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 article from the January 1968 issue of Willys News shared news from the 1958 Chicago auto show. To the left is a rare photo of Willys’ Economy Delivery Truck. Here are other photos from past Chicago shows related to jeeps. And this one from the 1959 show.
Steve let me know that these to jeeps were auctioned this past weekend. One was supposed to be a completely NOS, non-restored jeep in mint condition. However, I thought the data plates looked a little too shiny? There is a good shot of them late in the video. The MB sold for $24,000. The restored GPW sold for $25,000.
Here’s the link to the video:

This photo was published in the Eugene Register Guard on February 10, 1944. Of the four men, three were form Eugene and one was from Prineville, Oregon.
This non jeep article was quite fascinating. It was published in the July 3, 1944, issue of the Milwaukee Journal.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $50.
“My friend pulled this seat out of the back his M38A1. I don’t know what it’s from. Do you think you and/or your readers can identify it or eliminate that it doesn’t belong in a CJ, wagon, or something similar?
It’s about 32″ wide. Seat back is about 25″ tall from top to the apex of the curve and seat is a depth of about 18″
The seat back has a full metal support under the Vinyl that does have strength grooves. Cushions are metal springs with horse hair or coconut fiber. I’m guessing the seat is from the 40-50’s but not sure.”
Good article about the jeep from 1943. It was published in the Milwaukee Journal, September 18, 1943.
John forwarded this silly video that features a jeep.

I saw this the other day on Facebook. Lester notes it was published in Army Motors Magazine.
