, the seller didn’t provide the entire photo in one shot. It felt like it was raining like that on Saturday on Long Island!

The weekend is over and Kasia has returned to her ‘peeps’ at Fema Corps. On Saturday we braved the wind and rains for a trip to Roosevelt Field Mall. We did some shopping, then saw a movie (Interstellar – both liked it), and finally returned to Sea Cliff where we spent several hours talking. It was great!
Sunday morning we drove to the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City, NY. On the plus side there were some great interactive exhibits, some interesting photos and stories. and, of course, lots of airplanes. I also even found an MB that was being used as a gift-shop display prop, though the jeep looked mostly complete.
On the down side we were approached by an exuberant docent ready to share all the information he could about Charles Lindberg, the museum and more (and more and more and … well, you get the picture). And, he did have some interesting tidbits and stories, but after a while he was just too much. Several times we thanked him for his help, turned and walked away, but then the guy would follow us and start up again! Finally, we just started walking away and he gave up.
Here’s some pics from the museum starting with two more of the jeep:

Alex from Tahiti has one spoiled dog. Look at his morning walk!
You’d think any car that can get to 60MPH in less than ten seconds couldn’t be a Willys. But, Paul discovered that the new Willys AW 380 Berlinetta can do that and more! It’s reminiscent of the Interlagos, which I got a chance to check out this past spring thanks to Dan.

“This is 1942 GPW world war 2 jeep. It has been painted and worked on so it is not completely original.
It runs good and has great interior on the front and back seats.
We are also unable to read the odometer so we have not listed the odometer reading.
Definitely a collectors item for those interested.”
