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 .
SAS artwork from Cranston Fine Arts in the UK. I’m unsure if any prints of the below works are still available.
I thought this was kind of cool, too. The photo comes from a collectibles site. The people featured in the 8″x6″ print are Paddy Mayne and Ian Fenwick.
Roberto Flores recently completed a story of the lineage of the jeep that was published at French magazine “4×4 Story Spécial Jeep“, issue 35. Great drawing and thanks for sharing it with us.
Here’s a great Holiday drawing! You can see the full version at Jan’s website, http://www.jwdeboer.nl, or via this link.
Gerald forwarded me some jeep-centric pics that you may or may not have seen.
Roberto has created some special cards for the holiday season (post cards and christmas cards). Click on the card below to order them.
Gerald found this great old cartoon. I always thought jeeps had minds of their own …
Roberto always has a variety of flat fender items attached to shirts, pillows and more. He forwarded some more pics for us. You can always check Roberto’s store for more . You can also check his English language version of his website: http://www.robertoflores.com/ And this blog too: http://theoutliner.blogspot.com/.

“These are a pencil drawings on acid-free heavy paper. They are 9×12″, and are available as a print and the original drawings are for sale. Write me at art4veterans@aol.com We can discuss your interest in these drawings, as well as others in the history of the jeep series.”
Randy forwarded me an announcement that Bill Mauldin has been honored with a stamp, shown below.
According to the email Randy sent me, “Mauldin, and his work, meant much to the millions of Americans who fought in World War II, and to those who had waited for them to come home. He was a kid cartoonist for Stars and Stripes, the military newspaper; Mauldin’s drawings of his muddy, exhausted, whisker-stubbled infantrymen Willie and Joe were the voice of truth about what it was like on the front lines.”
Here is a pic of the stamp, followed by Mauldin in a jeep.
Just in time for some summer surfin, Roberto shares this older illustration of a CJ-3A sporting a surfboard with us. Thanks Roberto!
Roberto Flores has an older illustration he’d like to share with us (thanks!). I managed to find a self-taken snapshot of myself, a handsome lad (well, that’s what mom always said) of 21 years, in a similar situation. I knew approximately where I was (in southeastern washington), but didn’t know exactly where I was, even with the help of the map and signs (pomerey, shown on the sign at the bottom, isn’t exactly a big town). So, I just tried driving with the early morning sun to my left so that I’d be heading south. Truth be told, I love being lost 🙂
Here’s Roberto’s drawing.
Here’s me, circa early November, 1985:
