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 .
Adam spotted this unusual Topeka Highway Mower. I’m now sure if there are any Willys parts on this model.

Darron shared this ad. At first, I thought it was a custom rig. However, it appears to be a J3M made by VAM in Mexico for the Mexican Army (learn more about VAM here). Darron also shared a photo (seen above) from a movie that featured multiple examples of this rig.
https://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/cto/d/roswell-1975-jeep-amc-truck-chassis/7429969191.html

Here’s another example of this vehicle found on Pinterest:
Here’s another example from the BigMackTrucks site:
Bill forwarded this article. Looking for a brand new, old school 4WD vehicle? Well, look no further than this Chinese/Russian BAW BJ212. Of course, while you may be able to buy it brand new, getting it to the states (or elsewhere) might be a challenge.

Listed as a jeep, I don’t see anything jeepy on it. Still, if you need a cheap boom-truck, maybe this is worth look.

TJ spotted this Mule.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1364443447251056
“M274 half ton 4×4 utility platform truck. “Army Mule” Testing the waters here not desperate to sell. About 11,000 made, unknown how many of these military utility ‘s exist? Motor will run but has a bad cylinder and dumps oil fast. This model has the Hercules engine two cylinder. 3speed manual with 2 speed transfer case. If I sell, would like it to go to someone interested in its restoration. This was a project my dad never got around to. Body is in pretty good shape. Four wheel steering with full time four wheel drive. Pretty rare ATV that will go anywhere. Popular with ranchers, farmers, hunters, forestry service many possible uses. Not built to be fast or comfortable but extremely durable and reliable. Serious buyers only. Price is firm.”

This seller added a few customizations to this Struck Mini-Beep. It’s the first one I’ve seen for sale west of the Mississippi.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $8000.
(12/27/2020) I don’t know much about these or what these are worth. Here, it is described as an M-151A2, but I couldn’t verify that the model number was used to identify this. My guess is that it’s built on an M-151 chassis, but that could be wrong, too. It reminds me of the lightweight airborne jeeps.

“Baja Jeep military rebuilt engine needs alternator ,lights ,and tires rare keep Selling don’t have the time to fix it up to many projects message me for more info”
This appears to be original, or close to original:

I’m not familiar with this model (not that I’m all that familiar with any of the models, but this one even less so).

“Rare Lightweight ex- British Military, right hand drive. Excellent mechanically with the exception of second gear which jumps out sometimes. Many new parts – brakes, suspension, seats, canvas top, paintwork.”
Nick spotted these two vehicles near Glen Cove in case anyone’s interested. My email issues with my main account delay our connection, so he can’t be sure if they are still available.

“I have a Jeep Kaiser m715 military truck for sale. This truck was later used by the fire department and has had a V8 Chevrolet small-block installed in it otherwise the drivetrain is original.
