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.
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 .

If you zoom in on the picture you can see on the first two jeeps the small holes in the face of the bumpers in line with the frame rails that indicate that these are Ford GPW,s not Willys MB,s.The Willys bumpers only had the crank hole in the center of the bumper.It,s hard to tell but I think the third one in front behind the standing chief or officer looks like it has the small hole indicative of a GPW as well.
Lester, you are absolutely right. I used the term MB, but didn’t really investigate the picture. Thanks!
Ya learn something new every day. Thanks for the GPW facts, Lester.
I love the old photos you find, Dave. Keep throwing them in once in a while.
