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 is a photo of an MB from England with an unusual exposure.

Out of the UK come these unusual metal jeep scultpures. I wish there were better pictures.
This unique sculpture created by Richard White is available for sale. Go to his website to see more pictures.

Holidays and Jeeps … does it get better? More from Roberto.
Here is another Christmas Illustration courtesy of Roberto Flores.
Roberto spread some christmas cheer our direction by sending some examples of his holiday jeeps. They will appear over the next few days. Thanks Roberto!
Alex forwarded this to me. What you see below is the artwork Norman Saunders completed for use on the cover of the 1969 edition of Man’s Conquest.
I did some searches for ‘Willys Snowflakes’. Not surprisingly, I couldn’t find any. However, I did find this wonderful watercolor illustration done by M.H. Keough from the UK.
She writes on Flickr, “I love painting military vehicles ‘settling in for the long rust’. There’s a quiet dignity surrounding these old warhorses that I hope my art conveys.”
You can see the photo on Flickr here.
You can go to her blog here. Fine prints (22″ x 16″) are available through her website, however her online store seems down?
Roberto tells me he is practicing his French. Here’s an illustration he made the other day. I believe it roughly translates as, ‘it is so cold even ducks will freeze’. Yes, winter is here! Of course, as always, Roberto slipped in a jeep . . .
Just when I was wondering what kind of turkey-willys post I could create for today’s holiday, Roberto forwarded me the perfect illustration. So, today I am thankful for his artistry! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Roberto forwarded his latest drawing to me. I think he had a lot of fun drawing this one!
He wrote, “It´s a a cartel or poster drawn for the 18th International Meeting of Classic Military Vehicles of the Guixaró 2012, Catalonia, Spain, organized by the Classic Motor Club of the Bages, Catalonia, Spain. I call it “Where is Willys?”…Obviously, after the influence of “Where´s Wally?” art.”
Roberto Flores, who has shared a variety of illustrations with eWillys readers, has published a non jeep book. The name of the book is “Have You Ever Wondered Why Spiders Yawn?”
