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 .

I just noticed this ad.
“I will be at the Military vehicle collectors swap meet tomorrow, Sunday the 14th with original WWII Jeep parts and other Military items. The swap meet is at the AMVETS of Irwindale at 14910 Los Angeles Street beginning at 6am and ending around 11am. It is not a big swap meet but if you need WWII Jeep parts or are a collector of vintage Military items this is the place to be! Look for a Desert Tan painted Jeep Comanche with matching shell! Here is the clubs website and the swap is held the second Sunday of each month! http://www.scmvcc.com”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Estate Sale.
Doug just spotted this ad. I’d say three look like CJ-3As and one looks like a DJ-3A.

Guy found these videos with jeeps and nuclear blasts. Here’s a wagon before and (seconds later) after a blast (see 1:00 minute mark of video)
Here are a couple more vids he found.

Nate’s got this IHC Titan running. Check out how he starts it.
Marc spotted this interesting letter. It sold on eBay last month. It goes to show that even hard top makers were having problems finding material to build their aluminum top.
UPDATE: **SOLD** This is an early GPW sold on eBay.
“this Ford GPW was the 10,584th GPW built, and is one of the last ones made with a Willys frame. It has just been completely restored and has only four miles on it, it runs good but is some missing items like seat cushions, filterette, pioneer tools, oil can, canvas top, one J hook and some of the radio suppression straps. Most of the big parts are original and correct, and it has the original floorpans though they have been patched a little and the fuel tank well was replaced. The significant reproduction items on the jeep are the rear seat, spare tire rack, front bumper, air cleaner, horn, speedometer, oil/temp/amp gauges and data plates. Fenders, hood, windshield, fuel tank, front seats, radiator, grille, regulator, generator, fuel strainer and starter are original. The battery is new but not an antique style, it also has either period or new bolts in about three dozen places there should be F marked bolts, other than that this jeep is very correct. The jeep is registered non-op and has California plates and a clear title, it also comes with the original speedometer that should be repairable. The headlight switch is an original and has been not working correctly, it may have to be replaced if I can’t fix it in the next few days.
The tires are the repop Firestones, and all of the rims are original combat type, I do have a couple more radio suppression straps that are not in the photos that were installed later under the hood.
This is you chance to get one of the rarest GPWs made, in nice shape and ready for parades, reenactments or with some modest amount of parts and work a factory show jeep. If you have questions or would like more photos please ask, thanks for looking!”
This runs and drives. Starting bid $1000.

Hurricane super flat 6 with only 27k original miles. Numbers matching and starts on the first try every time. Come with various replacement parts and, two extra fenders and bumper brackets.
