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 .

Didn’t we just see this same post last week? I’m sure I commented on it.
C’mon – give Dave a break! These are busy days . . .
BILL O’Grady,
Not busting chops, just making a point.
Not sure about this one given the labeled year, but post war MP jeeps in occupied Germany were armored up similar to this because of snipers and such. While the war had ended, there was still unrest and rebellion in occupied Germany, especially the cities.
Mike,
Ugh … I see you are correct (literally 6 days ago)! Honestly, my website attention has been especially low the last few weeks. Where I used to check my email hourly, Now I sometimes only check it once a day.
Ann and I spent the last two weeks reading bill drafts and she was doing zoom meetings with house and senate leaders to secure the passage of an amendment to a bill that improves a victims of terrorism fund (http://www.usvsst.com), of which she is a part. Thanks to a lot of work by her and others, the bill passed with bipartisan support. It both injects money into the fund and improves the funding framework.
The fund was established in 2015 and was supposed to be supported through fines on banks and other institutions that do busy with countries that support terrorism; however, congress had been stealing some of those funds. Things should be righted and improved with the new bill.
