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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here are a few pages from this brochure from Kelly All Steel Cabs.
Some photos looked staged, others look really staged. I’d say this is the latter.

Kurtis spotted this article from the July 20th, 1942, issue of Life Magazine. Some of the pictures are familiar, but this is the first time I’ve seen this entire article. The article extends 7 pages and can be viewed in its entirety online.

Here are the first and last pages:
I’m not sure just how many jeeps are in this. I’m guessing not many.

Rob was waiting for family in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, while on vacation when he spotted this nice looking truck.
He writes, “I went out into the parking lot to see if I could find some old Jeeps and there it was in the parking lot , nice looking truck. Did not find the owner. Hope the pictures turned out. Rob.”

Bruce was wondering if anyone collected these? He received them with something else and has no use for them. Just comment down below and I’ll hook you up with him.
It is 6pm Pacific Standard Time, which means Ann and I should be married by now. As dedicated as I am, I’m not running to my computer to upload pictures of our brief ceremony. So, these couple of shots will have to do.
Here’s a Willys MA all decked out:

Here’s an odd cover for a kid’s coloring book. Those cats(?) look rather evil.
“You are bidding on a vintage Jeepers coloring book from the 1940s. Features a Willys Jeep on the front and back color. Some pages are colored. In good shape, considering. Would look cool framed! It’s a Jeep thing…”
With the hot, humid Missouri weather melting him, Craig decided that thinking about jeeping in the Colorado mountains was a perfect diversion. He forwarded some pics and videos so we could join his diversion.
UPDATE: This was on eBay in 2012.
I suspect there are a few Garwood converted Willys Trucks still out there.
Last weekend Steve and his wife Bonnie dropped by the Owl Head Truck Show in Maine. Bonnie took some pictures for us. Thanks for sharing!
Here’s a great old service station jeep:
Here’s a restored MB (?):
It appears this might be an article about creating or purchasing stainless body parts.

I’ll be taking the next there days off from posting to complete this whole wedding gig 🙂 We’ll have family and friends here, too, so it will be pretty busy!
However, I do have a variety of posts that I’ve prepared that will appear each day, so you all won’t have to go without any updates. Some are items that readers have sent and others are items I’ve found. So, enjoy your weekend!
There will be seven concept jeeps at this year’s Bantam Festival.
