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 .
Buz spotted this nice DJ-3A used by the Look Park Police in Florence, MA, from 1957 to 1986.
You can see more images of it here: http://policecarwebsite.net/yet/rwcar4s/lookpark.html
This DJ-3A was also mentioned in a cj2apage forum as well.
This picture was taken early this year by CTROADDOG and posted to FLICKR.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Post Cereals had a set of Hopalong Cassidy cards in 1951 and Roy Rogers cards in 1952 and 1953. The only card that included a jeep appears to have been Card #4 of the 1953 set, which shows Pat Brady and His Jeep.
Here’s a prototypeish jeep depicted amidst a battle with Japanese soldiers. I looked for other jeep related cards among the series, but I could only find a handful of other cards.

There were many variations of Auburn’s Jeep-A-Trench. This list shows pricing, width, and depth options.
Both Gerald and Bob sent us pictures Sunday from Bantam Fest. I’ve made a few comments on them, but it’s late, so most are without comments.
Here is one they sent one of them together (Gerald on the left and Bob on the right) holding a picture of Lost Biscuit. Looks like Bob is wearing one of Roberto’s T-shirts.
Below is Lee Bortmas, the Bantam historian in Butler standing next to a BRC-40.
Rick Pewe is Editor-in-Chief of Petersen’s Four wheel & Off-Road Magazine and a recent inductee into the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame. Gerald reports Rick is on a trip from Arizona to Butler to Nova Scotia and back.

Mark, Bob, and Sebastian all reported that Saturday’s weather wasn’t the best, with either rain or threats of rain. Still, there was plenty of to do and many jeeps to photograph. The most photographed vehicle seems to be the Concept FC. There are many fans of that rig.
Mark has posted some photos at JeepTruck’s Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/JeepTruckcom/108141260309
Here are some pics from Bob:
