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 .
Don was in Denver, Colorado, and stopped by the Forney Museum of Transportation. Inside he found this nice looking M-38A1.
He also stopped by the El Pinto Restaurant in Albuquerque (which he recommends). There he spotted this 1945 GPW.
Cool photo.

Alex found this unusual photo on a French website (no credit was give for the photo). He thought it a historical re-enactement of the allied landing in Southern France in 1944. I think she might be photoshopped into the image (not sure). Certainly, the photo leaves little to the imagination.
Peter shared photos of a few jeeps he used to own.
He writes, Enclosed several photos of Jeeps in the 1960’s which I thought might be of interest. Two of these were taken outside Metamet the Jeep dealers in Daleham mews London around 1966 at the time I was making regular trips for parts.
The other photos show my first jeep CJG which I regrettably soon found out was more suitable as spares. It had at some time been given some form of conversion and the body extended, the rear enclosed with planks ! An extra length towbar can be seen. This jeep was beyond ever getting being put back on the road so was soon disposed of.
Probably not too vintage, but still an interesting piece.

Nick shared this story. To boost the young recruits morale before going off to war 18 year old actor Marilyn Hare attempted to kiss 10,000 soldiers before they were shipped off to war during WWII. Below are the pics that included a jeep. Here is the original site with more pics and information: http://imgur.com/gallery/V9aDZ.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $200.
Neat piece, but the price it nuts.

Don photographed this MB/GPW with some modifications. He seems to be feeding his jeep habit, that is when he isn’t enjoying motorcycles and food.
