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 .

Goose spotted this beautiful Crosley. Not a jeep, but still pretty cool.
“In 1950 Crosley Motors introduced the Farm-O-Road truck. The truck was street legal and there for could be used on both the farm and the road. Crosley built the trucks for 3 years from 1950-1952. Exact numbers of how many of these trucks where built are unknown but the Crosley club believes around 600 where produced.

Very new tires in original spec.

This April 14, 1941, article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette shared an article about “American-China” support of the army’s new Blitz Buggy, a Bantam BRC-40.
I was able to pull out the text on the caption.
Training Soldiers of Mercy: A Tiny jeep car is converted into an ambulance by the deft(?) place of stretchers at the front and back by soldiers in training at the Medical Field Service School, Carlisle Barracks, PA. This method of transporting wounded is recommended for short distances. Physicians and first aid men serving in the United States Army must carry the fight on disease and wounded not only in hospitals, laboratories, dressing stations and test tubes set on the front under enemy fire. Trainees at the school learn to succor the wounded and fallen through actual field work under simulated conditions they would see in battle. Ingenious methods are used to speed first aid, transportation of the wounded to base hospitals and removal of wounded from the field of action. 9/3/42
