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 No Price.
This has a rear PTO and a serial number of 295XX (can’t read the last two digits).
“Willy’s Jeep CJ2A, 1st year for civilian Jeep. Complete and untouched by modification. 134L motor is damaged from leaking head gasket on rear cylinder. 6 volt system is still functional. Rear PTO is intact with optional belt drive included. Body is still in great shape as is drivetrain.”

This M-38A1 is claimed to be a NEKAF. It has some of the features (such as the strap across the battery box), but lacks others such as the turn signals that were unique to the NEKAF. Maybe the jeep includes more information about its origins. There have been several NEKAFs that appeared in US, such as these three in Texas listed back in 2013.
“1960 m38a1 Nekaf. This jeep runs great. Has all original 24 volt system. Newly rebuilt carb distributer and new clutch. Has Antique plates and is registered. Lots of fun and turns lots of heads.”
Sale includes the trailer. The jeep needs work.

A July 27, 1948, article in the San Bernardino County Sun introduced readers to Willys-Overland’s Jeepsters.
This March 21, 1943, photo and article highlight Rockridge School’s (Elementary?) WWII war efforts.
Maury shared this unusual booklet. I can’t imagine many of these survived.
