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 .
This National Archives photo was taken on Iwo Jima in February of 1945. The Original Caption read: Duck Row—Enroute to the front lines, a stretcher jeep travels a matting runway as it passes a pool of amphibious trucks near the beach at Iwo.

Nice photo of an ambulance jeep on Iwo Jima. The 43 GPW ambulance jeep I restored was also on Iwo Jima assigned to B company, 5 th Medical Bn, 27 Marines, 5 th Marine Division (original TAC markings discovered and preserved). The ambulance jeep I restored in now in possession of the National Museum of the Marine Corps, Triangle, VA.
The restoration process took over six years, most of which was spent in research and a year and half to restore the jeep.
The jeep is put on display each February in the Museum.
Once the new Iwo Jima display is completed in the Museum, the jeep will be part of the display.
Hi Frank,
Thanks for the note and congrats on completing the research necessary to do an accurate restoration!
I’m adding a link to the National Museum of the Marine Corps: https://www.usmcmuseum.com . Though the museum is currently closed for additional construction, there are docent led Youtube videos of the galleries: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkZe2aaafMsCsvgB5gsnxCsbh5A_dVOjX
