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 .

Steve spotted this great article about a jeep owner who decided to build a teardrop trailer for his rig. Alan Johnson wrote the article as part of the premiere issue of Cool Tears and Tiny Campers Magazine, a magazine devoted to small campers.
The more I look at these, the more one of these might be a good solution for our trip back east. I guess I’ll need to share this idea with my wife.
You can read the entire story from Cool Tears here

This short blurb about a fumigator on the back of a jeep was published in the January, 1948, issue of Popular Mechanics and available for free at Google. It doesn’t indicate whether this is a custom unit or an aftermarket fumigator available for the jeep. I see no indication it is powered by the jeep; it may be self contained.
These look more like Mini Terror tires rather than Desert Dogs. Still, finding brand new, rather than retreads, is unusual.

UPDATE: Other than this cover, there are no jeeps inside the magazine.
Not perfect, but pretty good.
“A Tonka Toys Jeep Dune Biggy in the box. The box does show some light soiling and wear. The jeep also shows some light soiling/wear. There is some light surface rust on the axles, very minor. There are two stickers that say Tom on them, I have not tried to remove them. Overall a nice used boxed toy.”

Looking for early NOS spark plugs? A reader asked me to pass along this ad.

This looks like a clean build. The front springs are reversed. The rears might be outboarded, but I can’t tell for sure.
“New Fiberglass body, Nice Paint, 4.3 Vortech motor, brand new top, Has bedliner flooring, Cage, This is a super clean Jeep.”
UPDATE: This is listed on eBay. More pictures added.
(02/01/2013) With the dogs and the cage, this could have been an old racer.
“1942 WW2 Ford GPW (Jeep) with matching S/N# GPW 82585 on frame, engine, and title. Clear Ohio title in my name. Needs restoration. The engine does turn over. It has a T90 transmission with the original syle transfer case. I bought it to restore but I’ve can see I’ll never get to it because I have too many other of projects. The tub needs new floors and sheet metal work. It’s been cut out for a tailgate. Obvious rust for its age. Front end, hood to dash look pretty good. From dash back will need work. Many “F” marked parts. I do have another better GPW tub that I am including in this auction. In the picture it is on a running gear that has been sold. The sale includes the red tub (only) and the 1942 GPW.
These are pictures when I bought it. I cleaned it up some and took off the roll cage and most civilian parts. I’ve got more pictures but couldn’t find them right now. The jeep is in storage, and I’ll have to pull it out to take more pictures.
I am selling this as is and am happy to answer any questions and send more pictures. Call: 937-862-4182
I can load this on your trailer.”
