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 .
Buz found this picture on a biography blog post about Gregory Duncan. Here, Greg is pictured with Bill Mauldin, a photo neither Buz nor I had seen. You’ll notice “Up Front” stenciled on the front bumper, which is also the name of a book published that contains a wide variety of his drawings.
Great historical photo, of two great journalist who served with American heroes. For those who don’t know the significance of these two enlisted men, only Mauldin survived the war, though wounded himself by a mortar. Unfortunately, Duncan was killed in Anzio, pushing toward Rome.
The men in the foxholes often credited Mauldin with helping them to get through the rigors of the war. After a month of drawing for the “Stars and Stripes” newspaper, he was given his own jeep, in which he roamed the front, collecting material and producing six cartoons a week. This must be that very Jeep, with Duncan soon before lost his life.
This photo is a reminder of a terrible, but necessary war. And these two young man helped give the soldiers an outlet for their frustrations.
