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 .
This less than accurate restoration of an M-38 sold for $49,500 in 201. Then, just last month, it was auctioned for $67,500, though a portion (no note on how much) of the proceeds was supposed to go to a military charity (it remains unidentified).
Interestingly, Hagerty Insurance valued it at $10,500, which seems a pretty fair estimate.

If the machine gun is functional (unlikely), the price is a lot closer to reality (although still high).
There’s a sucker born every minute
To quote CRAZY EDDIE, THE PRICES ARE INSANE!!!!!
Wow, so if I pile a bunch of stuff on to my $20,000 GPW, it’ll be worth $67,000? Time to hit the swap meets.
As I was reading the comments, the following thought came to mind; In the old days, auctions would plant what is known a schle, in the bidding audience to bid and drive up the price. Knowing this and taking into consideration the insane high prices being paid at Barrett Jackson auctions, I wonder if this is a possibility. Yes, the fact is that these auctions attract rich buyers, but even rich guys want to hold on to their money.
