About eWillys
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.
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 .

http://www.bevinalexander.com/korea/korean-war-photos.htm Brigadier General F.W. Farrell, Korean Military Advisory Group chief, confers on August 18, 1950, with Lieutenant General Walton H. Walker (seated in jeep), Eighth Army commander, during the height of the Pusan Perimeter battle. (U.S. Army photo.)
This video shows McArthur decorating Walker. Note Walker’s padded jeep seat.
This photo shows what I think is McArthur’s jeep (?). It isn’t quite the same as Walker’s jeep, but does have the same handle positioned over the cowl.
===================
General Walton Walker, aka “Johnny Walker”, was killed as a part of this jeep wreck. What’s curious to me is the mod to the area under the rear of the jeep (gas tank??) and the modified steps (don’t normally see that). You can learn a great deal about General Walker here:
It might have only one tire, but I suspect that soldier wouldn’t trade it for the jeep … well, maybe he would. The jeep’s a slat grille MB.
“1943- While his buddies ride in jeep, U.S. soldier uses bicycle, which only has one tire, and it’s flat, to get around on newly captured Makin Island.”

“1949 cj3a Willys running last summer. Engine runs good no smoke. Frame is solid. had plans to rebuild just have no time. Needs starter and fuel tank. Might be interested in trade for 4×4 atv.”
Eliecer from Florida is looking for a old junk inner windshield to salvage the center piece because his 1945 GPW is missing it (see pic). You if have something he can use, you can call him at 786-339-6292.
