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 .

In the rest of that video, the Willys wagon cranked right up and drove away.
Didn’t need the headlights that night however.
Now that I think of it, it’s too bad Bert I Gordon didn’t get his hands on this footage, it could have been the opening for the “Amazing Colossal Jeep”

Let’s see if I remember my html well enough to make that work!
Steve: Thanks for the link.
Neil: It worked 🙂
Looks like an M38 in that pic, think I see bulging headlights and guards.
Regarding that video, that looks like a great way to strip paint!
