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 .
If nothing else, this is a good parts jeep.

“This is a great piece of history that I have owned for 1976 till present day. It is not perfect as the pictures will show but much better than average for its age. It shows about 20000 miles and I believe that to be accurate it has had all the typical rust of an old CJ that I repaired in 1981 and some of it is starting to show in places . It has a great CJ 3A windshield on it and I also have a CJ 2A windshield frame that needs much repair that you can have with it . I have converted it to a 12 volt system for better starting other than that it is mostly original from front to back it has new brakes and rebuilt brake cylinders so the brakes are as good as good as any CJ2A . Their are some holes drilled in the dash for light switches otherwise the dash is as it should be. And the exhaust system is stock and has a fairly new muffler on it as well and the engine will start and run on the coldest of days sometimes when nothing else will start. I hate to let it go but the time has come for someone else to enjoy it.”

. . . this photograph seemed appropriate. Boy, that jeep is has got some mud on the underside. The photo itself is from a 2×2 Negative and was a press photo of some kind.

UPDATE: Downey also wrote this 1944 article.
I finished reading “Jezebel The Jeep” last month, a fun, quick read written by Fairfax Downey. Mr. Downey was a writer and military historian who served in both World War I and II. During World War II he went to North Africa, the same place he sends the book’s protagonist. The book, only 150 pages, tells a story about a soldier, his jeep, and the difficulties the soldier faces, both personal and professional.
The book’s prose is accompanied by sketches from Paul Brown. I’ve included a few below, scanned courtesy of John. He enjoyed Paul’s work so much he digitized all the drawings, many including jeeps. You can see all of them at John’s Google+ page. Also on the page is a piece of ‘Jezebel’ jeep art featured on the cover of Adventure magazine in 1944, an issue that included Mr. Downey’s story.
Here are two separate listings for jeeps in French.

This looks interesting. I have no idea what the value is.
“This is an absolute amazing find! Pot-metal coaster made by Dale Model Company; 1:25 scale. Rear spare tire has “Dale Model Co Chicago” cast into sidewall. Underneath rear has “JEEP” cast. Star on hood. Paint has chips (see pictures), but appears to be original. Wheels roll; and steering wheel turns. Measures roughly 5.25″ x2.5 and heavy – weighing roughly 14oz.
During WWII, similar models were used for training spotters. At the end of WWII, Dale purchased the molds, and converted to the toy (recognition models). These models are difficult to find, especially in this condition.”
UPDATE: Was $8900. **SOLD**

It seems to have a tick . . . can’t you just burn a tick off? Maybe it isn’t that kind of tick.
“1948 jeep restored but has a tick? $10,000 it is nice.”
