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 .
Blaine spotted what appears to be a jeep in the background of this Three Stooges movie. The jeep appears at the 1:08 mark and is shot from a couple angles until the 2:35 mark.
Can you spot the jeep and what model does it most look like to you? To me there are elements that make it look like it was originally a jeep, but it also has some elements that don’t look correct for this particular model.

As both a Jeep and Stooges affection ado I love it! Dave, this was fun! And the special effects like the large round coming through their position.
But to answer the question at hand, No. it’s not a Jeep or the remains of one. It’s a backdrop painted by Columbia’s art department. I moved this almost one frame at a time trying to find otherwise to no avail. Nothing is to scale. No tool box lids or hood block holes etc. etc. This technique was common in their Shorts and done very well, probably often using material already in their warehouse. And want to see their mastery at special effects, watch that large round in slow motion pass through their position.
Again, it’s a painted backdrop, nothing real of Jeep there.
Just like the backdrop of the buildings in minutes 14+.
Now I’m seeing the guy’s shadow upon the Jeep. I was too busy looking at the details of the Jeep. Now I see his shadow casts an outline as if the Jeep is flat (as in painted backdrop).
Scary to note how many K-W afficianados are the same about the Three Stooges. There’s a doctorate in here for someone
Bill – How true! Probably because we’re from a simpler, practical, non-politically correct era. We have a very large Willys Jeep library here at our business. Nestled within are 5 or 6 volumes on the Three Stooges
I’m glad this was a hit!
I wonder wutt percentage of us mimic Curly’s, “Woo woo woo woo, whilst out in the snow doing donuts.
