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: Barry explores this topic (future of the jeep) more on his Farmjeep site: https://www.farmjeep.com/2020/01/14/who-would-want-a-jeep-predictions-from-1943-and-1944/
This article on the future of the jeep was published in The Daily Illini on February 14, 1943.

(11/14/2019) It looks in nice shape. Not a perfect restoration, but a good refurb. It looks like the front frame horns weren’t replaced as part of the restoration.

Blaine spotted this Tux Park IV accidentally listed under the trailers category. Could be worth a look. I can’t tell if there is some whitish spray paint on the lower half of the doors or if that is caused by shadows.

This is an interesting story. George Baxter of ArmyJeepParts.com rebuilt this 1946 CJ-2A with a Willys MB frame, one of handful of production CJ-2As with MB frames. Thanks to Mark Smith and WarJeeps.com for alerting me.
This September 6, 1943, photo shows a training exercise in Lubbock, Texas, with soldiers emerging from a glider on an MB ready for a fight. These days you can learn more about glider training at the Silent Wings Museum in Lubbock.

“This is an original press photo. Jeep-in-the-box – The instant this big glider touches earth, up springs its nose, out pops a jeep loaded with soldiers. It’s a magic trick the enemy knows about by now, to their sorrow. But new glider tricks are promised. This is training attack at South Plains Army Air Field, Lubbock, Texas. Photo measures 8 x 10.25 inches. Photo is dated 09-06-1943.”
