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 .
The August 03, 1942, issue of Life Magazine has an article about Transport Planes. The article includes photos of some GPWs. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t want to be wedged in there next to the jeep during a bumpy flight!
You can see the entire article at Google Books
There is a copy of this issue on eBay as well.
That c-46 has the same paint job as a plane here in Monroe,nc. The one here is called “Tinker Bell” it’s taking part in a Veterans Day event this weekend. I wonder if it’s the same plane?
Oh, and happy Veterans Day to all the veterans out there! Really, appreciate you guys and gals!
Mark. What about the number on the tail?
Looks pretty tight inside that fuselage. Wonder how they turned the Jeep once they got it to the top of the ramp.
Blaine, I don’t know about the number but that strange wavey paint line between the dark top and light bottom is exactly the same. I know paint changes over the years but the one here also has the same patch panel between the 2nd and 3rd windows. Maybe they all had that.
It was such a modern looking plane for the time. I really like it.
With all the grab handles on the old Jeeps, maybe they had the GIs simply pick it up and move it into position.
Not a patch panel after the second window. It’s a removable hatch.
