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 .

Claus recently moved from South Africa to Namibia. As part of the move, he drove his restored CJ-2A to his new home. Reminds me of the Southwest.
He writes, “I drove my 48 all the way from Cape Town to my home town of Windhoek along dirt and gravel roads for a total of 1822km (about 1100 miles). Stunning adventure. The first 600km odd km’s up to the border was on tar road and mostly at night. I did that stretch, 589km to be exact in 11 hours with plenty of night driving, but I had to push it to escape bad weather which was following us from the south. The other 1200km odd km were just gravel road and I have a lot of pics. A friend joined me on the trip, didn’t think she would survive as it was wet and very cold at times but we had a blast. My jeep performed so well and I was so proud of her. Went at a slow pace no rush generally we were doing 100miles a day, find a farm were would could camp and off we went again – trip took 7 days.”
Marc spotted this unique press photo of Jack Price.

“4 x 4, 3/4 Ton, Long Box, Flat Head 6 Cyl. – 3 Speed Trans”
This might be worth a look. It appears to have a military plate next to the standard data plate.
“1951 Willys Jeep. I have had this for a few years. it runs and drives good. I have it registered as a classic and I use it as my runaround vehicle in the summer. I just rebuilt the transmission. It has a ford 170 straight six out of a 63 fairlane. It has the borg-warner T-90 3-speed transmission. 4×4 work great. tires are decent. I had big plans to restore this all the way but I dont have the $ for it and my parents want it out of their driveway. I have the original bucket headlights and soft top for it. and i had the seats recovered last year.”

(09/05/2013) This looks good.
“Factory “fresh air” heater unit.
Has thirty different grease fittings on the chassis.
Spare tire mounted on the right side of the bed is the original wheel design as the existing wheels are on the truck are late model aftermarket wheels. The spare tire is the original size tire used on the vehicle (7.00 x 16″). Four original stock factory wheels are also included in the purchase.
Brand new brake shoes, brake cylinders, brake springs and freshly ground brake drums. New emergency brake cables. New master brake cylinder. All new metal brake lines.
Gas tank was recently refurbished and resealed. Freshly rebuilt carb and fuel pump.
New radiator hoses and heater hoses. New points, condenser, plug wires, spark plugs.
All fluids (engine oil, oil filter, engine coolant, front and rear differentials, transfer case, transmission, oil bath air cleaner) recently changed.
Truck appears to have been in California all of its life as the title indicates that it was first registered in California. The body and truck bed are very solid though I noticed that the lower front and rear corners of the cab appear to have some surface rust or bubbles and the interior windshield frame has some rust where I think water or moisture may have gotten in around the windshield frame at some point in the vehicles life. The frame and under carriage as well as the fender well areas appear to be rust free as it appears that the truck was rust proofed or undercoated many years ago.
The truck was painted sometime ago as I can see indications of “Bell System Green” color under some spots.”

Ron Dennis spent a few days exploring southern Colorado in his M-38. Sounds like he had a great time and had some beautiful weather. Sebastian compiled Ron’s photos and descriptions into a post at the Flat Fender Club of Butler’s website. go there to see all the pictures and Ron’s thoughts:

Here’s a photo of Ron at Black Bear Pass:
Note the jeep is a Willys MA
Here is are a couple photos of a jeep building over time:
This good looking jeep likely has a Bobcat body. The license plates suggest the jeep is in Nevada, but the VIN/ID plate is from Washington. I’m surprised this only has a Dana 41 rear. Is that a thin air cleaner between two steal plates.
“This is in Excellent conditions. Fun for going off-Road up to the Mountain. This has a Dana 41 rear, with 44 rebuilt rear ready to go in. Dana 25 front. 11″ brakes. 2 1/2″ lift. Custom nerf bars. 8000LB. Winch. Seats extended 8″ in to the wheel wells for leg room. 8000LB Winch. Tilt Steering Wheel. Power steering. Opt roll cage. New aluminum wheels. Tow Bar comes off easy. High back seats. Dual exhaust. Upgraded heater. Bikini-Top. Air-Lock emergency brake. EXTRA: Dana 44 rear end is rebuilt and ready to install. Fiberglass high hood painted to match. Fun option to change the look. Priced to sell fast. Check this one out. Remember You Pay NO Sales Tax! Call me for more information. (key # A10)”

This might be a rare Beck or Kemco Half Cab.
“this is a half cab that is sitting on a 54 CJ3B, might fit others, not sure.
