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 .
These photos appeared on Facebook, though some have made the rounds over the years. The pics that really caught my eye were the wooden test body pics. Kaiser Willys has some history and more pics on these wood-bodied test jeeps: https://blog.kaiserwillys.com/the-wooden-willys-jeep-test.
The remainder of the wrecked jeeps:
Photo number 10 shows the wrecked Jeep with Lieutenant General placard. Anyone know who this might have been?
Hi Joseph, about the time you posted this my puppy chewed up a model jeep ambulance which took me weeks to build correctly. When I saw how she had done it, I thought, save it, one day you might want to use it in a diorama about a medical ambulance that had run over a mine. Just last week I started it and this will be an amazing help to me both on this one, and a future Jeep wreck so thanks a lot!
Sincerely,
Cliff Leverette
Hi Joseph, thank you for posting this. Ironically, back in 2020 I had a new puppy chew up a model jeep ambulance which had taken me weeks to build with a casualty on stretcher, etc. When I saw the chewed up model I thought I needed to save it and one day create a diorama about a medical jeep which had run over a mine. I started it last week and when I saw these photos they are of immediate help to me. Thank you so much.
Nothing like being there years late, but to answer Joseph’s 2020 question…it was Lt. Gen Walker, killed in that Jeep in Korea.
His accident was the subject of another post here.
