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 .
FYI: Internet wasn’t behaving last night, so I had to cut short the posts at 23 ….. There’s a LOT of jeeps out there right now!
A women-owned restoration shop called Lost Legends in Weare, New Hampshire, recently completed a restoration of a wagon. I could only find a photo from the front, but it looks like they did a beautiful job! Learn more here:

You get two photos as part of this auction.
“This is an original press photo. An interesting method of fording an unformable stream is demonstrated in these picture by the men of the Fourth Division motorized at Upatoi Creek near Fort Benning. The quarter ton reconnaissance carps “jeeps” are literally floated across the stream as shown here. At the top, the jeep is backed onto a square of canvas, part of which rests on the surface of the water. The canvas is then pulled up and tied just as you would wrap a package and the jeep is tied up in canvas, which also contains water, then the machine, which weighs slightly more than one ton empty, then displaces enough water to float. It is then pushed across the stream and is ready for another go at the enemy. Photo measures 8 x 10.25 inches. Photo is dated 7-15-1941.”

The “A1”, a CJ-3B Fire Jeep, served as Elko airport’s first fire truck. Still in good shape, it was recently put to use for the “fill the boot” Muscular Distrophy campaign.
This video demonstrates how many different types of vehicles were participating. At several points you’ll see a rare siting of an Austin Champ going offroad. Note also the nearly brand-new looking Tux Park. Great stuff!
I’m not sure how the reporter knew the sign was erected by New Zealanders?
“This is an original press photo. New Zealanders, who probably got their information from a close contest with Nazi Bullets, erected his sign which temporarily halts an American Jeep on famed Highway “6” which leads to Rome. “Achtung” is the German word for “attention” and the warning it headlines is situated a few miles from where the Rapido River crosses the highway south of Cassino. Photo measures 8.25 x 7.25 inches. Photo is dated 3-18-1944.”

Steve has a 14″ jeep rim. Anyone know what model used them? The faded label indicates jeep corp made the.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.
(06/19/2017) The Jeepney doesn’t run. The oil filter mount isn’t a triangle nor is it a circle. It’s an oval. What’s that from? It also has an interesting dash, too.
“This is for the Willys collector who thought they had everything. It’s an awesome project and you’ll be the hit of the show. Very complete and unusual. Does not run. Do not contact with offers to help sell. No trades.”
The new issue of Dispatcher Magazine was just released. In it you can read my updated version of the Free Lock article that I wrote as a post several months ago.
In this episode, the folks at Dirt Every Day took two broken jeeps, a wagon and a YJ, and made one running jeep.
This jeep includes a trailer on rails.
“This is an original press photo. The jeep takes on cargo at the loading platform in an air depot. The jeep has only one small trailer. In jeep is Sgt. D. Kelly, of Betava N.Y. Private Ed L. Ward of Kenton Ohio, directs from the platform, while Pvt. Henry Martion of Great Falls, Mont. is in the truck on platform. Sgt. M. J. Bacciarina from Merced California stands at rear of trailer.Photo measures 9 x 7.25inches. Photo is dated 8-20-1943.”
