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 .

It sounds like this report and soldier had a very uncomfortable ride in the “roman rack”. I am a bit surprised that the jeep garnered so many laughs. Note the BRC-40 in the top pic. The article appeared in The Morning Call, out of Paterson, New Jersey, November 22, 1941.
This is the first time I’ve heard the term Jeep applied to a prop storage box. This article appeared in the March 04, 1941, issue of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Could be some value here.
“1950s FC jeep complete engine turns would probably run without any trouble cab is definitely savable the doors open and close good asking $2000 obo”
The more complete jeep has a gear shift that appears to the driver’s side of the transmission gear shift. That could be a crankshaft PTO engagement shifter. The hardtop looks similar to a Porter and Reed, but the front of the roof doesn’t slope down at the correct angle. I’m not sure what top it is.

(12/07/2020) Given the grille, this is likely a 1947 or later. It’s a project that hasn’t been run since Kennedy was president.

“1946 Willys Jeep project. Very original and complete. Last plated and ran in 1963. Body and frame in really good condition overall, rust in hat channels and toolbox, floors are good, has a repair on the passenger rear where tire carrier usually messes them up, has all 5 original tires and wheels, has the original soft top frame bows and most of the hardware , have the remains of the cloth topt with door frames and metal window ports , i have never seen these before, has all data tags and vin plate, the is no original title. I do have a title from a jeep i scrapped, but it doesn’t match this Jeeps vin tag. Looks like water got in the tranny and it is stuck, engine doesn’t turn either but coud be because of the transmission . Carburetor is missing they gave me one but it doesn’t fit. Great start to a complete restoration”
