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 .

The ad suggests that perhaps the buyer can decipher the VIN, because they couldn’t. So, it’s a little surprising when the sellers note they have experience in ‘All Aspects of the Auto Industry’! Apparently, that’s true expect when it pertains to vintage jeeps perhaps?

Taken by Life Magazine photographer Frank Scherschel, I found this photo at the picturesdotblog site. Note the use of the parking brake! Also note the “press” sign on the front of the jeep. Do you suppose the wire cutter on the front of the press jeep was cut so that it wouldn’t interfere with photos?
Jeeps (including a press vehicle) in the town square, Marigny (Manche), Normandy, 1944.
A view of the same town seventy years later (thanks Tom!):
This article about the creation of mobile border control searchlight jeeps was published in the April 1956 issue of Willys News. A similar article with additional photos appeared in the February 1956 issue of Globetrotter.
Steve forwarded this early video. I would never want that hand drill duty!
It appears the August 1946 issue of Fortune Magazine has an interesting Willys Overland article.
“This complete Fortune magazine is in really nice original condition. The cover has no edge tears or creases, but there is a scuff on the right and bottom edges. The lower left edge shows minor scuffs. The illustration is vivid against a clean background.
The spine has minor scuffs at the top and bottom. The magazine is still securely bound. As I thumb thru this magazine, the inside pages appear clean with no tears, creases or dog eared corners. The back cover has no edge tears or creases. The illustration is vivid against a nice and clean background.”

No guarantee all the pieces are there.
“This is a nice vintage 1941-47 Tuco Picture Puzzle, “Willys “Jeep” Used in Attack”, 300-500 pieces. Tuco – “T” he “U” pson “Co”, was a subsidiary of the Upson Company that produced 3/16″ wallboard for home construction. Their puzzles originally sold for 69 cents, and are “extra thick” pieces made from their wallboard that were extremely popular. The company survived the depression by making puzzles on their wallboard when construction dwindled. Box is very good; pieces are excellent. Believe puzzle is complete; no odors or damage. Very nice, clean, estate item. See pics for details. Questions, please email. Will combine shipping on multiple items. International bidders please email before bidding to determine shipping costs. Good luck bidding!”
