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 .
Jim forwarded this wonderful story to Derek who forwarded it to me. It’s a heart warming tale of a man and his jeep told by the man’s daughter. A mechanic by trade, J.B. Martin, from Richmond, Missouri, drove a ‘beefed up’ 1945 MB. According the article he is credited with taking “children home in a snowstorm, a doctor to a snow-bound rural home, his family for bobsled rides, and in two days got around 60 cars started.”

That’s a very cool article. I’ve seen tops like that in ads right here on E Willys.
Great article about what appears to be a great community minded man. Kind of wish it was still like that today. Roping off the street so the kids could go sledding. Imagine the liability of doing something like that in this day and age.
When I lived in Baltimore through 2005 my Willys Mb was one of the few vehicles that could get out in our big snowstorms. And we had a couple while I was there including the one that collapsed the B and O railroad museum (my MB was there for that disaster..). A friend who ran The Fire Museum of Maryland called me “The Hanson rescue Service” and in a big storm we would pile shovels in the Jeep and set out to dig out the museum and folks we knew 🙂
These type of things happened when times were tough and we needed each other. We will experience that again.
