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 .
Here’s a neat photo from the NPS archives which appears to show a GPW (based on the bumper) parked in front of a B-25H. This was possibly taken in the Aleutians somewhere.

Here’s a photo of Howard Erwin Rummel in front of a jeep from the same archives:

Cool pics. Our grandpa was on Attu in ’43; his group was supposed to go to Africa. Oops. That’s a great link. Some of those NPS pictures are on Attu (e.g. Massacre Bay). Based on the photos I’ve seen of Attu, I don’t think that one with the B-25H is on Attu, but could be one of the larger Aleutians like Unalaska.
Here’re some pics of WWII life on Attu, one with a Jeep:

Great photos yes and thanks for sharing.
One question though, in the photo of the attu/jeep what are the shoe like boxes on the right hand fender with round fittings on them ??
