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 .
Joe shared these pics from the Fort Miles Living-History Group (261st Coast Artillery/1252d Service Command) participation in Bethany Beach, Delaware’s, Independence Day parade. The pics were taken in the parade form-up area. The group included both WWII & Post-War military vehicles.
Great photos !! But nowI have a question, rear bumpers. Which way is correct? flange up or flange down?
The WWII Jeeps had the flange up as noted in many WWII pictures and in Volume One of ALL-AMERICAN WONDER. The bumpers in the illustration of the MC-38 Willys (Korean War Jeep) in ORD 9 SNL G-740 ARMY SUPPLY MANUAL show the flange down. This is the way the bumpers are installed on my MC-38.
I notice the M151 is down also. I thought up was correct, so it wouldn’t grab the dirt so much.
Thank you 🙂

Must have been pretty cool seeing these guys all drive by. And it must have been cool to all drive together. Nice 4th of July for sure.
The weather was hot and sunny for the parade. Having to travel several miles both to and then from the parade is always problematic given the high volume of visitors vacationing at the beach were we have to “sit in traffic” like everybody else, which is fine. Just to make things easier this year, we decided to travel in a convoy which “apparently commanded respect” all along the route where we were given priority passage at traffic lights no matter the color of the light and not one car even dared cutting into our ranks. We found this to be both heart-warming and highly unusual and had an excellent time at the parade. And it certainly was an honor for us to form-up directly behind the DE Army National Guard vehicles and band at the front of the parade. Now we’re looking forward to our next event together.
