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 .

John shared this information. Y.P. Tom, pictured below, sounds like he had an interesting life story. Tex Hill is also pictured below.
This is a photo of Mary Tom O’Neil’s dad, circa 1942. He passed away in 1999. She lives in the Atlanta area. I had a great day with them and some other TWA people in the ’90s at Rheinbeck Airdrome, NY. Great WW2 stories!! The note and book page are self explanatory.
UPDATE: Below is a press photo related to the article at the bottom.
“1944 Press Photo Y-Force Operations Staff carrying parts of an disassembled jeep

American lend-lease jeep, disassembled on one side of a Chinese mountain, are brought over mountain trails to the Burma Road for assembly. Standing beside the road is Capt.
