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 .
It’s got the wrong windshield. It’s also got a pretty thick step.

Is that a B windshield? No vent and looks too short.
its O.D not army green and it would be a military jeep not army the marines used jeeps the most
Hi Kameron,
I think it is clear the seller is stringing together words not knowing what they are really saying. However, given that the Army Quarter Master General directed the development of the 1/4 ton and ordered most of the vehicles, it isn’t that unreasonable to call them ‘army’ jeeps.
As far as color goes, again the seller isn’t very versed in the topic, but the answer itself isn’t as simple as Olive Drab. In fact, some of the jeeps delivered directly to the Marines were painted Forest Green at the factory, according to this thread:

I don’t have any documentation that directly shows which branch of the military used the jeep more during WW2, so I’d welcome any links you have on the topic.
Thanks,
– Dave
