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 .

unfortunately there were no jeeps at Pearl Harbor yet to help save the day
Neat toy. Coincidently, another one identical on ebay also came up when I clicked on the link. That one for half the price, if anyone is shopping…
I’m at. Pearl Harbor today for the 79th …
Yes, there were no MB here Dec 7, 1941.
The footage you see on TV was created after the fact at Barber Point.o
I read there only 2 survivors left from the Arizona……..damn……
John, I can’t say I’m too surprised there’s a cheaper one. I didn’t do any research into others. There was nothing special about this one, other than it highlighted the Pearl Harbor attack.
Keith: but there were jeeps there … I saw them in the movie Pearl Harbor! (https://www.imcdb.org/v033989.html A Ford GPW no less, 3 months before being released to the military, lol). Side note: I always wonder just how much of our history and our views of the world have been incorrectly shaped by movies and advertising. For example, just our generally accepted view of Santa Claus, large man with white hair in a red Santa suit, is an advertising creation reinforced by books and movies. There’s probably an interest book to be written on the topic.
