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 .
Jan Shafer shared this flashback photo from the Iowa Highway Patrol. Those look like two well-maintained M-38s.
That’s way too cool! As a former, now retired, LEO, I once used my personal M38 to patrol the fair grounds during an annual county fair. Military was giving these out to government agencies in the 60s and early 70s as they were replaced by M38A1s and M151 series Jeeps. The 3 officers at the Jeeps are Auxiliary (reserve) officers – volunteers who put their lives on the line assisting the regular troopers as well as working special details. The trooper next to the cruiser is a regular IHP trooper. A quick internet search reveals that IHP must have done away with their Aux program at some point as it’s not mentioned in any form on their web site. This often happens in departments as standards for service start to mirror the regular officers and volunteers don’t have the time for the training or requirements. The military maintained these well. IHP would have maintained them well. I bet they still exist out there somewhere. Neat to see this both from a Jeep and Law Enforcement view.
Today’s government release programs to LE include CUCVs, HUMVEEs and MRAPS.
