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 .
Marc spotted Bruce’s Surrey website. It’s a great place for surfing and learning more about this rare jeep!
What’s strange about this 1946 article is that it doesn’t show an ‘Army Jeep’. It shows an early CJ-2A. Anyone know where this article appeared?

What’s on the front of this? Or, is that some type of funky grille?

This picture appeared in the May 9, 1958, edition of the Baltimore Sun. The horse’s named was Belle Jeep. She never race, but her son, Jewel’s Reward, became the leading money-winning juvenile of all time (at the print of the article anyway).

Ed shared this vintage photo of Paul Parker racing up a Calgary, Canada, hill climb in 1970. Paul was the creator of the Parkette fiberglass body and this was his personal jeep. On the driver’s side over the terra tire you can just see the Parkette side stripe.
Marc spotted this mini-jeep on Flickr. I haven’t seen any other mini-shriner jeeps that I can remember. Anyone else seen one of these?
I have seen a similar body shape made out of fiberglass for racing. But, this appears to be metal.

This is a one family owned CJ-2A bought new in San Francisco. It’s a column shift. It appears solid. It has an Allstate Half Top.
“This is a 1946 CJ2A that was purchased new by my Grandfather in mid 1946 in San Francisco. It was his only vehicle up until the early 60’s when he bought a Simca which was easier on my Grandmother to get in and out of. I have owned it for 25 years and it last ran 10 years ago when I put in a fresh Carb and a new gas tank. I drove it up under the canopy at my auto restoration shop and it is still there. The engine is NOT stuck and should be easy to start. It is a very easily restorable vehicle and is one of the rare jeeps with the 3 speed shift on the column. Jeep went back to all shifts on the floor later in the model year. The Sears Allstate cab was installed in the early 50’s and I have the original canvas doors as well as some of the rest of the canvas coverings. I also have the original sales contract that will go with the Jeep. I have long wanted to restore this for myself, since I learned to drive on it. However, I have come to the realization that there will never be the money for me to do it, and my son really has no interest in it or a place to keep it when it is done, so it is time to get it into the hands of someone that will re-do it and enjoy it. Pretty much any and all parts that might be needed are available.
Payment will be $100 deposit paid with PayPal within 48 hours of the end of the auction. The remainder needs to be paid with cash or CC within 30 days of the end of the auction. I can keep it right where it sits for 6 months with no charge to you, and if you are not able to handle the restoration yourself, we might discuss my doing it for you. To see what I do, go to buzzardroostmotors.com . Feel free to call me, at 870-421-1693 days or 870-425-8507 evenings to ask any questions you might have. My web site has all my contact info and my email address so you can ask for more pics if you want. I can deliver the Jeep anywhere in the US for $1.25 per mile one way. I am in north central Arkansas.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9000
No perfect, but looks solid.

The body of this Jeep is in excellent condition. Engine was rebuilt by excellent mechanics. Water pump is not new but appears to be fine. New thermostat, new starter, generator checks good, new radiator and belts, new springs for a slightly softer ride, transmission and rear-end rebuilt – new seals, etc., new wheel bearings and seals, new tie-rod joints, etc, all lights work except right tail light (have not checked out problem), new wiring harness, 24 volt system.
ISSUES: Carburetor air-wrong pipe between carburetor and air cleaner, grill needs to be adjusted to be vertical, fuel gauge doesn’t work – could be gauge or fuel-sending unit in gas tank (new fuel-sending unit on hand), temperature gauge – installed a new sensor in engine block but it still doesn’t work…gauge? sensor?, Amp meter gauge doesn’t work., 3 data plaques need to be attached (plaques and drive rivets on hand), Brakes-everything is new or rebuilt – new brake lines, new brake master cylinder, new brake cylinders, drums radius ground but still brakes are not as good as they should be – glazed? Hard linings?, Lights – right tail light is not working, Engine timing needs check, Carburetor low speed adjustment needs check, New windshield wiper motors installed but wiper is inoperative – should check valve and connections-could be vacuum pump-may need rebuilt kit?, New tires but wrong size…7:00-16 should be 6:00-16, two small holes in seat covers – daughter stood on seats with high heels during Veterans Day parade-bad move -otherwise all seats are new, emergency brake works but not correctly-wrong brake cable, horn is hooked up but honks constantly-short?, no top canvas or side curtains, I have the 2 original doors but canvas needs replacement. Mileage: 200 miles since rebuild.
Note: I started the project in 1993, to build the M38. I acquired a 1952 CJ5 that had a near perfect body and modified by adding the battery box in the cowl and adding all the hardware to make it identical to a military Jeep. Bought and had a top-noch rebuild on an original engine. Purchased new or very good original accessories such as starter, generator, etc, new paint and markings of the Jeep I used in the Korean War. If the issues I’ve listed were addressed, the Jeep should be identical to a true military issued vehicle. I used the CJ5 Title to license as an antique vehicle.
