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 $500
Is that a turret on top of the hood? lol.

“M422A1 Mighty Mite, I bought this little mite to restore but now have to sell it because my situation has changed. This little Mite runs well and does not smoke. The transmission shifts easily and has no problems. The drive line is smooth and quiet. The body is strait and has no bondo or body filler. This would be an easy restore as most of the work is done already. Now for the bad, the brakes do not work ( need bleeding ), the windshield needs glass and the lights need to be checked. Also needs seat covers. I am unaware of any other items that is needed to make it a good driving piece of military history. There are not too many of these left.
From January 1960 to January 1963 American Motors Corporation (AMC) delivered about 4000 “Mighty Mites” to the United States Marine Corps for use in Vertical Envelopment Operations [i.e. airborne/ parachuting]. The 4×4 has a 4-speed manual transmission, is powered by an air-cooled aluminium V4 engine, and was designed to haul 850 pounds while pulling 1000 pounds in a trailer. With dimensions of 107″x60″, it has a 65″ wheelbase, and a fueled weight of 1750 pounds.”
This looks good.

Runs and drives, but needs clutch.
“I have what I believe (after researching serial numbers) to be a 1958 cj3b willys jeep for sale.Do not have a Title though .It was given to me with a bad clutch several years ago by a friend, I was going to just use it around my property or make a project vehicle out of it later on if I could aquire a title for it.I have started it several times since aquiring it and the engine sounds pretty good considering the age of it and the fact that it sat a few years before me aquiring it.I did drive it around a little bit and the gears all worked but the clutch was slipping so bad I had to park it.It would make a great project vehicle or for parts for someone elses project (since the parts are probably hard to find).I did call the DMV and it sounds like you could possibly get a title for it without to much hastle given its age.asking 1500.00 for it.Also has a small plow with it.Thanks for looking Ray”

I’ve heard that some people use Grey Hound Buses to ship parts, but Josh is the first to provide first hand experience. Here’s what he had to say.
“As a tip and likely often overlooked when trying to ship something, Grey Hound offers an excellent shipping service (cheaper and faster than USPS in every experience I’ve had) I recently had a full gpw windshield assembly with gun rack in a crate, a set of mb top bows, a skid plate, an air cleaner and a small pile of other parts all shipped in the same load by greyhound for less than $140. They are the way to go when it comes to these bulky parts. Also for a $2 fee they take C.O.D for shipping expense so no need for the seller to get back to you just pay for the part they drop it off packaged up at gray hound and you wait a couple of days for a phone call to come pick up your stuff! (sometimes they even help load 🙂 )”
Kim asked me to share an upcoming event.
Old FT. MacArthur Days July 9th and 10th at the FT. MacArthur museum in San Pedro California.
This is a “Historical Time Line Event” with re-enactment groups from Romans to modern day and everything in between. This is a great event to bring the kids too they will learn more correct world history in one afternoon than any school could teach. S 1 Patrol and the S.A.S. jeep will be their as well as many other vehicles including either the Sherman or Stewart tank. There is a $10.00 donation for adults and I believe kids under 12 are free. The money every bit of it goes to benefit the museum and keep up the park it is built on. The museum gets NO financial aid from our government. There are food and drink for sale as well as a good size vendor area if you are searching for something of the historical nature. S 1 Patrol will be on the right hand side as you come through the gate come by and say Hello Mate.
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $8000
This looks good.
