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: Was $1800. **SOLD**
(03/02/2012) Yep, that looks like a project.
“I have a nice project jeep i started but cant finish it has a vortec v6 4.3 liter engine, manual tranny with twin stick, have most parts for the jeep, included in the price is a matching jeep trailer this is one of kind for the right person to restore”
I was a little delayed in posting these pics from the swapmeet a week and a half ago, so I will push the pics of the WAAAM visit off until tomorrow. At the swapmeet there were a few pics of jeeps and racers I wanted to include in this post. But, I couldn’t leave the booth because the two times I did leave readers dropped by to say “hi”. My faithful photographer did make it out to snap some pictures, getting wet in the process, but couldn’t quite read my mind as to which pictures I wanted; Of course, my mind, like the rest of me, was cold that day, so I doubt there was much going on inside my mind for Ann to read.
As you can see, the booth design was compact, but efficient. Herm was nice enough to give me some front space. In exchange I even managed to sell something for him while he and his kids were off purchasing all kinds of deals (and he found a couple of astonishing deals on parts). I have books, tshirts, signage and, most importantly, warm liquids.
In this picture you can see Herm wheeling and dealing on the phone, with his son Richard to his right, and their friend Dan to Richard’s right.
Here is a good example of the type of trailers that are brought in by sellers. Trailers are piled with as many parts and pieces as they can put on them. The building in the background is full of sellers and is only one of several buildings. Many more sellers were outside.
Here are some great photos taken by Dan Routh. You can see the other two photos at his website: http://danrouthphotography.blogspot.com/2009/06/willys-jeep.html

Here are the first three issues of Jeep Comics from 1944. As far as I can tell, only three issues were created with jeeps on the front (at least, I can’t find any others). You can these covers here: http://superitch.com/?p=14130

UPDATE: Was $1800. **SOLD**The grille suggests this is later than a ’46. The body looks decent, so this might be a good price.
