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 .

Doug spotted this solid looking restorable MB/GPW. It appears to have combat rims, too. It is listed as a 1946 Military Jeep.

“VERY NICE WILLYS JEEP CJ3B WITH 52200 MILES ORIG.ARIZONA/NEVADA JEEP SOLID,NO APPRECIABLE RUST. 3SPD, HIGH/LOW RANGE TRANSFER CASE 4WD. I’VE HAD IT A LONG TIME AND IT’S A GREAT JEEP BUT IT NEVER GETS USED ANYMORE. ORIG. WHEELS COME WITH IT ALONG WITH MANY SPARE PARTS. RIGHT NOW IT NEEDS VERY LITTLE WORK. THE HEATER IS OUT AND NEEDS TO BE CLEANED UP AND REINSTALLED PLUS I HAVE A SPARE. THE BRAKES NEED TO BE BLED BECAUSE I JUST REPLACED A BAD WHEEL CYLINDER AND ALSO HAVE A KIT FOR THE MASTER CYLINDER. RUNS GREAT BUT THE TIMING HAS TO BE SET BECAUSE I WAS SETTING IT BY EAR AND TURNED THE DISTRIBUTOR TOO FAR NOW I CAN’T START IT. NOTHING NEEDS TO BE REBUILT. WITH SOME MINOR WORK YOU HAVE A GREAT OLD JEEP. I JUST DON’T HAVE THE TIME TO WORK ON IT.”

Larry forwarded me an ad for the Sawyer Motor Car Show in Saugherties, NY. He included a few pictures of his CJ-2A, so I asked him to send me some more pics.
He writes, “These pictures were taken on the 4th of July. The gentlemen in the passenger seat is Joe Sinnotti a WW2 Navy Seabee. I was asked to put some Stars and markings on my jeep. Funny how a lot of people don’t know the difference between a real WW2 jeep and civilian one. My family and I enjoy driving around town. I have heard ‘hey look at that old army jeep’ plenty of times and have had plenty of pictures taken. I cant stop at a red light or park without pictures being taken. I love it when dads take their kid’s pictures by it. I tell them to put the kids into it — boy what a smile they get! Hope years from now they can look back with fond memories.”
Thanks for sharing Larry!
Larry’s son just got his driver’s permit. I suspect their will be some competition for the driver’s seat 🙂
Marc spotted this classic poster on Flickr.
I’m sad to report that Terry Ackert passed away last month. He ran the Jeep Farm in Kingston, NY. We had a chance to meet him in 2011. Tom forwarded this obituary. Below is the summary of our visit with him.
(Published Nov 17, 2011) This past Monday Andy took us over to meet Terry and tour Terry’s ‘jeep farm’ in Kingston, NY. The entrance to the farm is a jeep tour in itself, requiring a good solid hill climbing vehicle as the jeep farm sits atop a hill like the summit of some holy jeep mecca. In fact, the entrance is guarded by two luscious beauties … two barbie jeeps that have, admittedly, seen better days. Once we reached the farm, jeeps began appearing in the woods.
Terry has been collecting jeeps for years and, even despite the rainy day, relishes what he does. While Andy, Terry and I talked, Ann was busily exploring the scene for the perfect shot. I’m not sure she even knew it was raining, because she was in her ‘photo zone’. Terry was impressed enough that he gave Ann a little tootsietoy jeep (which needs some rebuilding). Though we didn’t get a glass of wine on this visit, as the rain discouraged socializing, if you visit him on a nice day he just might share a glass with you. Give him a call at if you need some parts: 845 657 6692. Thanks for taking time for us Terry!
Terry and I pose. I like his eyeglasses holders.
Here are a few pictures from the our time there:
Here is Ann’s first ever jeep (left), given to her by Terry, and Andy’s more complete version of the Tootsietoy jeep:
