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 .
Ever heard of these? I’ve seen jeeps on two wheels, but not with only two wheels.

Justin spotted this belt buckle for sale by the Victorian Military Vehicle Corps out of Australia. Here’s what he had to say.
“I knew as soon as I received my Jeep Belt buckle, I had to share my experience with the readers of Ewillys. After a quick google search, I found an awesome way to carry my crazy Jeep addiction with me everyday. An MB grill belt buckle!
After digging a little deeper I found an email from the link. I emailed the gentleman and shortly got a response. He (Mitch) said he only has a small quantity left (35) and he was located in Australia. Mitch promptly shipped the buckle and sent an invoice on PayPal. I paid $40 for it shipped to my door and only took a week.
It turns out I did more than just buy a buckle. I am signed up with a great group or “association” of WWII Jeep enthusiasts called WW2 Jeeps NSW. These folks are die hard Jeep fans like us who post a great e-newsletter monthly. The information in the letter is priceless and they have other memorabilia for sale as well. And like I said, Mitch treated the customer service very well!”
This looks pretty good apart.

This is a rare box that looks most like a Willys MA, but I don’t think the parts will make a jeep.
“Igot this box in a garage sale and I am not sure if the items inside the box are from that model kit so I am selling more the box that the items (ofcourse I will send all show in pictures) expecting that some one will have use for them but my price is more for the box.
Box is original and old and it shows wear due to time and storage, will be a nice + for any one who collect this king of items. Thanks for looking!”

Craig scanned this from a June 1957 issue of Willys News.
Sebastian’s dad, always on alert for jeep stuff in Colombia, emailed this picture while the site was down. You might remember this coffee jeep from Colombia.
Sebastian added some notes for us:
“– The coffee sign, the wrong spelling in English and really no meaning in Spanish (it should be café)
– The top white sign saying “minutos” which means cell phone minutes. You basically pay a fee and you can use their cell phone for a call. Look the lady using the phone for a call.
– Middle white sign which offers “Mazamorra”, a local dish that not everyone dares to try. Not that easy to find these days, and not really recommended if you have an afternoon full of things to do, most likely you will need a long nap after eating that.
– Bottom sing “arroz con leche” which means rice pudding, sweetened to perfection.
It can not be more Colombian than this!”
Roberto pointed out this four door Commando Project. I don’t think the project is finished, but it is still interesting.

Taking pity on Mark’s withdrawals, I spotted this link that I never posted about Fred Kay’s Crazy Railroad. Lots of jeeps on rails.

Meanwhile, I’m going through and deleting old posts to reduce the site’s overhead while I move it over.
