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 runs. The steps have been patched and the bumper replaced, but there’s plenty of MB left.

Bob forwarded me this image. We both felt the top looked more designed for GP, Bantam or Quad than for a MB/GPW.
Bob writes, “A woman at work gave me a small print today. Said it was in her aunt’s stuff when she died. It was taken around 1947. Looks like an MB sporting it’s combat wheels. It was her boyfriend who drove the jeep. He was int he Navy at the time, but I don’t know if it was his Jeep or the Navy’s. I think the top is pretty cool”
Gerald forwarded this story of the Jeeper Vineyards, the full text of which is on Autoblog. The story is from spring 2011.
“To help commemorate the 60th anniversary of Jeep, vineyard Jeeper has teamed up with Delta 4×4, a company well-known in Europe for aftermarket wheels, tires and other offroad accessories, to produce a limited-edition champagne.”

A reader had a few specific questions about the Tuxedo Park Mark IV Page related to a jeep he’s considering buying, but needs to know the following:
1. The CJ-5 is missing the chrome rear bumper. Was the rear bumper also used on any other models? How hard is it to find a replacement.
2. The column shift assembly is missing and it is the stock three speed. Where these the same ones used on the DJ or Surrey or any other models?
3. Did all Mark IV Pages have a V6 and the Emblem on the side as shown below (from the early CJ-5 Page)?
If anyone has the answers offhand, that would be great.
