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 .

Adam shared this news: In two weeks seven 40s and 50’s Willys jeeps will be traveling 1900 miles to Easter Jeep Safari. They take off March 10th from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and arrive in Moab March 21st. The website and Facebook page will have daily videos and pictures from the journey. The willys will then be on display at Moab 4×4 outpost all week. Let’s wish them luck. I’m sure they’ll have some memorable adventures.

UPDATE: Jay has got this book for sale. Comment below for more info.
It is Jeeper’s Jeep by Francis Baker. Here’s the description:
“Tokyo: Toppan Co, Ltd, 1949 FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING, of a charming collection of satirical genre prints à la japonaise: These are meant to represent some of “the humorous experiences of the occupation which the Jeep–certainly a symbol of the period, has enabled it [ie, the Occupation] to see.”
The author has recorded her impressions of American occupied Japan and various scenes of the occupation as she travelled the country by Jeep.
In all there are twenty-four prints accompanied by doggerel couplets on facing pages, together with two additional prints on the covers. The artist is best known as Frances Blakemore. She grew up in eastern Washington and worked mainly in Tokyo (both before and after the war), where she founded the Franell Gallery and published the standard Who’s who in modern Japanese prints (1975).
Binding: Publisher’s quarter red boards, color-pictorial sides, pictorial endpapers, all edges trimmed & plain
Condition: Spine barely chipped, inside clean, joints cracked but holding, outisde has shelf wear. AN UNUSUALLY VERY GOOD COPY of a scarce and fragile book.
Pictures include front and back of book, inside cover page, one of the full page drawings, and prologue.
Very rare I know only of one other in existence
51 pages 24 full-page color illustrations 179 x 262 mm, 10 1/4″ x 7 1/4″
