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 .
Even though Willys had won the contract, you can see they were still running the Ford GPs through their paces.

Note that in November 1941, before Pearl Harbor, the press refers to the vehicle as a ‘Jeep”
The confusion among the press on what to call the jeep probably mirrored the confusion among the military as to what it should be called. These two examples highlight this more. A June 1941 article called it both a “blitz buggy” and a “jeep” http://www.ewillys.com/2015/02/07/1941-photo-of-ford-gp-at-camp-hunter-ligget-ca/ . Yet, a later article in December of 1941 doesn’t use the term jeep, referring to it instead as a “truck” and a “reconnaissance or scout car”: http://www.ewillys.com/2016/06/30/1941-article-about-fords-pygmy-production/
