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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .

Looks like the ones in front are GPWs.
“1942- U.S. Coast Guardsmen, equipped with armed jeeps to protect war supplies from enemy sabotage, are shown getting their orders at a East Coast port before they start their patrol. Coast Guard jeeps are marked on their hoods with “USCG” above the registration number. The registration numbers start with “SC”. The first jeep is marked “SC 156”, the middle jeep is marked as “SC 164” and the jeep on the right is marked as “SC 133″”

This photo must have been published in 1982, hence the late date?

The first 25,808 Willys MBs used a welded steel grille very similar to the Ford GP design, and there were a host of other differences from the later Willys. These early MBs had “Willys” embossed in the back panel. In production, the slat-grilles were given running changes until they finally evolved into the standard stamped-grille MB we know and love. Around 200 slat-grilles are estimated to survive today.

(11/11/2015) Dan spotted this nice looking truck.
“This 1961 Willys L6-226 Pickup has lived its entire life in Northern California. It has just finishing a restoration started in 2013.
The truck has had every system gone through, after being disassembled to a bare frame, blasted, and its chassis painted. The frame is free of bends, cracks, and rot, as it lead a life of mild use in a dry climate, and sits on 4 new Willys America/ Betts Spring, San Leandro, Ca. made leaf springs. It’s brake system has all new pads, springs, fully replaced brake lines, both rubber and steel, and new cylinders. It rides on original Jeep 16 inch truck rims that have been powder coated in factory Glacier White, and wrapped with brand new 750-16 Hercules HDT biased ply traction tires.
