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 .

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $50.
It’s not perfect, but is a good price.
“Solid aluminum cigarette lighter. Lighter on the hood, cigarette holder under roof. Has attachable trailer that is an ashtray.
This item made by Ges-Gesch, a German company, & was made right after WWII & only sold on U.S. Army bases in Germany.
These aren’t real rare but seldom come on market because sought after by tobacco item collectors.
Trailer tires are missing but in good shape & still displays really well.”
I forgot to share a photo of my 50th birthday cake. Ann declared me ‘older than dirt’ and included some jeeps on it.

This was the first jeep train to go over a repaired bridge at Ledan Chaung. I suspect the first time over was nerve racking!

Press photo that references a “peep” rather than a jeep. It is one of a series of photos showing military maneuvers to demonstrate the Hawaii was safe from attack, even by “hordes of Japanese: soldiers.
“1942- Communications “Peep” set up in a pineapple field during maneuvers in Hawaii.”

For those that enjoy Verne Simmons’ articles, John let me know that he’s published a new one that updates readers on his 1949 Cj-3A. Verne has done numerous articles about work he’s done one the jeep over the past sixteen years.

This appears to be some kind of Christmas photo with the jeep acting as the reindeer for a sleigh prop in the back. No information is included with the photo.

Ann loves her selfie stick! Here we are in front of the upper reservoir of Hells Canyon along the Snake River.
We had a good time during our recent trip to Hells Canyon. It wasn’t hellish at all! From Boise, we followed I-84 north until it reached the juncture of US-95. We followed US-95 until it reached the tiny town of Cambridge. From there we followed State Highway 81, a curvy and hilly (some 7% grades) road. Given we were driving the motorhome our trip along that road was pretty slow. We followed it over hills and through valleys until we dropped (steep drop) into the Brown Lee reservoir (fed by the Snake River) and found the Woodhead Campground, one of several campgrounds operated by Idaho Power in the area. We didn’t look at the campground too closely, but there were trees and manicured grass among the camping slots.
An overview of our drive from Boise to Copperfield on Friday the 19th. We camped at the Copperfield campground then drove on Saturday home via Richland, Oregon.
This map shows more details about the drive from Cambridge, Idaho, to Richland, Oregon.
