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 .
Thanks to Charles for sharing these.

Something odd about the rear end of the jeep in the 3rd pic
I think 3rd pic is a Bantam BRC-40 (Mk 2)
Bill, I noticed that as well.Looks like some type of box has been attatched to the back panel.
Dinant. Same town where the Germans in May of 1940 threw the French Forces aside on their conquest of western Europe. Different story and outcome four years later.
This is the Google peg-man view from the location of the 2nd photo:

It was likely made from an upper floor of the building on the corner:

For more about Foy, Belgium and the Battle of the Bulge, see Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foy,_Belgium
In World War II, Foy was heavily occupied by German forces during the Battle of the Bulge. The American 101st Airborne Division held the Bois Jacques just outside town. After being relieved by George S. Patton’s Third Army, the 101st retook the town. The assault, spearheaded by Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th PIR, was depicted in the HBO mini-series Band of Brothers.
About that rear end of the Jeep, I agree that it ia a storage box attached to the rear pannel.
Bill and Jay, I think you guys are right, probably time for me to upgrade my computer monitor!
