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: **SOLD** Was $5000

It sure looks like there is value in this truck. This might be lacking a title.
“Hello there,up for sale is a 1952 jeep willys truck,it is a parts vehicle only…this truck is in Awesome condition for its age.I wish I could keep it but unfortunately I rather have the cash to pay off my debt then a truck sitting around.the truck has a crysler 225 from the 1960 something.it still has the original transmission 4×4 of course.I’m sad to let it go as this was a project I really wanted to finish but now I cant.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(06/23/2013) While this may be titled as a 1949, only the serial number can verify if it is one of the rare CJ-2As manufactured in 1949.

This 1940s card seems appropriate for today. Looks a lot like a Slat Grille MB.
Steve found this unusual article about a soldier that lost his jeep and trailer. As punishment, his pay was docked by the cost of the jeep. Here’s a link to the original article.
But, not everyone played by the book. Here’s a story Steve found about a soldier who wasn’t going to put up with following the rules. It was copied and posted here: http://www.ww2f.com/topic/18434-paris-soldiers-vs-combat-soldiers/
A Soldier Strips the Romance out of Life at War
Post #188 Note:- Gen. J.C.H.Lee was known to Combat GIs as
J***S C****T Himself!! Not affectionately!!
A few days after I made the above post I recalled an incident
I was involved in Paris that showed the real difference between
their life and it’s absurdity that the Army allowed to exist.
A man in our unit was located by the Red Cross so that he
could be returned home as one of his brothers was KIA and
another lost his right arm and since the family was a farming
family he was needed more there than in the ETO.
