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 .
From Gus and the Model Garage comes this tale. It is more adventure story than mechanic story, but it does feature a Ford GP. It is titled “Gus Helps Land a Big Catch” and published in July, 1961.

I’m not sure what to make of this unusual T-shirt. It’s a used XXL t-shirt for or from LRG: LIFTED RESEARCH GROUP WORLD WIDE SURROUND SOUND.

The Valley Fire Truck Company, based in Bay City, Michigan, converted basic willys truck chassis’ into Fire Trucks. Below is a rare ad from 1957 for their fire trucks.
I thought these were a neat photos of the Jeepster assembly line with a CJ-2A in the background.
Here’s a nice photo of two women sitting on a military jeep. I wonder what it says on the hood.
Dexter spotted this second picture:
I’ve never seen this ad before now.” This is the actual ad and not a copy of one. It was published in 1947.
Also, there are a bunch of other ads currently on ebay
Buz discovered this website in Argentina. There are a variety of different jeeps for sale, some familiar and some less so. Visit the website and check it out. Here is a Willys MB for $15,000: http://www.arcar.org/willys-mb-14-ton-46729
You can learn more about these IKA (Industrias Kaiser Argentina) built jeeps at the CJ-3B Page.
Here are some other vehicles I spotted in just a minute of searching:
This appears to be a MB/GPW of some vintage –
This is a CJ-2A with an unusual top –
Here are a couple of 2WD IKA Jeeps modeled on the CJ-5, but with a longer wheelbase
I thought this was an interesting ad. The two ‘selling’ points in this 1948 ad for the Willys Trucks are that they save on gas and oil & that they have a tight turning radius.
Bill, from Lime Street Carriages, posted some pics of last weekend’s 2o12 Willys Picnic on his Face book page. He wrote, “I think there were 76-77 Jeeps there this year and the weather was great (hot). My group took 6 Jeeps up from Lancaster (68 mi each way) and next year we’ll have more!
