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 unusually modified Truck (or wagon?) from the 10th Annual Car and Bike Show in Atlanta, GA last weekend. I found it on the American Resto Mods Facebook Site.

Not too surprisingly, the General George S. Patton Museum, at Fort Knox, Kentucky, has a few jeeps. I read that the museum was supposed to be relocated to Fort Benning, GA, but I don’t know if that happened or not yet.
The two jeeps below are supposed to be part of the museum. If there are others, I didn’t run across any photos.
One unusual model at the museum is a Constabulary Jeep, which was part of the Constabulary Force in Europe following World War 2. You can read more about this Force here.
This picture was taken by Patrick Keenan and posted at warwheels.net, where there are several more photos from different angles.
The museum also has his Division Commander (Major General) jeep. You view more pictures from the warwheels.net site as well.
I’ve not run across one of these Military Police / Germany Tin toy jeeps. Here are some additional photos of constabulary jeeps.

Paul forwarded me this picture of the awning for his workshop door. As he says, “it keeps the rain off and looks good!”
John also has a hood-as-awning, too (click here and scroll down to last pic).
