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 .
Several people sent me a link to the Hemmings article. The seller is claiming the jeep was a crate jeep. The notes by the folks that commented underscore my feelings.

MBs, GPWs, M-38, M-38A1, M-170 and much more: Here are just some of the images. Many parts and other items for sale, too.
Doug spotted this solid looking restorable MB/GPW. It appears to have combat rims, too. It is listed as a 1946 Military Jeep.

Sierra County, NM, once claimed to have more jeeps per capita then any other county. I don’t know if that fact is true, but it was claimed to be the case in a 1950s article. Ever wonder how Truth or Consequences, NM, got its name? Read about it here.
“AUCTION: 1958 Willys CJ5 Jeep. All original. Red with custom soft top. Runs great! THIS SATURDAY MARCH 16TH 9AM AT WILLARD HALL AUCTIONS, at the Sierra County Fairgounds in Truth or Consequences, NM.”
