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 .
Mark Smith and Dan Laity teamed up on a story about Dan’s rebuilt FC-150. Check it out at jeep truck.com.

Dan shared scans of a Traveller brochure he spotted on eBay.
Carl Baklaar was a veteran signalman for Pere Marquette Railroad. He used a CJ-2A as his maintenance vehicle. Looks like a Kemco cab?
The Detroit Free Press published an article about the Pygmy. It includes some pics and videos.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s a cool FC item.
“Kaiser jeep willys jeep forward control. This is a very rare whirl away ashtray jeep dealer promotion item. Purchased from estate of a man who owned a jeep dealership for many years. It is a chrome ashtray with a jeep fc on top. I have done a lot of research and only found one similar which had a cj3b on it. These were only sold to dealerships. And the fc was only made for a few years. You may never see another one. Looks like it will shine up nice . I lest the dirt and grime on it. A bit of rust where the ashes sat. Ask questions look photos over well.”
This August 4, 1945, article in the Toronto Daily Star shares the story of an overseas soldier mailing home a jeep in pieces. Perhaps more impressive, a second soldier was mailing home an entire dental office.
It has a good starting price.
