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 struck me as an odd add, so I figured I would forward it. Someone in New York City is hunting for jeeps, though for what purpose isn’t clear.
“Military Jeeps Wanted:
MB, M38 , GPW , M38a1 , M170

“Selling my 1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A. original engine with only 74,000 miles. these jeeps are hard to find especially early years like this one. the engine turns over but needs work to finish but everything is there. the interior and the exterior has been re-done. truly a nice car. clean title in hand. asking $4,500 O.B.O open to offers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000
This likely has a replacement body. It also seems to have an early CJ-2A grille. Engine is out.
“For sale is my beloved Willys Jeep. Here is the deal. Jeep ran and drove perfect for years. The oil pump failed and overheated and cracked thge block. I pulled engine and was able to locate an engine on ebay that had very little time on it but had got a bit of water in one cylinder during storage. I completely dissassebled the engine. Honed the cylinders and cleaned engine perfectly. So the engine needs to be rebuilt with new pistons and rings but everthing else is fine. everthing is included. Crank and cam and all internals.”

Don photographed this MB/GPW with some modifications. He seems to be feeding his jeep habit, that is when he isn’t enjoying motorcycles and food.
Marc found this MB/GPW at Photobucket. It sure has some unusual mods.It was probably being turned into a sedan like these.

The FJ-6-like vehicle is actually built by Studebaker. Thanks to Ron for clarifying what it is.
“Here is your chance to get one of the coolest mini step vans ever produced! A very nice 1963 Studebaker Zip Van. These vans are one of the rarest of all the small step vans and super hard to find! They were only produced for 1 year and were only made for the US Postal Service.
This one is in great shape! New Midnight Blue Metallic and Silver 2 tone paint, brand new windshield, like new ultra low profile tires mounted on Boyd Coddington aluminum wheels. Just tuned up, new plugs, plug wires, distributor cap, rotor, choke cable, air filter, oil change, oil filter, carburetor rebuilt and new fan belt. All work and paint completed in the last 30 days. This van runs, drives, shifts and stops the way it should. Keep in mind this Zip Van is over 50 years old and is in no way a perfect restored vehicle.
UPDATE: I am surprised this is still available.
Shouldn’t last long.

(06/06/2015) The turbo 400 tranny has pushed the transfercase back a ways. That rear driveline must not be very long.

“Selling two 1952 M38A1’s. Project started on the red one frame is original with no repairs just sandblasted and coated in POR15. Body is in fantastic shape.

One his way through Cuba, New Mexico, Don stopped at a Mexican restaurant called the Cuban Cafe. He recommends the food. The owners are Margie and Bob. Margie drives a 1972 CJ-5 that belonged to her father.
After Cuba, Don drove to the Durango, Colorado, area. He’s had his eye on this M-38, but the seller won’t sell it. The jeep continues to sit outside in the weather.
This show a couple of fallen soldiers next to the jeep.
“1944- Two American soldiers lied dead next to their Jeep that was struck by German machine gun fire during the Normandy invasion. Number on hood is clearly readable.”
