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 is part of a collection of photos, but none of the other photos have jeeps.

This pictorial shows Willys passenger cars, including the Jeepster and the Wagon, from 1903 through 1955. I don’t see any size indication for this.

I ran across this neat old photo of a USDA Forest Service CJ-3B at their site. I couldn’t pull up the actual page. You can view the original picture here: http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_MEDIA/stelprdb5354294.jpg
Looking for USDA jeeps I found these two different plows used for fire fighting in the late 1940s/early 1950s.
The “V-shape plow” was featured in the August 1949 issue of Popular Mechanics:
This plow was featured in the May 1951 issue of Popular Mechanics on page 151.
I’ll bet this guy was having a fun time!

I was searching the National Archives and managed to find a few interesting items. This little treasure shows Bristo Screws proclaiming its support for the Ford Jeep.

This is an unusual album that includes some jeep pictures.
“A vintage/original c.1945 WWII US Army Soldier’s Photo Album for his Sweetheart back in the States – full of Real Photos / Photographs / Snapshots – I count 113. He was stationed in Hawaii – c.1943-45 – w/ his trusty Jeep “The Slick-Chick” that had a Pin-Up Girl painted on the side like Nose Art. Photos of Army & Civilian Life in the Territory of Hawaii right at the end of WWII – including V-J Day & a Servi-Car type Motorcycle. Great Hula & Surfing graphics on the cover, overall the album measures aprx 7.5″ x 10.75″.”
UPDATE: Tim commented that this is not Les.
The owner of this slide from Flickr thinks it might be a photograph of a young Les Schwab. I have his biography, which was very interesting, but it is packed in a box somewhere. This was one of a pile of slides the seller bought on eBay.

How about this unusual rig. It looks like it is part woody and part MB. There was no caption included.
