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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
This is still a project.

The seller lists this as having a 1945 title and matching VIN plate, but I don’t see any evidence it was a 1945. There’s been some repairs near the drain hole areas. The front frame rail on the driver’s side appears patched.
“For Sale: Really neat little 2-A for sale. Runs like a top and does not use or burn oil. Body has been sheet metaled on side and floors very neatly Military strapped frame with the bullet parking lights. Just bled brakes, etc and all guages work except fuel gauge.

This might have been a civil defense jeep.
“Truck Utility 1/4 Ton 4X4 M38A1 Del – 8/1952 #16453
I drove this jeep, when I got it back home in 1991 down are street and up a hill, 4 wheel drive worked. Later the gas tank started leaking so I parked it in my garage.
I always want a military jeep! I had brought back home a beautiful wall unit with Japanese Soapstone Oriental Carvings on it. I found this jeep in the paper and traded that wall unit. I just have not had the time or money to restore it. I hate to let it go but I could use the money more. I do not want to sell it so only SERIOUS BUYER please.
Thank you”

Just this update for Tuesday. With our ‘blistering’ 95 degree day, I thought it would be a good idea to give Biscuit a bath on Monday. Amazingly, the kids thought so too. Kasia and Colter even helped!
Here’s Colter using the compressor’s air nozzle to blow out the pine needles inside of it. Pine needles get into everything around here!
Colter went from working to supervising Kasia. She listened to her music (note the earbud) and ignored him.
Once we got done washing the jeep, we decided to do a little jeeping.
This is the back gate from the road to the pasture.
Kasia took over the camera while I drove Colter, my niece Holly and my nephew Tommy all over.
There’s only about an inch on either side of the jeep as I navigate between the stump in the foreground and the fence in the background. If you don’t like scratches, this isn’t the place for your jeep!
You can see we hug the fence. This is why I’m doing the driving! Not that I haven’t hit the fence once or twice . . .
This is another stump that has to be rounded. The rear passenger wheel must be placed against it and then when the gas pedal is pressed just right, the tire bumps the stump and gets kicked out to the right. At least, that’s the theory.
