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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5200.
The hubs appear to be Cutlass PowerLocks.

Replaced plugs, plug wires set, point, rotor, condenser, distributor cap, (12-volt system) starter drive, thermostat, replaced exhaust manifold, rebuilt carburetor, replaced oil and fuel filters, replaced all fluids, i.e. antifreeze, transfer cases and transmission.

Not sure how much value is here. It’s listed as a 3A, but has a 2A body. It could have a late 2A frame or a 3A frame.

Gwen’s selling this tractor: I would like to sell my dad’s empire tractor. He has been gone 20 years and we just aren’t using it enough here on our farm. I’m sure someone else would enjoy this, and the tractor deserves some love! You can email her at gwenandyoda @ gmail.com (remove the spaces around the @).
This 8.5″ x 11″ brochure from Kelly Manufacturing is from approximately 1960.
UPDATE: Better quality scans have replaced the poorer images.
This rare 1-page Shenco sales brochure demonstrates that the Cab Enclosure Hardtop was available outside the military, which I hadn’t known. This does explain why we’ve seen this version of a top on some non-military vehicles.
UPDATE :**SOLD** Was $4300.
Seller is moving, so it’s a must sell item. Looks like the hardtop doors have been modified to allow for more visibility.

(04/01/2020) Mechanically, this looks like it’s been thoughtfully restored. I’m just not sure how the restorer figured out what the “correct WWII Olive Drab” would be?

Some random vintage photos of Jeepsters on eBay:
The Duffield Intermediate School was featured in this January 29, 1944, photo in the Detroit Tribune after successfully enough war bonds and stamps to buy a jeep.
