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 .
The folks hosting the Toledo Jeep Fest asked me to post this announcement. John shared this link about the event from Hemmings: http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2016/05/16/toledo-to-celebrate-willys-jeeps-75th-anniversary/?refer=news

The Toledo Blade reported the change by the military from the square to the round nose.
A column written by John Marvin Rast for the Spartanburg Herald-Journal on May 30, 1942, demonstrates how convinced even the public was about the jeep’s potential.
This photo of an overturned jeep was published in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Josh has this rare manual for sale on eBay.
“The book is a FORD factory training program to train U.S. Army instructors on the 1941 military vehicles particularly the Ford GP. It basically has the all the NOS GP manuals including the Maintenance Manual, Parts Price list, and Service Manual; as well as a rare tool list. It also features other ford military vehicle manuals and quite a few of unique documents that not only give insight into the day to day scheduled and objectives of the training program but also goes into some detail into standard and specialized service equipment and suppliers.”

This set sold on eBay yesterday for $27
Sid-kris posted pics of this Willys Overland Package Van on Facebook (he was wondering what it was). This marks the third package van we’ve identified. The first is the one Jesse is rebuilding. The second was sold in 2014 in California (a slightly different model – see brochures here). This third one was spotted in West Virginia as I understand it. What’s unique about this one is that it is 4WD (the other two were 2WD).
This is a good, clear photo.

“I found this recently, and it’s in fantastic shape overall. I’m not 100% certain of its age, but found it as part of a lot in which I was able to date other pieces from the 60’s. A very detailed little pin; definitely original and promotional. It measures 1 1/8″ bumper to bumper.”
