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 .
Just a couple updates for Friday.
John forwarded this website and videos from the Convoy of Liberty, 2017, from Pilsen, Czech Republic. Many jeeps were involved in the parade, along with other military vehicles, some not quite of WWII vintage (like at least one M-38A1).
This link is to the event’s website: http://slavnostisvobody.cz/en/
This video looks like it was an ad(?) for the event:
And this was one of several videos showing the parade:
Craig spotted this one.

Listed as a 1946, it has later model parking lights and a 3A windshield, but a 2A body. I don’t recognize the hardtop.
“Jeep for parts or repair…..all complete but untested. Has complete drivetrain..”

Quite the front bumper. Look like a sears hardtop.

“frame was sand blasted and painted new lift kit 2.50 in new brakes/ lines / new steering parts / new gas tank/ lines and pump / new int. And gauges / 12v alt. Painless wiring / stock drivetrain 4 cyl. 3speed trans. / new body / jeep runs great.”
In case anyone’s curious, this is how Patterson’s vacuum reservoir is setup. Based on what I’ve read, a reservoir was important if running dual wipers. The vacuum begins at the manifold, then winds down under the body.
It winds up underneath to a reservoir tucked in between the frame and the spring for the parking brake.
This is a close up look at the TRICO valve on the reservoir.
This is a not so perfect illustration of how it mounts. Because of the support channels on the floor of the body, the reservoir had to be shimmed down about an inch. The solution was a set of three nuts between the body and the reservoir. Continue reading
Some photos show VECs, while others show later models.
