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 .

Ann and I and my boys are camping near Lake Stevens for a day and then will be up at Deception Pass for a couple days. I expect updates will be spotty, but I’ve got a few things to read for Sunday.
I authored an article for Mark Smith’s War Jeeps site on five major trips undertaken with a Ford GPA Seep. It was a fun article to write. During my research I learned that Helen Schreider is still alive and living in Santa Fe, New Mexico. There’s a producer working on a film about her. The producer volunteered to ask her some questions I composed, but I’ve yet to hear back form them.

Tim Evans and his son Kyle attended the MBPA convention recently. This year it was held in Louisville, Kentucky. They had a great time. Tim forwarded a few photos. If you want to view more photos, check out this link http://bensimage.smugmug.com/Events/MVPA-2014/
Here’s an article about the 2014 convention from militarytrader.com.
1. Kneeling before their M-38A1 is Kyle on the left and Tim on the right. My jeep can bring me to my knees at times, too 🙂
2. Kyle poses in front of a M-715 ambulance that was for sale.
3. Tim and Kyle pose with General Patton impersonator Denny Hair.

I happened across this rare set of tracked jeeps made by O’Laughlin (a person or a company?), or it could just be one jeep with successive modifications. I only uncovered a few photos photos and very little information.How experiments on this related to the M-28/M-29 amphibious Weasel are not clear to me, but they appear to have been parallel projects given the Weasel research was begun in 1942.
I found this photo of the tracked jeep at a Cargo & Personnel Carrier site:
http://mailer.fsu.edu/~akirk/tanks/UnitedStates/cargo-personnel/cargo-personnel.html
I found a thread on an argentine model site where someone constructed a look-a-like model.
http://kalkin.foros.ws/t12174/olaughlin-modified-jeep/
This could potentially be the same jeep as above, only it’s rear area has been altered. I can’t quite read the numbers on the hood in the top pic to know for sure. 
Finally, there’s a page about a tracked jeep at 42FordGPW, but the page never refers to either vehicle as a Modified vehicle. Perhaps someone can add to this info?
Paul spotted this photo at the “Just a Car Guy” website. Given at least some of these are Slat Grilles, I’d guess this was taken late 1941 or early 1942?
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000

No title.
“1948 Willys CJ-2A Jeep for sale. Very nice condition. This Jeep was totally restored several years ago and the original flat-head engine was replaced with the later model and more desirable CJ-3B Hurricane engine that was produced from 1953-1964. At the time of the restoration everything was either rebuilt or replaced. Jeep has been driven very little since. 4×4 and everything works great. Needs nothing. Great for the farm, ranch or deer lease and cheaper than a 4wheeler. Soft top is not in the picture but is included. Lost title, Bill of Sale. Title can be obtained with a little leg work.”
