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 .

On Sunday, we didn’t participate in the ritual Sunday drive through Cuyahoga National Park. Instead, we headed for Gettysburg. However, I was able to get a few pics from the ride:
As folks toured in their jeeps, we exited Hudson, Ohio.
Sunday’s drive from Hudson, Ohio, to Gettysburg.
As we wound our way through Pennsylvania to Gettysburg, the toll roads lightened our wallets to the point we were considering taking out a bank loan. In addition, we encountered clouds that were as thick as fog as we traversed a few tall hills. Isn’t it summer yet?
Finally, it seems the only photo we took all day was a blurry photo a barn. On the bright side, we got a killer deal of $51/night at a Marriott hotel using Priceline, so we plan to stay two nights in Gettysburg.
Tomorrow we will see the Gettysburg battlefield and museum.

“THIS EXTREMELY RARE AND ODD! This is your opportunity to own WW2 GPA AMPHIBIOUS 1/4 ton! Well, kinda! 🙂
You are bidding on an FORD GPA data plate but this data plate has been factory stamped and mounted on a GPW glove box! (someone was probably drinking on the assembly line that day)
Anyways, what you are bidding on is glovebox door with three data plates and a matching # stamped section of frame. I will also include a bill of sale if you need.
The data plate and frame section is stamped GPW 115416 and the data plate has a dod of 5/3/43. Unfortunately the jeep that these went to was parted out before I got to it.
Again this data plate is a real oddity and something very unique. I’d speculate this is likely the only one in the world.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000
Jack spotted this ad. There can’t be too many running Jeepsters in Hawaii?

It runs. I have no idea what these are worth in Hawaii.
“1953 Willys Jeep 4cylinder, Ready to restore, running condition, some rust but not that bad. sorry no a/c with this one, but it has a radio.”

<– Day 12 & 13 – Wed. May 15th & Thurs. May 16th: Mixers, Foodies & Heavy Equipment | Trip Overview | Day 15 – Sat. May 18th: At the Reunion; A Brick Shy of a Full Load –>
Friday morning we awoke in Hudson, Ohio, a short distance away from the reunion, to a beautiful sunny day. I spent the morning honing Saturday’s presentation. I will be sharing with the audience (assuming more than just Ann shows up) why I run eWillys, how I do it, the challenges, and what the future holds.
On Friday afternoon we made our way to the Clarion Hotel where the 2013 Midwest Willys Reunion is being held. After a quick practice run through the presentation with the slide projector, Ann and I went out to look at all the jeeps.
It seemed every few steps we took someone approached us to share how much they enjoyed eWillys. It’s great to know the site is enjoyed by so many enthusiastic readers and it was fun putting names to faces and shaking hands.
As you can see from the pictures, there were plenty of jeeps to browse today. More are expected tomorrow.
Here’s an unusual postcard from Quaker Oats. The riders in the jeep are Terry and the Pirates by Milton Caniff.
“1946 government postal card postally used. Some corner wear. Slight bends at lower corners. Hard to find.”
