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 .
Here’s an unusual follow me jeep sign.

I guess this is where someone stands if they want a jeep taxi?

The staff at Bo’s Hotrods in Sanford, NC, just finished work on Jim’s restored CJ-2A. It looks like they do some good work. The jeep will now head to Maine where it will enjoy life in the country.
Roberto Flores forwarded this illustration yesterday. Some of those lifted jeeps are REALLY tall!
Jeep just announced their Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition. This is supposed to harken back to (or at least celebrate) the simplicity of the original civilian jeeps: the CJ-2A. When I look at it, I don’t see “2A”. However, I like the WILLYS sticker on the hood. Here are a couple links to more information:

Apparently this ad is for Synthane Technical Plastics related to coils and/or plugs. Unfortunately, the ad is small and not show in totality.

Published in the April 26, 1945, issue of the IBT, this jeep earned a camel hump by successfully flying (in a plane) over the Burma hump. Ann’s grandfather was a Pilot who flew and died flying the hump during WWII.

Hugo spotted this recently published ad which shows a VW pulling a Willys Wagon out of the mud. I prefer to think of it as the Wagon winching the VW backwards 🙂
He writes, “It is an advertisement of a brand new VW Amarok pulling of an old Willys. Is it fair? We could say:” stuck but still running!” Plates seem to be from Chile, but the willys could be an argentinian Estanciera. Journal is from Uruguay.”
