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 .

We were still doing that in Vietnam. Our Army engineer company acquired an “extra” jeep. I was assigned to during inspections, which thankfully were few, to just go out and drive, so it wasn’t there. Theft was normal, we acquired needed parts for heavy construction equipment when the normal channels failed by hook and crook. I had a 200′ oxy acetylene hose/ torch, I had the job of crawling into the chain link fenced city block sized scrap yards that had already been auctioned to the Japanese and cut off the parts we needed – got a little dicey a few times
I used to steal CJ10 tugs all the time when I was in the Air Force. We needed them to move bomb trailers around when they were dropped off in the wrong place. I’d steal a tug, move the bombs, then take the tug back. Sometimes 6 hours later. We also stole lots of parts from other units when we needed them. Pretty common practice.
