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 .
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/08/2019) A military tribute jeep. Looks solid. The drain holes have been filled, but that may have been to make it look more like an MB.

“Willys Jeep with a military style paint job. Original engine, ran mostly in parades these last few years”
I always wonder why a person wouldn’t just get military Jeep rather than taking what appears to be a fairly original 1946 VEC and dressing it up be MB/GPW. Even now the war Jeeps seem to fairly easy to find.
My opinion was at least until a few years ago it was easier to find a fixer-upper 2a than a world war two jeep and the price was cheaper on the 2a’s but in the last couple years prices on everything still seem to have gone up quite a bit.
For most folks, I think Dave is right. 2As have definitely been cheaper (and all jeeps have jumped in price), so they make more sense financially for folks who want a military-like jeep.
But, there are also folks who think all jeeps were used by the military (a number Craigslist ads suggest this is the case), so they just didn’t know any better.
Additionally, other folks may have had 2As already and militarized them because they were cheap to alter.
Finally, a guy back in 2010 who bought and sold jeeps told me he had the most success selling CJs if they were painted Olive Drab. It didn’t matter if it was a CJ-2A or a CJ-5. He would locate a cheap, modified CJ, pull off the mods, refurb it, paint it OD, add some military garb, and sell it.
I think I’ll get a ’57 Corvette, paint it OD , put on a Star and sell it as a WW2 army jeep .
