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 .
Tom shared this Tux Park. I thought the body looked in great shape (especially in the back), but then I noticed on the driver’s floor what looks like a floor patch.

Maybe someone can use this chassis that Steve spotted?

“I have a 1944 MB frame with axles. The frame has bubba repairs in the front and some minor rust on the rail. I’ve seen worse repaired. The axles were fine the last time I drove it. I do not have a title.”
This video is from the 2020 Fall Color tour and is narrated by Rick Pewe.
“Day 3 – Colorado Flat Fender Fall Color Tour The group divides for 2 different trails today. Join us as we cruise the Willys Lane on the way to Marshall Pass and we send Liam on an epic shelf road adventure to over 13,000 feet above sea level on Mt. Antero.”
This framed Jeep Gala Map brochure sold for $130 on an online auction (plus an additional $23% buyer premium and whatever shipping cost). I stopped at $50, as the map has a variety of ripples in it.
This Wellingon Jr. stamped lighter sold at auction for $45 on eBay the other day.
UPDATE: Still Available.
(06/26/2022) This has a Beck half cab with the model plate and serial number.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/5359696840717402
“1947 Willys CJ-2a civilian Jeep. Titled Parts or restorable. 4×4 53,000 plus miles Half metal cab Appears to be complete. Engine turns over. 12v conversion but needs rewiring and a battery. Needs all glass except rear cab. Rear differential is locked up. Front wheels turn free. Drive shafts are disconnected but included. Previously listed with rear PTO. I’m retaining PTO (and drive shaft to PTO) and reducing the price accordingly. Gear box and shifter for PTO remains on the transmission. $2,950 cash only, as-is, you haul.”
The seller doesn’t mention it, but this appears to have a fiberglass body. Has a rear PTO and gearbox.

Given the price, the running engine, and the working plow, this seems worth a look.

“1948 Willys CJ2A. Has a 1946 grill. Generally an original and unaltered original Willys jeep. No engine or transmission. Steers good. Rolls good. A good starting point for an original restoration or installing an updated engine. Frame seems to be in good condition. Engine mounts have not been altered or cut. Frame has not been cut. Body is descent but like most of these old jeep bodies, it has issues. Would make a really great hunting, trail, or farm jeep. Bring your trailer and come take a look.

Bill shared this article about SS-Obersturmbannführer Otto Skorzeny and his failed attempt to use captured jeeps against the allies (though the second part fo the article about the jeep name is less informed based on the research I’ve posted). There are also some neat stories in the comments, including this one:
“The Hollywood actor David Niven was assigned to Montgomery’s HQ as a frontline liaison officer. Thanks to Bradley basing his 12th Army Group HQ too far on the south end of his operational sector Ike decided to reassign Bradly’s two northernmost armies, the First and the Ninth, to Monty’s 21 AG. Monty sent Captain Niven on a fast jeep drive intended to meet with each divisional and regimental HQ of those two armies with, information, codewords, radio frequencies, etc — stuff they needed to quickly integrate with their new AG assignment. Not being a hardcore baseball fan he had trouble getting through one roadblock until he mentioned his date with Betty Grable. The GIs let him pass with advice to “bone up on baseball, Dave!” Niven’s driver was Sgt. Peter Ustinov.”
Here is David Niven in a jeep years after the war for the movie “Before Winter comes”:

Buz is selling this unique windshield frame for the M-38. He has the paper work from the Government and work order to document its origins. Contact Buz Kanzenbach via phone 757 403 9964 or email buzkan @ att.net (remove spaces around the @).
“Split M-38 windshield excellent shape. This is a rare item! Authorized By Order of the Army, The Secretary of The Army. When it was broken during the Korean War it was transferred from a 1 piece two a 2 piece, to save glass. I know of only 2 frames in existence.”
Here are a few others from the archives that might be M-38 split windshields
1) This M-38 appears to have one: http://www.ewillys.com/2010/05/07/year-m-38-mount-vernon-wa-4000/

Jim forwarded a FB post showing that the folks that bought the Bradenton, FL, jeep parts store has listed the contents at a price of $1.25M. (we previously discussed the sale of the store contents here)
There are some wondering vintage toys and signs and parts, but I expect that price will drop. The expense to identify, inventory, pack, ship, unpack, post online, and ready the parts for shipping is a massive and expensive undertaking I would imagine, which drops the value. That said, I sure would like a few of those toys and signs though!

Roger Martin bought this cool, Marine-made jeep.
He wrote, “I bought another Jeep. It was built by marine in August of 1948. He was a machinist on a ship during the war. The wheels are made out of solid brass. The toy is pretty heavy. I bought it from a guy yesterday who bought it in 1970 from the widow of the original owner that built it. The Marine that built it worked for Fisher body in Cincinnati, Ohio.”
Has a variety of mods. Has on overdrive.
