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 .
UPDATE: MIke has a toy that looks similar to the ones below, only it is branded differently (shown at the bottom)
Does anyone know if United Airlines had any real jeeps that looked anything like these in terms of coloring/branding?

My brother works at United Maintenance Base in San Francisco and he said a 2a was running arround the base. I have what was once a CJ3B belt loader. Still has the United Hobbs meter on the dash.
What is a United Hobbs meter?
Do you mean the 2A is still running around?
Thanks,
– Dave
Dave, Hobbs is an hour meter

Thanks … I think I should attach one of those to my computer. Wait, there is probably an app for that . . . .
