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 .
UK paper the Nottingham Post reported on Joe Plater’s 100th Birthday this month. He’s the oldest known surviving “Desert Rat”. Looks like he can still pilot of a jeep, too.

John spotted this photo on this website from page 29 of the March 30, 1942, issue of Life Magazine. The article covered the Flying Tigers and features some great photos.
Here’s a copy of the magazine for sale on eBay
Craig spotted this rare jeep. I wish I had the extra nickels to compete for it. It includes four plastic bicycles, too.
“Up for auction is a very nice old unused Tour de France car with 4 bikes. It is in Original Box. The Jeep with the bikes is 5.25 inches long x 2.75 inches at the front fenders. The front of the windshield says Tour de France with 2 French flags. It is a very pretty mint green color This toy shows no signs of any use. The box and toy are in very good condition. The box shows 2 figures in the front seat, but it does not appear to have them, not that they are missing. There are no marks where they might have been. Ask questions and bid carefully. Paypal ships fastest. Thanks”

The body looks to be a replacement body.
