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 .
“Worn Rusty Hubbs” has a removable lower FC Fan shroud to make it easier to work on the engine. He thought folks might like to see some pics. Thanks for taking the time to shoot the photos Rusty!
Here the shroud is attached.
This shows one set of tabs used to attach the shroud.
This shows another set.
This shows the shroud removed from the jeep.
This old photo is interesting. I think that’s a newer Hotchkiss in the front with an older jeep (Hotchkiss?) in the rear.
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
Marc found this Paul Revere based ad with a jeep.
I’m surprised there’s no date stamp along with the description.
“This Fine Photo features American Jeeps as they pass over a US PONTOON BRIDGE in the New Guinea Jungle during WORLD WAR II, the troops are loaded with military supplies as they advance toward their ALLIES to aid against the fight with the JAPANESE.”

Cool old pedal jeep. I’m not sure what type. The price seems a bit over the top given the seller can’t identify it either.

From left to right Alan, Me and Joe and Joe’s jeeps. Alan also owns a few jeeps, including a Surrey he’s been restoring. He too can blame his father for his Willys sickness.
On Thursday morning we woke up to silence. The room at the Murray was amazingly peaceful. There’s no constant hum of a nearby highway, no air condition churning noisily, just relaxing quiet. For that reason alone we liked our stay in Silver City. But, as all good things must end, we said goodbye and hit the road for a ‘blue highways’ journey through New Mexico and Phoenix.
Before we left Silver City, we wanted to take a couple photos of the former Main Street. You can see the enormity of the damage from a storm that happened in the 1880s. There has been some discussion of filling in the area, but the importance of the event in the town’s history seems to win over any discussions of change.
Former Main Street of Silver City. Now a giant gully that still fills with water during the rainy season.
An example of the tall side walks that help direct the water down the street during heavy rains.
UPDATE: **status Unknown** Was $20,000.

“Up for sale is my 1942 Willys MB Jeep. These WWII Jeeps are gaining in popularity and have become one of the “the must buy” affordable collector vehicles.

– Head gasket
– Head studs

“bought this Jeep in a rust pile at the Creston auction in 2005. It has had a complete ground up rebuild. NO BONDO! All rust was cut out and replaced with steel! Only 1000 miles since. This Jeep most likely came off of the Malmstrom AFB and was an early 50s off-roader. When I got it, it had an “F-head” Jeep Hurricane motor and had been converted to Saginaw power steering. I wanted to retain both the military and off-road histories. So… It still has the “F-head” motor and P/S plus I converted it to 12V and added a full range overdrive making it capable of 60-65 MPH at 2000 RPMs and a real pleasure to drive. I tracked down the correct hood numbers and returned it to the original OD Green paint. Between the seats sits a 50mm ammo can that houses 2 10″ subwoofers, tweeters and an Alpine amp that can be connected to your iPod, smart phone, ect (sweet, sweet sound) plus a 12V power point. Must been seen to be appreciated – $6000 or Will consider partial or full trade for a camp trailer/5th wheel trailer”
