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 .
Somebody needs these.

Here’s a dual PTO CJ-2A in good shape. I can’t imagine this will last long.
“This antique Jeep is really unusual. It has two PTOs and a handle under the driver’s side of the car that engages either PTO. I don’t know how to operate it, but it is all there. It runs perfectly and looks good. The roughest part is rust around the windshield frame. In the photo of the engine, there is an upper cylinder lubricating system that can be seen in the upper right hand corner of the photo. It also has a roll bar and seat belts. Included in the price is an aluminum top with aluminum doors.”
I had planned to do some posts, but I decided to sleep instead. So, until I get to the rest of the posts (which might not appear until monday), enjoy this great old ‘jeeping’ video forwarded by Colin.
Tom was wondering if anyone knows what the proper markings for a CJ-3A APU Navy Jeep might be? He’s been restoring a Modified by O.E.Szekely & Assoc jeep, but can’t find any information on the markings. I didn’t have any luck either.
This page show some markings on the APU jeep on the bottom, but are those correct? My understanding is that the vehicles were purchased by the Navy. I’m unclear how many were used by the Marine Corps: http://www.ewillys.com/2013/03/25/the-o-e-szekely-apu-navy-jeeps/
