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 .
This article from the Volume 12, 1966, issue of Jeep News highlights nineteen year-old Donnie Beyer’s win at the Jeep-O-Rama near Denver.

Great armored jeep photo. Left to right is Sgt. Arthur Sandbank (At gun) from Brooklyn, 1st Sgt. Allen McGauley (Driver) from Elyria, Ohio, and T/5(?) Clifford E. Kennedy from Antes Fort, PA.
“1944- U.S. 82nd Airborne paratroopers, and their mascot dog “Dutchy”, set out on a reconnaissance mission in Nijmegen, Holland, in an armored jeep.”
Cool sign!
“Awesome old Jeep sign. This sign is lighted. The interior part has 3 neon light baluster. 2 of them work but the third does not work. It is possible that it is supposed to be a blinker bulb or something and maybe that is why it doesnt work. It measures 4’1.5″ long x 8″ deep x 13″ high. It is being sold as is. As you can see there are some scratches and fading on the front. The metal frame is also rusted but seems solid. Add this sign to your show room or garage and it will be a great conversation piece. If you think its over priced, well its a Jeep thing and you wouldnt understand.”

If this were my boat, then I’d rather be fishing!

John is selling this amusement ride jeep. Note that the steering wheel doesn’t turn the wheels. See description.
“For sale is a used Junior Pro Amusement Ride Jeep Fire Truck. 50 inches long x 21 inches wide x 15 inches high
These were originally built as pedal cars. This one was adapted to be used on an amusement ride. It has been repainted at least once. See pictures for condition.
EDIT 3/22/15 *Please note the next to last picture. The front wheels are fixed in position by a turnbuckle. The steering wheel is not connected to the front wheels. The steering wheel just spins and is just for effect.
There are some minor dings and there are signs of filler. No rust-thru. Some surface rust. Wheels are in very poor condition. Front spindles are worn.
Wheels and steering wheel are not original. No windshield or ladder included. The hitch and wooden seat back are not original parts. They were added as part of the amusement ride modifications.
