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 .

Robin thinks these photos might be suggest the roots of his Willys Sickness. Yep, based on these photos, he was doomed from an early age.
“Here are some photos that might explain me. The kid on the trike is me. The Jeep in the background was my Dad’s (started my collection). The guy in the M-38 was my Dad’s first Sgt in Korea and the CJ3-a is just a pic my Dad had.”
That’s a lot of jeeps for sale!

“Kempro Large Military Jeep Wooden Kit, complete with prints, full scale prints, completed jeep is 11 in. long, mint condition in original box, box is 14 in. x 6-1/4 in.”
Reader and T-shirt designer Jeff Phillips helped me create these new t-shirts from a 1942 drawing. I received the first box of olive drab shirts today. The look great and, made from 60/40 bend of cotton and polyester, feel great. I’ll explain more in a few days once I get the gray shirts.
I just noticed this vintage ad has the slogan “In War and Peace” on it. Well, my new T-shirts have the same slogan. More on them tomorrow when I unpack the finished shirts1

Marc found this interesting photo. Note they are marked “US ARMY” across the windshield. Was that to stop the Navy guys from stealing them?
“From Lt Robert D. McTierney, Hawaii Photo Album stationed at Ft. Shafter, Oahu. The first dates written in the album part way through the album are from early 1942 to Christmas 1942, he was with QM.”
Paul alerted me to this first photo of Movie Star Carole Landis in a jeep. Given the passenger door, I’m wondering if it might have been some type of Holden modified Australian MB?
This first photo is located at a UCLA website. The jeep sure looks similar to a jeep that was for sale in 2010.
She was also photographed in a Ford GP Prototype:
But, she might be most famously connected with jeeps due to her role in the movie Four Jills in a Jeep from 1944. The photo below and the image of the book below that were posted at this website:
Carole even wrote a book about her experience entertaining the troops which was also published under the name Four Jills in a jeep,
