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 .
Listed as a 1943, it appears to have an M-38 body. Looks like this could have been a racer at some point (given the team relay flag holder on the cage).

It even has co-op front tires. With the rear mud flap I too would say it was an old racer at some point.
I’m suspect that engine has been souped up a bit givent he carb. A few mods and this might make a fun old fashioned racer.
4 cyl. chevy engine??
Could be Colin. Maybe a 153?
During the late 1970s/early 1980s the large number of jeeps at PNW4WDA races led to organizing jeeps by engine cylinders (4/6/8/) and whether they were modified. Modifying Fords and Chevy inline 4s became popular, though not always all that successful. It was fun to check them out and see what how folks were doing to them. One of the fastest jeeps I ever saw was a drag jeep called Rapid Transit out of Canada. It had a Pontiac 4 cyl that screamed. I once bought a fiberglass racer from the late 1970s that had a 392 transformed (by removing half the cylinders and part of the block) into a 4 cyl. That was a patchwork of welds like i’d never seen on an engine and intake manifold! I wished I’d taken pics of that one.
