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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Ever seen one of these?
“Authentic License Plates as shown – This is the only place on the entire planet which has issued (and they no longer do it) A special class of plate for a jeep.”
Charles forwarded these photos. The first one shows the former queen BEATRIX of the netherlands ( who just passed the crown to her son a few weeks ago).
The bidding on this ended, but I’m sure it will get relisted.
“Hi, and welcome! Thanks for stopping by. You are looking at a 5×7 photograph printed on FujiFilm Crystal Archive emulsion paper depicting one of the first American Jeeps to penetrate into Germany during World War II. Driving the Jeep is T/5 Charles D. Hiller of East Syracuse, New York. Sitting next to him is a Belgian patriot in an American uniform, holding an M1 Garand. His name was Henri Souvee of Liege, Belgium. The photo was taken in Roetgen, Germany on September 10, 1944.”

Charles forwarded these great photos taken in Europe.
The first is a ‘pension’ for Dogs and Cats . . . aka animal control.
Here’s a nice looking service jeep created from a MB or GPW.
I don’t know anything about these jeep-like Ramirez vehicles.

UPDATE: I thought this was in Belgium, but Charles correct me (thanks!).
Charles shared these pictures from the Overloon Liberty Park Museum in Netherlands. The park contains over 150 vehicles and looks to consist of several different museums. You can see the museum’s location on this map. Many more photos of the museum are viewable through google images.
This appears to be a Slat Grille MB.

At least I think that’s a Ford GP. I’m having trouble telling given the photo’s angle. The page is 14×11 inches.
