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 .
That first pic is particularly neat.

Based on the chrome front bumper, this CJ-5 might have an early Tuxedo package. It also seems to have an extended bed on the rear. There was a note on the back of the photo that suggested this might be part of the Jeep Jamboree.

Frazier shared this photo from the archives George Rodger. There’s some really neat photos of all kinds.

Tim Ghianni published a story about Emmett Automotive of Nashville that included a couple photos of the owner’s CJ-2A. He routinely has it parked where people can check it out.

Here are a mix of photos thanks to Charles.
Dutch dealer Sieberg. Note the lack of a fuel inlet and the fact that there is a JEEP stamped on the hood, but the VEC 2A early windshield.

Colin swears this isn’t him, but that surrey looks suspiciously similar to his. In his defense, I will say I’ve never seen him wear that red outfit to any FC Roundups, though it would match his Jeepster’s color. (see his Jeepster and Surrey here)

This odd combo popped up on Facebook. No indication as to where it was taken.
Bruce spotted this photo of a Ford convertible top on an MB/GPW. It seems to fit pretty well.

Glenn and Miss Willy couldn’t make the local town parade in Smithfield, Maine, after Miss Willy’s accident, so Glenn’s friends made sure that at least Miss Willy would be there, even if it took a tow truck. That’s how you know you have good friends 🙂
