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 .

“1957 jeep fc 150. Pretty good condition I think for its age and very hard to find. Whole jeep is painted with spray paint for quick and easy touch ups if needed.New tires less than 500 miles on them. Runs good and and drives nice. Has 4 cyl hurricane motor with a 3 speed manual tranny. Missing the windshield as u can see in pics.Needs a little more work to be finished but is drivable the way it is.”

Given the winch, this may be worth a look.

“You’re looking at a really nice Willys Jeep CJ3B. The jeep is in overall great shape. It has the 3-speed transmission with hi-lo shifter as well as 2wd-4wd shifter. Runs & drives good. Clutch is good. Shifts properly and stays in gear. 4-wheel drive works as it should. Brakes all gone through, body and frame in excellent condition, new gas tank, new seat cushions & covers, newer battery, suspension gone through, and a fresh coat of paint. A couple of the gauges aren’t working, but otherwise everything works as it should. The body doesn’t look the greatest (lots of dents and dings), but it is rust free and painted. New floor pans, body mounts etc., were installed before the paint job. The frame is also remarkably rust free. Tires are like new. Hope to get all the fluids and gear lubes changed in the coming weeks, but if I don’t, I’ll include all the gear lube I bought for it. Also comes with a box full of spare parts and a spare tire/wheel that hasn’t been restored yet.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.

UPDATE: I’ve added some more pics of what might have been General Walker’s jeep. It shows some of the modifications made to it.
http://www.bevinalexander.com/korea/korean-war-photos.htm Brigadier General F.W. Farrell, Korean Military Advisory Group chief, confers on August 18, 1950, with Lieutenant General Walton H. Walker (seated in jeep), Eighth Army commander, during the height of the Pusan Perimeter battle. (U.S. Army photo.)
This video shows McArthur decorating Walker. Note Walker’s padded jeep seat.
This photo shows what I think is McArthur’s jeep (?). It isn’t quite the same as Walker’s jeep, but does have the same handle positioned over the cowl.
===================
General Walton Walker, aka “Johnny Walker”, was killed as a part of this jeep wreck. What’s curious to me is the mod to the area under the rear of the jeep (gas tank??) and the modified steps (don’t normally see that). You can learn a great deal about General Walker here:

It might have only one tire, but I suspect that soldier wouldn’t trade it for the jeep … well, maybe he would. The jeep’s a slat grille MB.
“1943- While his buddies ride in jeep, U.S. soldier uses bicycle, which only has one tire, and it’s flat, to get around on newly captured Makin Island.”

“1944 Ford gpw military jeep. The jeep runs and drives good, It has 4 new military tires on 4 original combat wheels. It is a gpw motor. The fuel tank is original and has been taken out and professionally redone. I believe the top is also original to the jeep. All the lights work 4 wheel drive works and brakes are good too. It still has the wood in the hat channels but they are rusted. Windsheild is extremely nice. The motor is still 6 volt and is original. It has rust where tool indentions are(see pics). The starter is not that old. It does have a heater but they cut a small hole in the dash to do it though, not to bad of a fix. It has a clear Missouri title.”

“To the best of my knowledge this is a 1947 Jeep CJ2A. Other than a couple very small spots
it is rust free. This is being sold for parts only as there is no title or paperwork. It had been sitting
in a storage lots for over 30 years. It is missing the driver fender and other small items so look
closely at the pictures because what you see is what you get. The transmission/transfer case and
mount is included. Also is the adapter to mount it to a FORD smallblock such as a 289 or 302.
The frame looks fine and also included is the back half of another CJ2A with the complete rear
axle and fuel tank. The tires are completely shot but it has 4 nice matching wide rims.
The steering is not hooked up and ther body is not bolted to the frame….”
