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 article out of Germany includes over forty photos of restored MBs and GPWs. They all gathered at Tegernsee. http://www.merkur.de/lokales/region-tegernsee/gmund-ort65533/willys-tegernsee-oldtimer-treffen-alten-jeeps-5507644.html
Looks like several nicely restored military jeeps, but no kubelwagens.
Looks like the SAS jeep in the initial photo is a Hotchkis. But a nice re-creation.
Dave, tell us novices what indicates the jeep is a Hotchkis, Thanks
There are a few things that look Hotchkis to me. The body tub does not appear to have the notch cut out in the instrument panel and it looks like the driver’s side interior body cowl pillar has a sharp bend, rather than the curve that a mb or gpw has.
Here’s a website that photo documents the differences. (I hope it’s OK to post here, Dave.) Take a look about half way down page 2 of the site for the photos of the cowl pillar.

Hello Steve, Dave and Mark,
first of all let me thank you for mentioning us on your site!
I initiated this exclusive Jeep-meeting here in Tegernsee, starting in 2012.
It’s all about the 1941-1945 Willys MBs, Ford GPWs and (as they almost look the same) Hotchkiss M201.
That’s why you don’t get Kuebelwagen a.e.
You’re absolutely right: The SAS is a Hotchkiss!
Maybe you want to have a look on the site again. In the meantime you can find some more great pictures. http://www.willys-am-tegernsee.de
The next meeting will be on July 2nd.
Let’s keep’em rolling!
