About eWillys
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.
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 .
No year for the negative of this jeep marked 20112942. The men seem to be enjoying themselves.
“For auction negative with view of soldier in a jeep, the auction is for negative not an actual photo, some wear marks on negative. Negative measures about 2 3/4 inches x 4 1/2 inches. Shipping is $2.32 to the USA or $6.55 for international shipping.”
What happens when a Howitzer is pushed from a plane, but its parachute fails to open? Well, these paratroopers learned first hand that the weapon turns into a large paperweight. At least the parachute on the jeep and soldiers worked!

Roger and his father Jim “Pee Wee” Martin attended the August 23, 2014 D-Day Reenactment in Conneaut, Ohio. He writes, “I took my dad,Jim “Pee Wee” Martin (2014 CNN Pee Wee Interview), and Ira Morehart to the D-day Reenactment in Conneaut, Ohio on August 23rd, 2014. My dad is the one in the passenger seat of the Jeep. He and Ira were in the 101st Airborne that jumped into Normandy the night before the D-day invasion. The jeep is a GPW that now features my father’s signature inside the glovebox.”
Roger added, “These other 2 pictures are on South Bass Island in Lake Erie where I went with my youngest daughter, Katie, September 11, 2014. The two jeep “trains” are in front of the winery where the largest geode in the world is located under the winery. Guests can tour the winery and see the geode.”
“3 Vintage 1940s-1950s photos of a Willy’s Jeep sitting outside of Horace Ilderton Dodge and Plymouth Car garage in High Point, North Carolina. The writing on the jeep says, “City Transit Co”. They are 2.75″ x 4.5″ black and white photos. One has foxing, and the others have minor wear.”
This 1974 poster is one I haven’t seen available very often.
“For your consideration is an original rare vintage American Motors Jeep Parts Division Model Chart. The heavy stock paper chart shows pictures and identification features of all Jeep models from 1941 through 1974. The charts were designed to hang in a Jeep dealerships parts department for reference. It measures approx. 45″ wide, and 35″ tall. The chart is rolled and free of any rips, tears, stains, or pin/tack holes. The exposed edge has normal wear from age, handling and storage, but nothing that detracts from its appearance or functionality.”
This Willys wagon was built by an older couple to enjoy fishing. Maybe it is just the camera perspective, but it sure looks like there is plenty of room inside. When the couple decided they were done using it, they sold it the author of this blog: http://rockhopperfishing.com/sleepinginthedunes1963/
Washoe Willys is the Reno-Sparks Convention & Visitors Authority’s newest representative. This 1951 Wagon will appear at a variety of the region’s attractions to promote the RSCVA.
