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 .
Marc spotted Bruce’s Surrey website. It’s a great place for surfing and learning more about this rare jeep!
What’s strange about this 1946 article is that it doesn’t show an ‘Army Jeep’. It shows an early CJ-2A. Anyone know where this article appeared?
“1946 How to Fix a Former ARMY JEEP

What’s on the front of this? Or, is that some type of funky grille?

This picture appeared in the May 9, 1958, edition of the Baltimore Sun. The horse’s named was Belle Jeep. She never race, but her son, Jewel’s Reward, became the leading money-winning juvenile of all time (at the print of the article anyway).

Marc spotted this mini-jeep on Flickr. I haven’t seen any other mini-shriner jeeps that I can remember. Anyone else seen one of these?
I have seen a similar body shape made out of fiberglass for racing. But, this appears to be metal.

UPDATE: This Chemigum ad was published int eh July 24, 1943, issue of the Saturday Evening Post, pg37.
Marc spotted these two neat photos.
“I think these pictures were maybe part of a salesman’s book or catalog. There’s not really a consistent theme. I see one Farmall tractor, some implements, a Jeep. (I believe it is marked Willys but it’s hard to tell.)
They are black and white. All have three holes punched on one side. A few have several sets of holes. Some have a sort’ve cloth backing. Others have a tab edge along the side of the picture.
I’m counting 23 pictures, but there are two more that are dupiclates. (Two of the one with a piece that looks like an arrow, and two of the farmer in the white shirt and hat.)
Size: Most are 8 x 10,” but 4 are 6 x 10.””
Here’s a great old postcard or brochure that Marc spotted on Flickr.

Art snapped this picture of him at Pink Jeep Plaza and posted it at Jeep Thing on Facebook. He and his wife went on a Pink Jeep Tour and enjoyed themselves immensely.
