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 .

My father is on the passenger side of the Jeep second man from the front in the dark uniform. We have known this for a while I do have the picture from the magazine but we have seemed to misplace the magazine throughout the family. Today I have located a fella that might have the magazine and I will purchase it. His name is Charles Lee Miller. I do know Cabbage Patch with quite a few of his friends from the service over the years many years. He died about an early age of 61.
Thanks for the note Chuck. It’s always great to learn more details about the people in these vintage photos. Your father must have had an amazing experience (good and bad) during his service.
This magazine is also for sale on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=November+30th%2C+1942+Life+Magazine&_sacat=0
