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 .

Is it a CJ-3B? Or a Mitsubishi? The front of the fender looks later than the standard 3B fender.

This postcard demonstrates the use of a jeep on a gunnery school target range in 1943. Here’s the view of an actual target practice jeep being setup.
Maury shared information about this: “If you haven’t seen one of these setups before, this was a “jeep range” to train air crew gunners. The idea was evidently to set up a remote-controlled jeep** with wood posts bolted to it. A heavy cloth target was attached to the posts, and the jeep ran behind an earth berm to protect it, at least somewhat, from the gunfire from the truck-mounted turrets beyond.
Evidently the bullets for each turret were painted with different colored dyes. A bit of the dye would come off on the target when the bullets passed through it, allowing the instructors to tell which guns were actually hitting it.
**I’m not sure how the remote-control was accomplished, but maybe someone else knows (…..and if it wasn’t remote-controlled, that was sure one ballsy driver!!)”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
There are eleven postcards in this set. Only two were of jeeps. One is a great shot of a Ford GP.
“This lot contains 11 military (Army) vintage unused postcards some from Pine Camp NY, some from Fort Knox KY and 2 others are illustrations not colored photos and no location is noted. They were made by 2 different companies Genuine Curteich – Chicago Il and Santway Photo-Craft Company, Watertown NY. While unused most backs show soilage and most paper cards have creases. It seems that the linen cards resisted creasing but was not altogether immune. All have white borders and the fronts of the postcards show very little soilage.
I am not a postcard collector so see scans of fronts and make your own grading determination. I am not a professional grader just an avid collector selling off a 30 year collection so watch for my other auctions. I will describe the items as well and as accurately as I can and have tried to make my scans clear and show the whole item so that there will be no hidden surprises.”
