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 .

Gelatin silver print, civilian uses for a Jeep – pneumatic tools, 1945-1946. 2013.0327.1256.
Fred Coldwell or Bill Norris would probably have a better handle on this photo, but the Jeep is an Agri-Jeep, with the brass nameplate JEEP on the windshield frame, chaff protector on the grille and the tractor tread tires, spare mounted right behind the right side door opening. Looks like very early CJ, with MB style headlights and parking light openings. My guess is somewhere around July, 1945 when Willys did a lot of advertising for Jeeps using experimental and or military styled Jeeps. A lot of those phots showed stenciled numbers and letters on the front bumper; ie: EX30.
The full photo of this Jeep shows the X26 number on the left front bumper. This is an Agri Jeep, with the brass “Jeep” affixed to the windshield frame, the tractor tires, the spare mounted behind the right door opening and the MB stle grille and headlight openings, with the chaff guard. Probably a publicity photo done around July, 1945 as part of the publicity campaign Willys was doing for the introduction of the CJ Jeeps.
