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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .

This one might have a Beck or Kelly half cab with an extension added on to cover the remainder of the tub. Looks to be an ex-service station jeep.

“I picked this up from the family who had owned it since 1957. It appears to be very original, converted to 12 volt electrical, I welded in a lot of new metal on the exterior of the tub, I replaced the floor pans and the hat channels as well, new fuel line and tank, new brake lines and wheel cylinders too. New exhaust as well, I have had it running on carb cleaner…sounds good…no smoke either…it will need tires…bring a trailer”

Bill shared this article about a WWII jeep found in France that was brought back to Luverne, Minnesota. The jeep has become part of a documentary about kids of a paratrooper who were invited to France to ride in the jeep and follow the trail of their father’s experience after landing in Europe on June 6, 1944. The jeep now resides and can be seen at Luverne’s National Guard Armory.

I tried to locate a trailer of the documentary, but didn’t have any success.
An owner of a collection of vintage jeeps in Chadron, Nebraska, posted to Facebook noting that if anyone near Chadron wanted to see his collection before he sells out, well they should get ahold of him. He expects most jeeps to leave the state. Maybe he will also consider some offers? He doesn’t mention when he plans to sell.
Here’s his post: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/488619174090896
Bill shared this video interview of a former CIA agent who claims that when he was working for the CIA in Vietnam, there were at least three colors of jeeps. Not sure if buy “jeep” he is referring to M-38A1s, M-151s, or something else. The CIA used emerald green jeeps, while the Army had Olive Drab jeeps and Agency for International Development (AID) gray jeeps. You can listen to his description at the 9:40 mark of the video.
