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 .

“I am selling my 1955 Willy M38A1, that I have restored myself, not by a professional restorer and registered in Nueces County for $9,500. The engine, however; was overhauled by a professional mechanic. The unit has new brake lines, fuel tank, seat cushions and various other items listed below. I am interested in selling it to someone that is interested in the continued preservation of this rare military vehicle. It is 59 years old, therefore it is not in perfect condition and will be sold as is. It is asked that only serious interested buyers contact me at show contact info or text me with your name and number at same. These military vehicles are hard to come by and even those that are non-running rust buckets sell for a premium. Those who are knowledgeable about these vehicles know that these are off road vehicles and not the smoothest riding vehicles or the quietest riding vehicles. Vehicle is being sold as is, where is, with no written warranties.
Runs and drives.

(05/02/2014) This might be worth a look. Not running at the moment, but might not take much.
“I don’t know a lot about this vehicle at this point. My father and my nephew worked on this vehicle together. My father had paid someone to get it running and shortly after he got it running it was parked in the barn on a farm. I just recently went down to pick it up to sell it. I know that it is not currently running, but it was running before it was parked. My father has since passed away so I have no more information on the jeep. It is really very cool it is a must see.”

I’m going to take the weekend off. Next update will be Monday morning.
Today I spent some time doing some housekeeping on the site, including updating the WordPress backbone to the latest version along with all the plugins. Phone users (and everyone) can now search a little more easily using the ADV search link at the top of the page. So, if something doesn’t quite work right, that’s probably why.
Here’s how our Spruce Goose photo is supposed to look:
On another note, Colin shared an email with me that I altered into the story below. I don’t know about you all, but I warned Ann when we first started dating to tell me before she cut or colored her hair. I said I’d never notice. She’ll even point it out and I still can’t tell, but I can sure spot a jeep with just a glance.
A husband went to the police station to file a “missing person” report for his missing wife:
Husband : I lost my wife, she went shopping & hasn’t come back.
Inspector : What is her height ?
Husband: I never checked.
Inspector : Slim or healthy ?.
Husband: Not slim, can be healthy.
Inspector : Color of eyes ?
Husband : Never noticed.
Inspector : Color of hair ?
Husband : Changes according to season.
Inspector : What was she wearing?
Husband : I think it was red, but not sure whether it was a dress or a suit.
Inspector : Was she driving?
Husband : Yes.
Inspector : Tell me the make, model & color of the vehicle . . . . .
Husband : She was driving a harvest tan CJ-3A with a Buick V6 that generates 250 horsepower powering a Ford Toploader 4 Speed. It has a full cage colored a faux shade of aluminum. The winch on the front is a classic pre-Warn belleview winch held up by an ARB bumper that I customized. There’s a small scratch on the hood and a dent on rear quarter panel …..
The husband halted, then started crying…
Inspector: Don’t worry sir, ……. We will find your jeep.

On May 1st we drove home to Pasco. We didn’t stop anywhere, so there’s nothing to report. We landed in Pasco, tired, but happy about our great southwest adventure!
Thought there’s not much on this page, I wanted to save this page due to the comments on the bottom. The overview of the trip with links to daily reports can be found here –>
Marc found this fascinating photo. The description explains these jeeps were part of ‘Operation Roll Up’, a plan to gather up jeeps left in the Pacific Islands during WWII.
“This is an original press photo. Dept- US Army Service Corps, Credit – ACME & NEAPhoto measures 9 x 7.25inches. Photo is dated 03-18-1952.”
