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 .
Gayland shard this photo posted on the Navy Seabee Museum site that features Seabees working on a jeep and some other vehicles. The Navy’s Seabee website has done a good job of organizing its digital collections based on multiple factors (time period and location in most cases).
If you haven’t ever visited the museum, it’s located in Port Hueneme. We had a chance to visit back in 2014 while it was undergoing updates. I’m sure it’s even better now.
That flatbed truck on the left side of the photo looks like a White.
Dave……thanks for the heads up on the Seabee Museum from the archives and inclusion of the cool photo. When I was in the Navy during the late 1960’s, I always wished I could have gotten into a Seabee unit instead of bouncing around the ocean in a cramped old ship for weeks at a time !! My cousin did get into the Seabees at about the same time and it was a great tour of duty.
With credits to the Naval History And Heritage Command, the following: ” Over 12,500 African Americans served in Seabee units in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters during World War II, a group largely forgotten today. During the war these men not only built advanced bases and offloaded cargo, but helped break institutional conceptions of race, paving the road toward complete integration of the Navy. “
Navy bootcamp, Orlando, April, 1972. A Seabee came into our barracks and made a presentation to see if any recruits were interested in becoming a Seabee. One interesting requirement I never understood: A height requirement. I think it was 6 ft.
The height requirement was for the Coast Guard. In the event your boat sank you could wade back to shore.
