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 .
Buz shared this Ocracoke Preservation Society photo. We were hoping to determine whether the hood has been repainted something shiny or whether it is bare metal.
Interesting that there is a Navy TCS radio set in the back of the jeep. What’s interesting is that it is in the stacked configuration as used on the PT Boats with the receiver, transmitter and the antenna tuner , the small box on top.
Paul,
Thanks for that insight. Maybe the group was communicating with boats offshore?

Yes they could be communicating with a boat or a land base station. The TCS operated on a freq range of 1.5 – 12 mcs both voice and cw which made it a very versatile set. The USMC had the Willys MZ-2 radio jeep that used the TCS but the radios where in waterproof chests and once off the beach landing the front covers could be removed to access the radios. I’m guessing the TCS set up in the jeep pictured was what was handy to use and so installed.
Did you post this pic? , if so thanks and where can I find it to post on a TCS radio collectors group with proper acknowledgement to where the photo came from. This is only the 2nd time I’ve seen a TCS installed in a jeep that was not the MZ-2
Thanks
Paul
