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 .
This looks good, but I’ve heard it needs a little work.

Bruce and I exchanged a few emails about Elvis and jeeps. I’m still not certain how, but after a few searches for Elvis, I found myself learning more about the Tour-de-France and Jeeps. This was quite a fun search. Elvis will have to wait until later . . .
This is a restored Tour-de-France jeep that may be an MB. I found the photo below on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dprezat/3625273265/

Yesterday, Ann’s mom was watching a TV Movie called “The Journey” starring Yul Brenner and Deborah Kerr. I didn’t pay much attention, as I was cooking dinner, until the end of the movie when Yul Brenner stands next to a MB. The next think I know, he’s dead in the MB. Ann had her mom rewind it and we captured a couple pictures. Nice Jeep!
One moment, Yul is alive:
The next moment, he isn’t:
