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 .
In case you plan a trip to North Korea, you won’t have to leave behind your love of Willys, for the War Museum in North Korean Museum has a captured one there. http://www.travelthewholeworld.com/northkorea.html

Roberto spotted this possible monument to Yipaos in Colombia.
Roberto spotted this unusual monument from the Cole Land Transportation Museum in Bangor, Me.
Here is a GPW and trailer the Museum displays. The image was shot by Gary and Audrey and posted on their blog:
Roberto alerted me to this. I was through there five years ago and didn’t see it. Anyone know anything about it?
Roberto spotted these two photos from a Pheasant hunting expedition in India in 1944 at Fotolibra.com. These appear to be GPWs.
Rudolf forwarded a rare six by six setup which looks pretty willys-ish to me. This is the second one he has discovered in Bali.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Rudolph spotted this Ford GP that is dated as a 1938 for some reason. 1941 would be the actual year. It includes a trailer.
Gordon volunteered to share images of his unusual Unimog 401, which he calls ‘Grog’. It’s a pretty cool vehicle. Gordon got it from Cold War Remarketing in Colorado; in turn, he got it from the Swiss Army
Gordon writes,”Grog is completely street legal, I had him licensed and insured for a while. Top speed with its behemoth 25HP OM636 is 35 mph. (Probably far short of that here at 6000’ elevation). I have a few other 636 engines and have toyed with the idea of trying to turbocharge one of them, but that’s pretty far down on my list. Mercedes also used the 636 in the early Ponton cars (180D).”
UPDATE: See the newest CJ-6 here.
James and Tish run Red River Offroad Tours out of Taos and Red River, New Mexico. One of their vehicles is the refurbished 1975 CJ-6 shown below.
James writes, “The 1975 CJ6 was used by the US forest service in Colorado. It has a rebuilt stock motor and transmission. The suspension was modified with a 4′ lift kit and Cooper STT 33×12.50-15 on 8″wheels with a Disk brake conversion on the front. A couple custom built bench seats above the wheel wells in the back have been added for visitors. It also has a Custom built shade/rain canopy.
We do on and off-road Jeep tours in the mountains of Northern New Mexico. Taos and Red River,NM reaching elevations of 12,689. May thru the end of October. 7 days a week. www.redriveroffroad.com”
So Check out the website to learn more. Check out their photo album. That’s a cool effect. http://www.redriveroffroad.com/album/index.html
