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 .
Looks in good shape.

My GI-Joe gun never went “BAM!”.
Marc found this unusual Willys export truck with extra carrying capacity. I thought it was a refrigeration unit of some kind, but the side reads “Pocket Testament Leage”. Maybe it is a variant of the Sprecksell body (see brochure in post below).
“Vintage 1948 Real Picture Post Card of two Chinese men from the Pocket Testament League posing with a Willys Jeep Panel truck or van. The condition is good with some loss to the front…you still get the idea. Great addition to any collection.”

It looks like this matches the standard design layout of the truck nicely.
I’ve never seen an original version of this press photo from February 6, 1941. Great photo! The use of the term “Might Midget” rather than jeep or blitz buggy is notable.
“This is an original press photo. Dept- US Army Service Corps, Credit – ACME & NEAPhoto measures 9 x 7inches. Photo is dated 02-6-1941.”

UPDATE: Blaine forwarded the video for the Mini-Beep:
Struck-Kit offers what they call a Mini-Beep Kit, which you can use to build mini jeep-like vehicles. You can even build an amphibious version.

I guess there’s a reason no one has wanted to bid $.99 for this . . .
“Excellent condition. Large logo on the front chest. Adult XL.”

UPDATE: There was a report the museum might have closed, but Renee reports it is still open.
(Originally post was from 2010) In early 2000, Dean Kruse purchased the entire collection of a closed Belgium museum. On September 4, 2000, the groundbreaking ceremony was held for the new 192,000 square foot American Heritage Museum that would house the former Belgian collection on a site in Auburn, Indiana. The museum complex opened in early 2003, with the WWII Victory Museum housed in the south wing of the complex. Read the entire history here from cybermodeler. This looks like a big place with multiple museums.
These photos were shot by Rick and Orinda:

Buz found this photo from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He writes, “This is Poe Motor Company a Plymouth/Desoto dealer, the building still stands, maybe one day I can get a photo of my CJ3A in front of it, I believe the building is now a restaurant.” The Poe Motor Company name is painted across the windshield.
The second pillow case with a jeep in two days. These clearly weren’t one-offs. There must have been a basic pattern or some kind of history behind them.
“Up for bid is a Tennessee Army Maneuvers 1943 To My Wife Poem Pillow Cover Tank Jeep Cannon Eagle etc. Images and writing on the cover are raised felt like material. No stains, color variation in the photos is due to the flash hitting the folds and wrinkles. In very good condition for its age.”
