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 Make Offer.
It’s worth something, but unclear just how deep the rust is. Too bad it sat in the barn, because it looks pretty stock.
“FOR SALE A 1946 WILLYS JEEP.. BEEN SETTING IN A BARN FOR OVER 30 YRS..IT’S ROUGH BUT MOSTLY THERE FLATE HEAD MOTOR. WHEELS ARE LOCKED UP . AND NO TITLE.. BEST OFFER!!! THANKS”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This includes an overdrive. It might be worth a look.
“Complete small block V8, overdrive, needs work been sitting for a little while. It ran when I parked it where it sits. Steering linkage needs to be fixed.”
Brian invited me over to his house to meet Brian and see the a new Barn find: A 1943 MB. They found just outside the tricities area. It’s got some hat channel issues, but otherwise is pretty solid. It’s also has an engine that Brian got running today. It’s a great find and, except for a lot of very cold wasps, will make a great stock MB. Since they live nearby, they’ve promised me a few additional adventures that include hunting for jeeps. I look forward to that.
Here are a couple photos taken by my favorite photographer (Ann of course). In front of the stock MB is Art’s recently purchase M-38, which looks and runs great. A former Navy Seabee, Art has decorated his jeep to reflect his time in the Navy. Behind that is the ‘barn find’ and then behind that is Brian’s flattie.
And here is one Brian and Art took early of their jeeps on a hill somewhere in the hills somewhere near Kennewick.
Roberto shared the following, along with his newest drawing:
“I send you one of the comics drawn for French bimontly magazine “4×4 Story Spécial Jeep”, translated to English, This is the comic published at issue 46. The subject of the comic was the employ of the jeep during the vintage of wine at France. After WW2 many army surplus vehicle were employed by civilians and of course, at the areas devoted to the well known French wines. In fact, there was at least one winery commercialised a product called “Jeep”. One video at “You Tube”:

Guy spotted this M-38 on the January 14th, 2013, episode of Hawaii Five-O. He managed to grab the below picture. He also found extra links or us too (thanks!). It looks like someone has smeared dirt in places to give it that ‘rough’ look.
He reports on the right is Steve McGarrett, played by Alex O’Louglin. On the left is Chin Ho Kelly, played by Daniel Dae Kim.Link to info about this new version of Hawaii Five-0: http://www.cbs.com/shows/hawaii_five_0/about/

Maury forwarded this link about the double-wide wrangler. Someone else did too, but I’ve managed to misplace that email.
UPDATE: This is back on eBay
This looks great. Lots of good detail photos on eBay. The restorer passed away, which is the reason for the sale. This is a no reserve auction.

Walter forwarded this link. It looks like part of the door has been indented or punctured, but that’s where the gas filler is located.

The tub appears in good shape. This looks like a light fiberglass model, maybe acme or AJs?
“Fiberglass jeep tub $1200 o.b.o”
Thanks to Warren for forwarding this lead. Perhaps it is more accurate to call these mini-jeep trains, but just outside Freeport, Maine, there is a CJ-5 and CJ-7 that still pull tourists in a tourist-trailer around the sand (which I think they call ‘narrated coach tours’). You can learn more about them here. I managed to find a few photos of them on Flickr. It looks like there are two different coaches.
