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 .
That’s some serious mud!
“WWII Line of U.S. Jeeps Bogged Down in Mud on Ledo Road in Burma Press Photo”

War is a terrible thing, and I fully understand the soldiers were just trying to reach a goal under less than ideal conditions. But funny captions are funny, and it is so easy with some of these old photos.
Do most of you find attempts at humorous captions acceptable, or sacrilegious in some way?

I’d say it’s a fluid situation that depends on the particular photo, person, etc.
Did you know there’s an international Society for the study of humor (I didn’t): https://www.hnu.edu/ishs/
Robert Heinlein wrote about why people laugh in his book Stranger in a Strange Land.
“I’ve found out why people laugh. They laugh because it hurts so much . . . because it’s the only thing that’ll make it stop hurting.”
They used these jeeps in Burma until recently. Long after the WWII ended. They got another 60-70 years of service. Some to this day!
