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 .

I have not information on the rest of these:
Probable 92nd Infantry Div.
Probably 92nd Infantry Div.
I would love to hear the story of the jeep parts being carried down the hill by civilians.
Mark,
I’ve seen that photo before. One caption related to it suggested it was from Jan 1, 1939 (Getty), which we all know is untrue. So, that calls into question the rest of the text which reads, “Chinese soldiers and labourers carry parts of an American leased Jeep over mountain trails for re-assembly on the repaired section of the Burma Road in China.”
There’s another example (possible followup photo) here: http://avax.news/pictures/17025
There are a few more jeep photos (and other cool Burma photos) on this page. I assume all the photos were part of a NatGeo article: http://www.cbi-theater.com/national_geographic/land_route.html
I wonder if all parts got re-installed and torqued to factory specs?
Sorry, I should have stated the Buffalo crossing sign was probably the 92nd Infantry. There nickname was The Buffalo soldiers.
Larry, that makes sense 🙂
The marking on the carried Jeep I believe is the 1st Air Group that was active in Burma and China in the latter part of 1943 thru 1945….
