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 .

I can’t tell what the cage-looking thing in the rear cargo area does. Maybe some kind of lockbox?

“I am selling my 1947 CJ2A. This is a great jeep! Starts, runs and drives great! Tow bar for pulling behind. I replaced the starter about a year ago. Leaks a little oil. There is a small crack in the windshield frame that is easily fixable but the glass is in perfect shape. 3 speed, high and low range 4 wheel. Transmission and transfer case work great. The driver seat has been modified for a little extra leg room.
Clean title”

“For sale is this 1942 Willys jeep. This was inherited in a trust and I don’t have the time or space to bring it up to its full potential. these things are valued at $20,000 and even higher when fully restored. This one has a Buick v-6 engine, 4wd manual transmission. Sat in storage for 10 or more years, and now it’s time for the right person to put the rubber back on the road. asking $3000 but open for all offers. Must sell before property sells so bring offers to the table.”
UPDATE II: Thanks to Fred for finding a second video, this time in color. Besides the parade, it shows a few remaining snipers in Paris, captured germans, and other events.
I don’t know why, but sometimes the video comes up “video unavailable” within this page. If it doesn’t work, try this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1oVABc12js
UPDATE: Thanks to Fred for sharing the video of this event (original link here).

Barry went on a recent trip to Torino, Italy. There, he visited Italy’s National Auto Museum, where he spotted this Ford GPW. It was only one of three US vehicles in the museum.
He added, “Jeep is a big name in Italy since acquired by Fiat. From the marker it looks like they are trying to associate this with the modern “Jeep” name. Excellent display of over 200 European autos dating back to the late 1800’s”
Here’s a second image from Wikipedia showing a slightly different angle:
This is an exterior shot of the museum:
