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 .
Here’s an unusual photo of a Bantam BRC-60 dressed in white.
“1942- U.S. Army peep and other vehicles with all-white camouflage during experiments conducted at Fort Brady for combat in winter conditions.”

UPDATE: Mystery solved. I found a couple brochures about this top. They were published in a 1947ish Willys Overland Equipment Book (thanks to Jon for letting me scan that particular folder). The suicide doors were original to this top. Examples of The Boston Top below:
he first two photos show Spencer Landers’ top on two different jeeps.
Close up of the corners.
These photos show more examples of the top:
Has some diamond plating in the cargo area and some stainless over the engine.

(11/26/2014) The V6 in this jeep isn’t original. Some items don’t work. Overall appears solid.
“-1954 Jeep Willys
-Rebuilt Dauntless 225 V6, believed to be the original motor
-Has est 6400 miles on rebuild (past owner kept written record)
-Rebuilt original manual trans, 6400 miles on trans
-Odom reads 6600 miles as these are the resto miles on the entire rig with exception of the motor and trans and they have 6400
-Has been sitting last 12 months, we clean old gas, carb, and changed a few minor parts to make it run well
-This drives like a 1954 CJ of it’s day
Looks solidly refurbished, but not fully restored.
“This is a classic 1946 Jeep Willys that had been fully restored. The original motor has been rebuilt, and it has been converted to a 12v system.”
