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 .

(10/02/2012) “This is a Willys Jeep with original transmission and engine. It has a canvas top, large interior heater and gun rack. All gages work. Some NOS parts were used. Kit body was used. Some things on this jeep are not original issue such as, converted electrical from 6 volt to 12, fan, distributor has been upgraded for electronic ignition and start button upgrade. These things were done to make the jeep more reliable. The engine has 209 miles on it. Everything has been done on this. This Willys is from the restorers personal collection and it is awesome.”
Needs batteries to start. The seller lists this as a M-38. It looks like a 1952 or early 53 M-38A1 with the hinged grille.

Matt, the owner of Edmund Angelus, forwarded me a couple sets of pictures this weekend. You might remember the builds he shared with us a few years ago. Since then Matt moved his automotive company to Roanoke, VA. He not only knows his way around jeeps, but he also does complete collision repair on cars as well, along with fiberglass & gelcoat repairs to boats & personal water craft.
His new address is 3239 orange Ave, Roanoke, Virginia.
His phone number is 540-354-4321.
One of his recent projects was a former Fire Jeep with the data plate BJ-102, indicating at one point it was a Boyer Fire Jeep. Unfortunately, the fire equipment was long gone. Matt writes, “The jeep was purchased by a friend of mine from a car dealer in West Virginia. Commissioned to an individual for a off frame restoration, the Jeep was dismantled way beyond what was really needed. Motor, transmission transfer case were in pieces. Every piece of sheet metal was soda blasted to bare metal. When I came a crossed it the rebuild was going nowhere and the body tub was on a trailer, outside with water standing in it. I contacted the owner and negotiated to take on the restoration. The rest is history as they say. Another proud customer.”
On Saturday Matt (from the above post) took out a couple jeeps and aired them out at the veterans parade in down town Roanoke, Virginia. He says if anyone is looking for a couple jeeps for movie props, just let him know.
Anyone know what’s inside of this manual/catalog?

UPDATE: **SOLD** for $12,900.
This looks like a good restoration completed by Willys Jeep Restorations in Ohio. You can see the restoration process here. It appears a trailer is included in the sale.
“This Jeep and trailer were professionally restored by Bruce Uher with Willys Jeep Restoration. For complete history on this vehicle go to displayjeeps.com and select misc pictures and M38 for El Paso Tx, VFW Post pictures. You will not find a better jeep than this one. I have added a brand new top, new heavy duty starter and back packs for the back of the seats. The jeep had a complete tune up and everything was checked within the last 6 months.”

This looks in good shape.
