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 .
Not sure how this landed on my Facebook Marketplace feed, but here’s a GPW out of England.

“1942 ford gpw script. Dates March 1942. Been in the dry in Australia. Had some extension work carried out to the rear tub. But no big deal to put back to normal. Has ww2 engine fitted”
No reason to think it’s a ’41. It might have an f-head engine. It has a GPW body.

“1941 Willys MB. An American icon and hero. She served in WW II transporting Marine officers. She was dismantled and reassembled to serve our country again in the Korean War. Her 4WD will take you anywhere. All boxes and accessories are period correct. Please look at pictures. I get comments everytime I drive her. I hate to pass her on, but I no longer have the garage space to store her. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of USA history!”
