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 .
This article shares some of the jeep rustling that went on during WWII. One of protections against rustling that I’ve encountered is that driver’s would grab the rotor from the distributor to keep other military folks from stealing their jeeps.
Note that the ice cream story from yesterday has expanded to five gallons!
Yesterday I featured an ad that related a story about jeeps lashed to the decks of Submarines.
This article was published in the February 10, 1944 issue of the Eugene Register Guard:
I found this article on page 5 of the January 10, 1944, edition of the Southeast Missourian Newspaper:
And from page 2 of the February 10, 1944, issue of the Spokane Daily Chronicle: 
And, on a note of trivia, I found this gem at an archived site:
In World War II, Burton Baskin of Baskin Robbins fame, was a quartermaster who began his ice cream career by trading a jeep for an ice cream freezer
Now, I don’t know if that’s true as I couldn’t verify it anywhere else, but a fun fact if true.
This is an unusual piece. Looks like a CJ-5 design.
“This is a lapel pin for the Jim Beam Collector clubs. This one is “Jeep City” the image is a vintage Jeep for the design.”

The hardtop on this looks unusually tall, but the solider looks pretty tall as well. This includes a good shot of the front mud flaps.

The date on this photo is January 1950. If so, these guys are part of the fight against China rather than Japan. Therefore this is more likely a WWII photo.
“KACHIN TRIBESMEN OF NORTH BURMA AID ALLIES IN WAR AGAINST THE JAPANESE”
Jeep drivers pause at an overnight shelter during a long run through a Japanese-held jungle. Kachin forces use airplanes, jeeps, mules and elephant to negotiate the remote jungle trails in their relentless stalking of the Japanese.”

It’s got a few issues, but runs and drives.
“I have for sale a 1982 AMG Jeep DJ 5. It is right hand drive and has large, sliding doors — making it perfect for use as an icecream truck or something like that. It is also just a cool car in general. Definitely unique, definitely turns heads on the street (and that was before the paint job!). It runs well and is really fun to drive. However, it does have a couple issues too: the electronics are funky. The lights and gauges work off-and-on. I also only have the keys for ignition and driver-side door. The engine was rebuilt a few years ago and is still in very good shape.
I will also be including with the car a set of four studded tires (good condition) and (if you want it) a collection of misc parts and equipment for the car.”
