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 .
I happened across these Bantam/Checker BRC-40 photos on Flickr. Note the ‘Checker’ gauge in the dash.
You can view al the photos on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/fraik/7786283534/in/set-72157631075876678/ Below are a couple:
Dan spotted this Flickr thread that shows old photos from the Hemet Jeep Club. There are also multiple photos of a great looking CJ-5 with an unusual bumper setup. You might remember these great LIfe Magazine photos from a 1949 Hemet Jeep Club Anza Calvacade.
Here is a link to view the old photos Dan found (you have to browse between the photos to see all the old jeep pics). I’ve copied a few of the photos to share below:

I’m not sure where this was taken, but it is so rare to find one of these jeep ambulances still around. If I have ever listed on for sale, I don’t remember it.

Doug had some more (over a thousand) photos digitized from a variety of southeast Asian places from the 50s and 60s and 70s. They were taken by a man who was in the Navy and seems to have traveled or lived all over. Doug has posted over a thousand pictures on Flickr. There are both location photos and photos of business cards, which I found interesting.
See all of them here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/58451159@N00/
Here are a few closeups of photos with jeeps:
1968 outside the Mexico Club (Original Photo)
1968 Subic, Philippines (Original Photo)
United Bar outside and inside of folding business card (Original Outside and Inside)
1969 Bangkok, M-606 (Original Photo)
You might remember this photo that was posted on eWillys in early November. The movie playing at the theatre was “Destination Vietnam”. 1968 Subic Bay, Philippines (Original Photo)
Roberto spotted this collection of photos taken during/after the WWII. The photos are worth combing through. There are a few, but not many, jeep photos.

Below are some Flickr photos of rusty jeeps.
How about these rusty jeeps! You can see the original here on Flickr. It appears this jeep junkyard is in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, but I can’t swear to it. The photo was taken this past June.
Here’a rusty CJ-6(?) out of Turkey on Flickr.
No indication where this FC was located.
How about this rusty Tonka Jeep from Flickr.
This is from the MASH outdoor set in California. You can see a couple videos here. We HOPE to do a California trip during March on our way to Phoenix. This location is on my list. You can view the original photo on Flickr.
Marc spotted this series of a 130 jeeps. This is part of a collection of photos detailing all kinds of WWI and WWII vehicles, armor and more.

John forwarded a link to the Air and Military Museum of the Ozarks in Springfield, MO. The site includes a reference to the restoration of a Coast Guard Jeep.
I found this picture of the jeep on Flickr. Most of it is MB, but unclear why the civilian grille was added. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dustinholmes/4872679542/lightbox/

Marc uncovered these two Fire Jeep Photos

2) This photo was in the Allen County Community LIbrary.

Mark forwarded a linke to Carhenge, an outdoor sculpture just outside Alliance, Nebraska. It turns out a Willys Truck was one of the vehicles used to create it. If we have time, we’ll stop by here and check it out on our way back from the East Coast.
There are a variety of pictures of Carhenge on Flickr. Below is part of one.
I found this picture on Flickr. That’s a long line of jeeps.
